Ban Urged on Gene Editing Tools That Can Create Superior Human Beings
Given that humans are slow, expensive and heavy and increasingly a liability in most combat scenarios and the future of manned fighters does not look good since at this point any "new metal" called forth by active hostilities would be most likely automated and (relatively) disposable.

Unfortunately we seem to have lost our moral qualms about bombing civilians some time ago so any coming wars will look like skynet with flying murderbots killing based on policy decisions made far away by people who will never see their cousins body lying where the missiles blew it.

And if you think that's a bleak and hopeless view; just think how the Pakistanis, Afghans and Yemenis who've been living with that reality for a dozen years now; feel.
They removed support for 3rd party apps. This devastated me as it was the best music discovery service I've found (KCRW Music Mine and Pitchfork in particular).

It also removed the 'search' (command + F) in the song list.

I could see them not wanting to support poorly created apps, but removing the last one boggles my mind.
Author of ImplicitCAD here!

I had some neat tricks that made beveling most edges really easy! (Though, when the didn't work, it was pretty messy.)

Please keep in mind that I abandoned this project 2+ years ago, and started it four years ago. Things have come always since then. OpenSCAD was less mature when I started.
Different cannons shoot bullets at different speeds. Check out the (bonus) level 40 to just play around with a few different cannons at once, and see that their speeds stay constant whichever view you select.

I wanted to let the bullets have different speeds to change the 'strength' of the relativistic effects. For example, making the ones in level 9 move really, really fast so you couldn't pass through them without using a little relativistic trick.
Analogies are a good spur for creativity, even if they have to be sanity-checked afterward. Someone who didn't already know that cockpits are sealed might consider it by relating hijacking to buffer overflows. Your own analogies both suggest that some way of binding "pilotability" to the actual pilot would be useful -- maybe a retinal scan or DNA check before activating the controls.
Some parts of California make this easier by calling the county by the name of the biggest city. This makes local geographical references easier for non local audiences. Eg. The desalination project in Carlsbad -> San Diego County -> California -> United States. Even though Carlsbad isn't the city of San Diego, CNN might report that a desalination project is in progress in San Diego, and still be relatively accurate.

It seems that people do this in conversation by default already, even if the legal boundaries don't conveniently match with what they mean.
Pigeonly Is Hiring a Front End PHP Developer
As the submitter I just want to say thanks for dropping in to comment. As a professional CAD user and hobby Haskell learner, I found the project very interesting and thought it was worth sharing. If you ever feel like sharing I'd be very interested in reading a post-mortem of your work on ImplicitCAD or any other CAD-related software.

Bribery as a matter of course for accomplishing mandated tasks is its own kind of servitude.
I agree with this response wholeheartedly.

A third option is to propose redlines, a process often expedited when you provide back a signed, edited (and properly initialed) copy for them to countersign. This option demonstrates a willingness to engage. Worst case, you're in the same position as declining to sign the NDA.
Unless I'm reading the post wrong, he's saying it's "awful for us". That would include him, someone in the 1%.

My point is, the "plight of programmers" comes nowhere close to "awful" when you actually look at what some workers have to put up with.
Iirc, Half Life 2 has actually recieved a few graphical updates since it's initial release. I'm almost positive it got a Source engine update a couple years back, but I can't find any announcements about it.

At least in America, we can bitch about it and (mostly) not be jailed or murdered for it. Heck, sometimes, things even change for the better.
Sure there is.

Stealth capability isn't a boolean property. Intermittent detection isn't enough to target an aircraft. Being able to track from the ground, with numerous antennas and supercomputers, is much easier than tracking from the limited-diameter head of a radar-guided missile.

This is understandable, but not the case where I work. If you need to be writing SIMD code and this is the case, then you need to hire programmers who can do it. That or convince them to learn, as (again) it's not that hard.
No, you have to vertically center it as well. Horizontal centering is fairly easy even with flex-box.

Give npm scripts a chance
It came to my mind first because I'm at a huge company (read: a high value target for corporate espionage) and it's drilled into our heads from day 1 that answering questions about our business (let alone the architecture of our code!) from outsiders is a very serious breach of policy... the mandated behavior is to reroute them to customer service.

You are welcome to think my company is just dysfunctional but I think it's a reasonable enough concern to at least be worth bearing in mind -- and the OP responded to my post agreeing with that sentiment.

It's a bit naive to simply say "the onus is on the engineer", as if no engineer could be tricked by social engineering into seriously breaching policy.

Easier just to learn enough of vi to get around. I mean, if I need a more familiar editor, I'm just going. to visit the file remotely via Tramp, and for simple stuff like quick config edits on remote machines, quicker just to use vi or sed or a Perl one-liner.
Good for you making an app to scratch your own itch!
Pardon being negative when I know you are sharing some of your self with the world by showing HN.
I don't even mind the runtime tomfoolery, but it's disingenuous to say "Apple doesn't trust you to make grown-up decisions yet about what applications you want to run".

First off, "yet"? They're going to change they're mind at some point about code signing?

And second, nw.js apps like Kitematic can sign their code, no matter how quick a hack this is don't belittle Apple's security to explain away your laziness of not signing your app.

Thank you for sharing, although the glamorizing of killing yourself for work is also a bit disturbing.
Of course it's written by the same guy who created Hyperdock. Hyperdock is literally the one tool that makes OSX bearable.

First, I wasn't trying to shame him at all. I thought it was an ill-advised thing to try to do, and was explaining why I thought that. That's nowhere near the same thing as "shaming".

Second, it's naive to think Spotify engineers are, as a class, immune to the sort of social engineering that would lead people to commit serious policy breaches. If people can be tricked into giving away their social security numbers over the phone, it's not unreasonable to imagine somebody not realizing something was serious that actually (for whatever reason) was.
I really like Mg. I tried a bunch of mini-emacsen at one point and Mg was the only one that had a decent set of Emacs key-bindings and didn't have weird gratuitous differences. It's so small that it launches instantaneously, even on tiny, slow computers.
"Stealth" is an array of technologies that can reduce vehicle signatures across significant portions of the EM spectrum. No technology can protect against all wavelengths you might usefully use to detect, and you cannot be equally stealthy with respect to every wavelength from every angle, but you can dramatically reduce the overall apparent cross section (several orders of magnitude) and thus make the vehicle more survivable.
> Otherwise, would you suggest that every use of "font-family: sans-serif" is cheating

Yes, if your intent is to use font-family as an example in an argument for using CSS.

> and essentially conceding that you should have been using a <font> tag all along?

No, I'm saying that a font tag and a font-family style are equivalent. One is as good as the other.

It is useful in traditional Infrastructure. But micro services and/or 12 factor apps are going in a different route. Orchestation of containers, along with deploying applications, etc, are all combined: for instance, cloud foundry, Heroku, etc.
@t3ra I don't see a reply button below your answer. By bank side "security-check" do you mean 3dsecure? If so, then we handle it and the website doesn't need to do custom modification because of it.
That you no longer can sort by popularity AFAIK any longer is mindboggling, although even before you had to know about the "spotify:search: syntax.

Seems like a very common scenario they don't support any longer, for technical reasons? for not wanting people to listen to music that way?
LambdaPi: A Scheme / Lisp based operating system for the Raspberry Pi
Learn about Tramp, and for tasks complex enough to need a proper editor, you can edit those files in the same Emacs session you use for everything else. That's what I do with my RPi, for example -- it can pipe edits over an ssh session, so anything with an SSH server is eligible. (Revisiting this comment, it occurs to me to add that all my editing on my main machine is done this way. I play a game or two sometimes, so it runs Windows, but I run Emacs in a Linux VM and edit, in full X11-powered, keyboard-unfettered splendor, via transparent SSH authentication with the Windows host.)
Is this proposing simply that googlebot merely a web-rendering engine (a web browser) or is it saying that googlebot is crowd sourced web crawling performed by everyone using chrome?

It sounds like the former, which is rather boring and kinda obvious, since the ability to crawl js-based websites requires "a browser" of sorts to render the content...
The idea is good but they need to have both an "about" page, contact info, and remove the privacy on their whois. [1] If they aren't willing to disclose who they are I would have a problem with hiring them. [2] There is no reason for the business that they are in that they can't act like a business.

[1] Use a business address, a po box, a relatives address or anything "legitimate". Cloaking in this case is just a turnoff.

[2] I hire people to do things that I could use this for.
After trying to scroll down a little bit with the mouse wheel and then trying the space bar as an alternative and finally just grabbing the scroll knob and adjusting, I gave up trying to read this site. Immensely frustrating.
You are missing the point of Mg—it's not to replace Emacs as your development powerhouse, but to give you little binary that acts a lot like Emacs but runs in some tiny vm or embedded device somewhere.

You can also cross compile it (which you cannot do to Emacs).
This sounds like a really awesome startup. I'd love to know if you are ever looking to hire a software engineer (~2 years experience).

I work on an Indian e-commerce site, so just from contact with my friends on our payments team I know how complicated payments are in India.
Designing the UI for the Internet of Things
I've never heard of Hyperdock but damn that's nice. Thanks for mentioning that!
You cannot, however, install full blown Emacs on your Netgear router running OpenWRT. Mg is heaven sent in cases like that. Tiny linux machines still exist (Raspberry Pi is not tiny, resource-wise).
This does appear to be vertically centering it, at least in Firefox.
If your argument is that America's problems are caused by Europe, that's pretty embarrassing.

At first I thought my spotify was strange, because I was trying to look in my playlist and a few minutes of searching today I discover they removed that feature in the new version and right now the only way to get it back is to download and old version, my questions is why did they have to remove this, and they have done this in other times.

edit: I am talking about the search in playlist (command + F)
The autohotkey script that pops up when you google "spotify autohotkey" broke, and that pretty much prevented me from listening at work for a week. Very annoying to not have a quick way to stop my music when a coworker taps me on the shoulder.

"war-torn Eastern Europe" in Hungary in 1994? Looks like a parallel universe to me.

Helping the less fortunate is a good idea. The less able (or less willing) being forcibly inserted into a workplace is not a good idea and doesn't help anyone.
> No way in hell would I assign that today. Not even to grad students.

If this is not hyperbole, then it is shocking. I mean OK, I can imagine undergrads being hysterical one way or another -- that's part of being that age. And frankly we are all still working out millennia of screwed up attitudes, so some reasonable positions can seem crazy, and vice versa.

But a grad student in German history should be able to read, and carry around, Mein Kampf; if that is reasonable than why shouldn't a grad student in English, Indian, or African colonial history be able to read an account of an equally dreadful past?

If you can't cut an animal apart don't become a medicinal chemist. Likewise if you are squeamish about history, don't become a historian.

I am not entirely without sympathy for the idea of a union modeled after those in e.g. Hollywood; I can see reasonable arguments on both sides.

But the guild that controls the medical profession has turned out to be a disaster of such epic proportions that I am stunned any sane person would consider it anything other than a grim cautionary tale. Any other setup would be better than that. (Beware of the temptation to let the high status of medicine influence one's opinion of the institutions by which it is run.)
(You have to wait for sometime before reply appears -- i guess)

During the initial onboarding process and filling paper work, we were told the site will do through a specific "bank-side security check" in which the bank officials will check the site for security issues.

Also we were forced to add links to ToS, privacy policy, etc on the first page of the website or else they wont give us the damn PG (even after the pages were visibly linked on the "shop" part of the site)

You can bitch about police corruption in Singapore -- rare as it is. The media isn't afraid to report, and the government isn't afraid to act.

And sure, you can bitch about it in the USA -- common as it is. Except the media doesn't care (unless you have particularly compelling video footage) and the government is too scared to act.
This doesn't seem like 99designs does it? As far as I understand, 99designs pins 100s of designers against each others making many logos of which to choose from, which means that most of them works for free.

The examples don't seem very plausible (except perhaps the python one). In the case of website scraping, why not just pay Mechanical Turk? You apparently just need the data so why try to order it as a script?

In the case of express.js, why would a programmer pay someone to follow a tutorial? You can't use the outcome (a completely unstyled blank website) for anything. The third example clarifies that building a themed website is out of scope.

The python module is something I could maybe see somebody ordering, if they were a student trying to get their homework done by someone else, or maybe a programmer who isn't competent to do their job but needs to deliver some code now and again and is probably being given very basic assignments.
Till now, we have mostly tapped our friends, Jaipur and IIT network. We have already got good traction without any PR. We are mostly targeting startups, ecommerce and other early stage ventures at the moment and evolve our marketing model from there.
I know someone there, too, but I have also been scouted a few times by folks looking to have me move from Toronto to Vancouver (something I’m not willing to do for a lot of reasons).
In my experience, those officers may have engineering backgrounds but are not doing direct engineering work. They are usually project and program managers.

You will find the most civilian engineers at major ranges and test facilities. Places like Edwards AFB, White Sands Missile Range, Patuxent River NAS, China Lake, etc. The DoD employs tens of thousands of engineers at these and other sites.
This looks great! We recently setup an e-commerce site in India that is using the ICICI payment gateway and it took us over 2 weeks for all the paperwork, setup and integration. Plus the initial setup cost was substantially more than 5K. Just to confirm - are you saying that you have reduced that entire process down to just 15 minutes?
If so, that is just an incredible feat and kudos to you and your team. Just a few questions -

- How are you validating the customer's business information and bank details?

- How do your transaction fees compare to ICICI and the others?

- Do you have modules/plugins for integration with any of the popular e-commerce platforms? ( We are using Nopcommerce)
Having worked as an actuary who prices insurance, you are wrong. Most clients already know what they want there prices to be. It is is common to calculate insurance rates based on statistics then hit everything by a constant varying anywhere from .5 to 2 to get the rates to be competitive with the market. It's all about the government mandated signature.

From the Helios FAQ:

Should we start using Helios for public-office elections? Maybe US President 2016?

No, you should not. Online elections are appropriate when one does not expect a large attempt at defrauding or coercing voters. For some elections, notably US Federal and State elections, the stakes are too high, and we recommend against capturing votes over the Internet. This has nothing to do with Helios itself: we just don’t trust that people’s home computers are secure enough to withstand significant attacks.
I'm friends with a business analyst at a bank. They use their Bangalore office to do data or excel munging tasks all the time. But it's an offshore office staffed by company employees. There's no way he'd be able to send his data tasks to an outside party. And even if he could, he wouldn't be able to get the bank to pay for it.
