Ask HN: How do you create nice, clean 2D animations?
For explainer videos, simple animated gifs etc. that you put on your website for example. The most recent example is the GitHub LFS animation: https://github.com/blog/1986-announcing-git-large-file-storage-lfs

I've found a few options but none seem to make quite as polished animations as I've seen around the web.
This makes sense if you think about it from the cartel's standpoint, but it won't change much in the big picture. All the cartel's are doing is switching products, producing more cocaine, more meth, heroin, and ecstasy. All of which are vastly more popular and generate tons more revenue in the US than marijuana anyways.

Most of the articles I've read, talk about how marijuana is effectively a third or fourth tier product to them. Sure they bring a lot of it in, but it's not a huge money maker like other drugs are. This isn't hardly going to put a dent in their operations. When you have an organization generating BILLIONS of dollars, a few million here or there isn't going to affect them very much.
Ready Player One is on the top of my favorites list.

>>Why would anyone want more than 1080p on a phone?

>Did you miss the fact that we are discussing a video codec?

I apologize that you cannot follow basic thread context. I have provided the question that I answered for you so you can understand that the context of this thread wasn't artificially limited as you suggest -- (the question wasn't "with regards to video content only, why would anyone want >1080p"...)

Furthermore, I broadened the context explicitly by listing my 3 different tests (including video) that I based my answer off of. If you didn't want to use this context, you should not have replied to me, because I found these tests relevant to the larger question of why >1080p is useful and will become standard.

Thanks!
I wish that HN would actually enforce the new guidelines against people "honestly" insulting each other's companies and projects.

HN mods: were those just empty promises? Were there actually any changes in enforcement all?

At least could you prevent the most negative comment from always ranking at the top of every HN thread?
I'd let them choose what they want, let them quickly realize what works best for them, forcing them into a corner is only going to stifle them ("Hmm, I know how to do this with Django but not in rails/laravel/groovy/etc...fuck it let's dumb it down and get it to work..)
CDs only sucked if you didn't look after them! The same was true of vinyls, and your mobile phone. If I drop my phone, it will be damaged.

I never lend my CDs to those people who leave them in the wrong cases, bust the cases, leave CDs floating around drawers with pens, paperclips and scissors, attempt to get sleeve notes out by incessant gnawing at the edges etc. etc.

Cassettes were pretty robust though. They survive handling by the older generation far better than CDs ever did (or will)
I hope that quote doesn't become popular, because it may invalidate itself.
> so it doesn't have any legal force.

There are lots of things which aren't contracts which have legal force, so this is a huge non-sequitur: you can't leap from "EULAs aren't contracts" to "doesn't have any legal force." Maybe the most charitable way to read you then is saying that it's an "unenforceable contract". But courts are often willing to enforce such contracts, so that's not really true either. Courts have given various reasons why they've enforced EULAs, but I sense that the deepest reason is as a form of syntactic sugar: there is a "right way" to formally do this sort of thing, but that "right way" is much more inconvenient than this way, so this way is allowed too. Yes, technically the store that you bought Adobe Photoshop from should have had a printed contract which they presented to you when you bought the software, much like the many papers you'll have to sign when you're buying a car -- but because you're not buying from Adobe but from a third-party reseller in a vast network, a click-through license makes a lot of economic sense in a way that the "now let's negotiate for the keys to this house!" after-the-fact contract doesn't.
I sorta remember feeling this way when I was a junior when I was 26, I'm 29 now and a senior engineer for a global brand.

As you get older you'll probably give less of a shit about people's age. That and you'll see how young, stupid and naive the people who are younger than you really are :)
I did quite the bender over the last few years and covered all of the (Frank Herbert) Dune novels, as well as most of Orson Scott Card's and the Ringworld series. I highly recommend all of the Ringworld books if you haven't read them.
Have you got an email? Mine has my name in it.
Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, and I'm loving it. Some parts are funny, some are dry, and some are truly mind-blowing. As someone who loves wordplay, self-reference, and multiple layers of meaning, this book is like crack. Every chapter surprises me with something new. Its reputation is well-deserved.
The fund in the article is clearly not using 2 and 20.

I don't have a big issue with 2 and 20. It is the prerogative of both parties in the contract to come up with a more reasonable number for mega-funds.

The issue with this fund is graft and corruption.
Programming F# 3.0, 2nd Edition

While not reading it right now (read it 4-5 yrs ago) I recommend The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. One of the few non-technical books that I really enjoyed :)
Are you guys planning the "whispercloud.io" as well :P?
One of the problems with popularity is you will get a lot of mediocre developers who don't know what they are doing. You know, the people who pick up tools only because they think it will land them a job more easily. The same people who picked up VB.

You can't build a product with a mediocre team, no matter what tools you have.

If you have a decent team, I think they will be able to manage to build great products even with not-so-great tools. Of course, if you force them to use shitty tools, they might just decide to leave.
I have to read that one
"Off to be the wizard" is pretty light and fun. "John dies at the end" was fun, not really sci-fi, more buffy the vampire slayer esque. "Existence" by David Brin made me want to puke it had so many good ideas. A tiny bit dated, but very smart. "The Martian" I expect you've read it. Good romp, easy to read. Reminded me of a Michael Crichton. "World War Z" was good.
"Icebreaker: Who Started the Second World War?" by Viktor Suvorov
I'm a big fan of The Accidental Guerrilla. I went through a big counter insurgency phase about seven years ago. That book and The Gamble by Ricks were my favorites.
What I expected:

if ( isEmployeeWatchingNetflixAtWorkAllDay() ) {
employeeIsAboutToLeave();
}
Taking aside the current legal situation and trying to look at it from a purely financial aspect, wouldn't it be beneficial for countries like Thailand to allow those kind of people in for a limited amount of time and have them spend their money there?

Assuming Thailand will crack down on those temporary remote workers, they will just go some other place.

EDIT: fixed typo.
Use Listerr to Automate Drop-Shipping
Galaxy S5 has changed this equation for us.

My daughter knocked mine into a full bathtub with the only result being a funny sounding speaker for an afternoon. My wife dropped hers in the toilet, while holding our youngest, without issue. It has saved us quite a few times over the year - definitely worth it.
I'm hugely impressed by this tech, and I can't wait to see what happens when these devices (or similar) can automatically become a dynamic cluster, but the term "smart dust" will almost certainly come back and bite these companies in the near future.

PR isn't my thing, but "smart dust" has a whole heap of potential negativity when said by the general media, or heard by the general populous. Just because phones, cars and cards can be "smart", most people want their dust to be dumb.
Agreed, but TIT. Google it..
Granted. Fixed
This sounds weird, but that probably means too much effort and resources are being spent on improving air travel security.

One way to think about it is that those resources could save 100 times more lives per dollar in other areas.
Why not udemy/coursera/udacity? Lynda is great but seems a bit "old-style", but anyway I think this is the right move, a job site companied by training
In some cases it may be illegal in the U.S. also. The clearest case would be if a direct competitor hires someone to post fake negative reviews intending to damage a competing business (and fails to hide the trail). In that case the "target" would have a good case that their competitor is engaged in some kind of tortious interference with their business.

edit: There's at least one case currently in the courts on a similar theory, http://tushnet.blogspot.com/2015/02/allegations-of-fake-inde...
Europe, Disneyland, three whole ladies. Fascinating.

So what about them internships in Australia?
Practical Object Oriented Design in Ruby, Sandi Metz. Doing this for a bookclub I sort of helped start with some local developers.

A Game of Thrones, GRRM. The new preview chapter restarted my hype train and reminded me how much I missed reading the books. So I started another read-through, hoping I'll be done by the release of the next book.

I've also been reading lots of stuff on Git. I'm trying to learn everything I can about hooks so that I can start doing awesome things automatically, and I feel it's the one aspect of git workflows I haven't explored yet.
The Third Chimpanzee, Jared Diamond - Human evolution.

Code Complete 2 - Only halfway through but this is by far the best book about programming I have ever read.
Okay, let's have that "actual conversation" -- if testing is just a giant boondoggle, what method(s) do you favor for measuring education and achievement in a socioeconomic-neutral fashion?
I've always been curious about this. Sure human trafficking brings poor women in against their will but what happens then? They obviously can't work in legal brothels because they wouldn't have a work permit and I'm not sure who would visit shady illegal brothels if legal brothels existed or even where they would be set up.

Also, in a country with legal prostitution, aren't there regular inspections? interviews with the workers? I can understand in a poor country but how are these women being held against their will in shady establishments in a country with strong laws and an effective police force.
For extra funny, please raise money from LOWERCASE Capital. Chris, are you listening?
If you're interested in startup internships and you're in Melbourne the guys at http://www.tinalleybeta.com.au might be able to set you up somewhere. Other options are to ask around coworking spaces like inspire9 or york butter factory (Melb) or fishburners (sydney).

non-startups to look into: atlassian, campaign monitor, envato, 99 designs, canva (maybe).

Keep in mind that Australian employment law is a bit anti-internship: technically you can't contribute to a business' productivity without being characterised as an employee. So unpaid interns are, officially, not a thing here.

Unofficially, who knows where a bit of hustle can get you ;)
That's opposite what I was suggesting. The drug dealers can legally sell drugs, the users get in trouble for buying drugs. Just like the prostitutes can legally sell sex, but the johns get in trouble for buying sex.
The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy. Intriguing, hilarious, and fun. I recommend this to anyone.
At first, I was thinking the same as many others "this is terrible news!" but then I started thinking about the data that LinkedIn has and how they could apply it to Lynda.com

Imagine some scenarios:

- You are looking at a job. Based on the requirements, LinkedIn can recommend different Lynda courses you may take. Now, instead of meeting some of the requirements and not knowing the next step, you can fill those gaps.

- LinkedIn knows what people are endorsed for and who is "similar" to you. Based on that, they can make recommendations for courses that may improve/expand your skills to become more like the other person.. or potentially stand out from that person.

- You're posting a job. Instead of broadcasting it to the world, you can filter it to "promote to people who have skill X listed or who have taken one of these Y courses." Now you're more likely to get a better qualified set of candidates.

Exponentially harder it would seem and with less and less feedback, my guess is that the numbers will oscillate around some local minimum until there is a paradigm shift in travel technology.
Where's that HN comment API :)
The physics of Wall Street
Reading this too, loving it so far!
I second the "these days scrutiny of the single-star reviews is required". The knowledgable internet user is aware that it's the 1-star reviews which tell the truth (at least most of the time).
Ditto caffeine. Seems to have slipped into a lot of beverages and OTC supplements. Some people are sensitive to it or their religion disdains it.
For startups, I agree: certificates mean nothing. In fact, they can be a detriment as the certificates cause an increase in pay that may not be affordable in a startups budget. Plus since startups tend to live on the bleeding edge, there tend to not be certificates for newer technologies like golang. For large enterprises, I believe it gives them the peace of mind that the new hire has at least basic skills in a technology.
Windows Development Is Becoming Viable
If this fund were using 2 and 20 that 2 billion number would be higher - in fact, it would be 15 times higher (160 billion * .02 points * 10 years), and that's not including the 20% fee on gains.

2 and 20 is a sucker's deal. Stay out of hedge funds if possible.
They're releasing a lot more of all courses than they did in 2009.
There's a great novel, _Red Plenty_, by Francis Spufford, that touches on Soviet computing in the 50s and 60s as part of a broader exploration of Soviet economic planning. I wish more people would read it. It's a weird hybrid of reportage and fiction -- and almost seems science fictional in its world building. Here's a link to the Guardian's review: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2010/aug/08/red-plenty-fran...
Damn Cool Algorithms
wistful sigh DMAA was great. The reason it was popular was that it stimulated without the jitters.
Not every dog can be rescued. There are some dogs that simply have a bad temperament and will never be completely safe. Temperament in dogs is a heritable trait, and selecting a dog from a conscientious breeder who has selected the parents for breeding based on known good temperament and health testing (typically through the OFA program) including genetic testing, makes for a puppy with a predictable temperament and (if the OFA health testing program is followed) a much lower risk of heart, thyroid, vision, and joint problems, as well as genetic disorders, than selecting a dog from a shelter at random.
So.... did he miss the exit?
What the Deer Are Telling Us
If you legalize use in the US but keep production and distribution illegal, while it would probably help drug abusers get treatment, wouldn't this only feed more money to the cartels?
Lynda will miss us all. I deleted my LinkedIn account because it's not useful for computer science fields (I think). I didn't want spam anymore. I won't continue for long with them.

Review your older projects.
Sometimes when I look at old code that I wrote I can't help but think a lot about how now I would design / implement the whole thing with a different approach. Usually that makes me realize how much I've learn in the last time
You can try the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov if you like Sci-Fi.
YouTube launches no-ad version for users who pay monthly fee
Since few accidents happen in the cruise the more useful measure is fatal accidents/1m departures rather than hours or miles. In 2013 it was 0.16/1m departures for jet airliners[1]. If you took two flights a day it would be, on average, 8,200 years before you were involved in a fatal accident and you would have a 80+% chance of surviving that.

Type checking is typically done statically, i.e. during compile time. By the time you have AST it's too late.

Think about it, how would you handle type annotations in an agnostic type checker?

Isaac Asimov is a must read for people who love Sci-Fi. Some of his books I loved: The Robot Series (The Caves of Steel, The Robots of Dawn etc.), The Foundation Series, Nemesis, the list goes on ...
I work from home and watch Netflix all day, which is exactly why I won't be leaving. :)
I would agree.

Capt. Sully is known for being involved in aviation safety before Flight 1549 put him on the front page. It was like decades of training and experience, was leading up to that one day in January 2009 when Flight 1549 was able to land safely in the Hudson.

Some career pilots have very little stick-and-rudder (& thrust lever) experience, and fly on autopilot for thousands of hours. Shutting down the wrong engine is either very poor piloting, or a systemic training issue.
the "Crack Epidemic" really didn't start till 1984. Though this doubled the murder rates in teens in minority groups it doesn't explain the 1970 - 1984 rise. Though the lead gasoline seems crazy but very interesting.
Safari is good, but wouldn't something like Pluralsight be closer to Lynda?
You may also like Yevgeny Zamyatin's "We" [1]. Orwell asserted that Huxley ripped it off for Brave New World, but Huxley said that he had never heard of it.

Obviously there are a lot of good books out there, however "Traction: A Startup Guide to Getting Customers" is certainly one which most of the folks here would find interesting. It's a comprehensive list of what you can do to get your initial bunch of users.

The best line in the book though is the definition of traction: "It's identical to the Supreme Court's definition of porn: you know it when you see it!"
Polymer Gopher: Go and Polymer and Cloud Endpoints (live Coding)
Many European countries have a working holiday deal with Australia, that allows under 30s to work in Australia for one year.
I've read it in about 10 years ago, in my teens. It's funny because I've always thought that the Orwellian dystopia was a bit far-fetched, and the Huxleyan dystopia was much closer. Reading 1984, I feel like we're nearing both at the same time!
Writing Clean Tests – Small Is Beautiful
I'm reading Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays. I forgot until I picked this book up again how much fun it is to read David Foster Wallace. Despite all the footnotes, he's very engaging.

Also, my girlfriend just sneaked Raymond Carver's What We Talk About When We Talk About Love into my computer bag the other day. I haven't read him in a long time, but coincidentally was just very recently talking to a friend about What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami, which is mostly unrelated to the Carver book, but also a really good read about his life of running.
In that timescale, it could likely be good old ephedrine. The Ephedrine-Caffeine-Aspirin stack is popular and effective (and banned, like DMAA).
Yeah that's how I'm reading it but then I guess the question then becomes whether the projections were made specifically with a hedge fund strategy in mind or if they would have been the same for a more conventional investment approach.

I'm not trying to discount the take-away that the fees are very high regardless of the projection basis, but I think it's important to understand the difference. If these criticisms are not clearly reasoned or communicated, I think that fuels the perception in the financial community that these complaints are hysterical and unfounded and should be dismissed.
Sooner or later, investors will wisen up to the fact that hedge funds are not an asset class; they are a compensation scheme.

Who makes the decision to put pension funds into hedge funds anyway? This is just filtering away money from poor people, who would have seen better returns from an index fund. Disgusting and obscene.
I've had that book for over 10 years, but haven't read more than a chapter of it. I should give it another try.
Ehhh. Marusek makes several rather large conceptual leaps in order to make his plot hang together: notably, both human clones and intelligent machines have no civil rights, at all, to the point that either can be killed at the will of their owners.

Most ludicrously, there's no hint of political opposition or a protest movement. At no point does any character say anything like "Hey, wait, maybe clones are humans too?" or "Maybe sentient machines should have rights?"
Oh I think we see it already xp.
I completely agree. I may delete mine as well. There is so much spam lately!
Your not including general avaiation numbers.

Just 2010 had 267 fatal accidents and 453 deaths, though the trend looks good. http://www.aopa.org/About-AOPA/General-Aviation-Statistics/G...
