This will be a problem. If you have non-technical clients, this will really be a problem. Work on this first.

Given how the market is, you don't need to be really good. I've found communication to be more important than technical skills.

You're not the first to wonder about this. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK62370/ "It should be noted that while these results may reflect the effect of exercise patterns on mortality, reverse causation is also possible—that the results reflect instead the effect of health on physical activity."

But what if you studied people who made a decision to change their exercise habits, and checked if it made a difference in general health?

Is that the Skerton? I find that annoying at times even with relatively large hands. Wondered if the Hario MINI MILL SLIM would be better.
It really isn't.

OpenSSL's heartbleed was incredibly hard to patch because of the sheer number of products that link to the OpenSSL libraries. It required painstaking effort to ensure everything was running the latest releases. And the severity of Heartbleed was such that all encrypted information could be deciphered.

Whereas this problem... is a simple server crash that can be fixed by running a Windows Update. Not even on the same scale of vulnerability.
My favorite Siricusa review line [0] (of many, this one is about 10.7 lion):

'Finally, we come to the heart of the matter. In Lion, what does Apple say to the god of file system death? "Not today."'

He is referencing this iconic moment [1] from Game of Thrones.

I just want to get a subscription product out there fast, not spend three months building yet another user registration database with oauth and payments.

What I really need is something like shopify - but allowing subscription payments via Stripe. I also need Shopify to provide an API so I can query my user database and do stuff with it.

I want someone else to be taking care of user interface stuff. I should be able to pay and get a gorgeous looking site that works well on mobile and desktop, facilitates user signin via oauth, allows me to set up products and prices, lets people purchase my services on a recurring basis, doesn't try to own my user base and lets me write code to access all the relevant user and account and product data.

I do agree that there is a level of risk of the provider going bust but I'm willing to take that risk at least in the initial stages of a project. To offset risk I need to be able to get backups or replication of my user database out of the Shopify system.

Surely it's an opportunity for someone.

Here's what needs to be melted together:

-- Shopify

-- Stripe

-- StormPath

-- oauth.io

-- and maybe something like Strikingly or Squarespace.

Put it all together and you basically get a digital subscription goods business in a box. I could immediately get going writing code to provide my digital service, not wasting my time building shops and user databases and login systems AGAIN.
Wiggo's not legit? Big Swiss, especially a couple seasons back, seemed well designed for this record but he's not the time trialist he used to be. Wiggo won the world championship last year over a fiendish Tony Martin. Wiggins will set the record and then in a year or a few Martin, on a track bike fitted with a 58x11, will crush it.

I wonder if we integrated regular walking into our city planning that we could reduce cardiovascular disease and obesity.
Preaching to the choir ;) If someone reputable built it, I would also highly be interested, as it is such a pain re: subscriptions. It would be nice if Stripe just had a spinoff that handled all this as there is major overlap in skills required.
I still don't understand the point of your comment then. Yes, the rocket's (potential) TWR will be above 1 at all points of the flight.

What does that have to do with the comment you're replying to? The Falcon 9 has 9 engines. The combined thrust of all of them has to be greater than the weight of the fully loaded rocket. That doesn't mean a single engine will always have more thrust than the weight of the entire rocket.

Just to clarify to everyone that this vulnerability has absolutely nothing to do with IIS web server. HTTP.SYS is not part of IIS. HTTP.SYS is the way HTTP/S hosting works on Windows. Any applications may use it, it is an API.

HTTP.SYS is a clever idea as it allows the 80/443 ports to be used by multiple processes, as long as they register unique base URLs. What's not so clever about it is that despite rigorous testing and validation against its codebase, that something like this slipped through. Historically, HTTP.SYS has had a pretty good track record (against all the odds) until this week.
Hmm, it sounds like you only consider people in the United States, which is only about 5% of the human population.

They don't make this easy:

Of course making it easy is a ton of work.
If they want to gain some traction maybe they should work on a version of the OS in Rust. That would be interesting. glibRust.

There's no question smartphones are completely different, I'm talking about laptops and desktops. I'm writing this comment from my late 2008 MBP, which in terms of perceived speed is identical to my 2014 MBP work computer. If the new MBPs have Skylake then I'll upgrade because this one is starting to fall apart, but I'm certainly not pretending that it's going to make me more productive or have any tangible benefit.

A dedicated third party company is going to do this better than me. There's ALOT to do if you want to cover all bases, mobile, desktop, visual design etc.

That would seem to be subject to the same basic problem; whether people make a decision to add exercise may well be strongly affected by their experience with activity eighth may be affected by the same kind of subclinical condition that itself is a mortality predictor discussed up thread.

Of course the potential for such inverted causality is a cause for developing and testing hypotheses about the alternative explanations, not a reason to casually dismiss the study or the more obvious conclusion on the causal relationship.
The OP here is Neil Fraser, a google employee who's done some really awesome work, including the creation of Blockly[1]. The rest of his writings and software are worth checking out.

It could go both ways. I can't speak for the OP, but I can say that I've found it's sometimes easier to explain sensitivities as allergies to people who don't understand the differences. So, giving that poster the benefit of the doubt, I'll assume they either don't know the difference themselves, or they DO know but don't want to split hairs on the matter in case someone doesn't know.

As a personal anecdote along these lines and since discovering my own sensitivities to canola (and rapeseed oils in general), I've learned that simply calling it a "sensitivity" doesn't always convey the need to avoid certain ingredients. So, sometimes I tell people instead to "think of it as a food allergy," which they usually understand.

I think that at least part of the problem is that, to a layperson, sensitivity doesn't sound as urgent or at least is suggestive of "optional avoidance." For some people, chemical sensitivities are anything but optional avoidance...
I think OS X is really missing a good tiling window managers for developers. I think it is the only pain point that I found when using OS X.
Please see above comment where I say neither are being used.
Reality and what you think don't have to have any relation. What people believe and what is objectively provable are only weakly correlated.
I think the continuity features like automatically being able to load a Safari tab that I've loaded on any other Apple device is great. I thought Spotlight wasn't very good until I used it with a SSD. Many of the Yosemite features will probably become better over time as they mature, too.

Computers that update themselves in their sleep, time machine, continuity, notifications, the app store (and gate keeper), high resolution support, and mission control are all pretty huge in my eyes.
So, IIS doesn't use http.sys?
THE best part in my opinion is that they live stream every mission and are very transparent about failures. I think they realize how many geeks and engineers are watching and that we understand that failure !== defeat.
Patrice Dominguez a vécu sa passion pour le tennis jusqu’au bout
I don't know how many were in this camp, but with every OS X release I was more excited about reading Siracusa's review than upgrading.

While I started only with 10.3, I have found reading the older review as a fine page of OS X history. Maybe Siracusa these should become a book. Maybe Apple should move to OS 11.
Yeah, that could definitely be true. It took me about 3 weeks of full-time work to get it to the point where I felt safe with it. Tons of test transactions, error checking, dummy accounts, etc. If you were not a programmer, and wanted to configure some type of subscription service, I literally have no idea how you would do that w/ stripe. This is not for everyone and there should be a turn key solution like Shopify. I 100% agree. This was basically time that I blew, working on something people almost never see, when I could have been building my product.
Newtonian physics dominated the Universal model until Einstein and relativity (I believe?)
After we migrated to Python 3, we came to regret the decision with considerable regularity. We mostly use MacOS, and working with OpenGL and scientific libraries has been painful. We never found that a library we needed was not available for 2.7, but lots of stuff has not been ported to 3.3. The syntactic advantages of 3 have been too minor to warrant the troubles we earned. Your mileage may vary, if you have different applications, of course.
This looks interesting. I am learning python at the moment by making a flask application. It is pretty neat to see how they transpile things like list comprehensions into javascript. I'm currently stuck in angular land right now though, and as much as I would want to try this out refactoring all of my current code sounds like a pain in the arse.
> with ads

Why ads? Facebook would be providing internet.org for free, right? If the goal is getting more people on the internet, then internet.org could provide unfettered access to the internet and still reach their goal. However, if the aim is to get more people on their platform and increase Facebook's bottom line, then the goal is about manipulating one of the most disenfranchised people.

A way out for the zero rated schemes and internet.org is to sponsor bandwidth for the end user. The telecom service providers could offer 100mb per month free to the end users and bill internet.org et al for the service.
It's interesting - I use a lot of features of OS X that I think most people don't touch often (I'm probably one of the only people on HN who frequently launches apps from Launchpad with the four-finger squeeze, for instance) - but notifications bar and mission control are two that I've never found any use for. (I'm an Cmd+Tabber)

Indeed, Notifications has an annoying habit of locking up an otherewise solid 10.8.5 so I can't command+tab between apps. It always returns after 45-90 seconds, and I can kill it by bringing up spotlight and launching activity monitor - but that's the only impact that the notification tray has made on me. (Though, notifications themselves, akin to what Growl used to do, are kind of handy - except for the annoying one telling me I have to update my computer that I can't stop from coming back - particularly harsh when you are doing a presentation on a projector)

Yes - I use Spectacle constantly. I looked for years for a good tiling window manager - at least once every three-four months I would go searching the web, and wondering "Why has nobody built a decent tiling window manager."

Spectacle does 60% of what I want, and the keyboard shortcuts for it are in my finger DNA. Works particularly well on a 13" Macbook Air. But I'm still holding out for a proper tiling window manager - one of these days...

His Snow Leopard review was also in part a classic because the release was a classic. Nothing was left unturned in that OS, it was a goldmine for a guy like him.

I hope a feature release will be of a similar caliber (i.e., "make ALL the things better") and I hope Siracusa is strong enough to stay away from it.
How Machines See the Web: Exploring the Web Algorithmically
React came just now. It's was officially released few weeks ago. T3 team might have started working on it's framework from quite long time ago.

Edit - Just to clarify - Reach and T3 are totally different things. T3 talks about structuring your application components for better code management. There is nothing stopping you from using both of them together.
Consider this: If you're conducting tests and measuring your points of failure over numerous iterations, you eventually find the "threshold" of success. Exactly how much howsit and whatsit you need to produce a desirable outcome. Then you can pile on a margin of safety as needed. Continuous improvement of this sort eventually results in an efficient system or structure along with robust documentation of failure modes which you can then anticipate and accomodate.

Also, there are different ways things can fail, E.G. catastrophically vs gracefully. For example, when your steel bike fails it will generally start creaking and slowly bend, allowing you to come to a stop or even ride home. Your carbon bike bike on the other hand is more prone to snapping or shattering, a catastrophic failure mode with potentially grave results.
I tend to read that wisdom as referring to things like mathematical theory being mostly advanced by people under 30. People's brains seem to hold onto some extra bit of IQ between 20 and 30, that can be used to do some "wondrous" things. Of course, most big things that need doing don't need a supergenius; they need 10-20 years of steady hard work, so by the time you accomplish those you are indeed 30+ (or, god forbid, 40+.)

Anyone know how fast the engine's gimbal is? The video makes it look like the gimbal lags significantly behind the angle of the rocket, so even when you're rotating one way, you end up burning more toward that angle as the engine slowly gimbals to the other side.

Granted, this is in slow motion. I just would've expected the engine to be gimballing to the other side even before there was a noticeable rotation.

Siracusa is one of my favorite podcast voices. I was really surprised to hear how gregarious a person he seems to be, considering the autistic level of detail he always put into his OSX reviews.

We have similar ages and technical backgrounds so any time some misapprehension of POSIX or USB or Star Wars comes up on a podcast he's always the one who explains it to the other hosts, but in a relatable or entertaining way.

I've recently become a huge fan of the simplicity of a french-press cold-brew - something I came up with on my own, while being completely unsurprised that plenty of others have as well.

Just a course grind into a French Press full of water. Leave it on the counter over night, and press in the morning. At first I was letting it steep in the fridge, but found that it steeps stronger and faster at room temperature. Sometimes I'll throw it in the fridge in the morning and let it steep longer while chilling if I know I'll want iced coffee later in the day.

Cold brew definitely seems to maintain far more flavor. And I agree that it tends to be less bitter, though I've found lowering my water temperature (regardless of method) has removed most of the bitterness in my [near-]boiling brews.
It would be possible to generate basic API documentation from the IDL the browsers actually use internally. It would not necessarily be completely accurate because sometimes browsers don't use IDL for their features, but it would be another tool, and would have helped in this case.

You wouldn't need to even be a member of the browser team to do this, since the relevant data is all open source.

Turn 15 Spam Sales Emails into 1 you actually care about
Sale Boat is a cleaner, more relevant way to get notified about online sales for savvy online shoppers who are dissatisfied with the 15 spam sales emails they receive every morning (or at 12am, right after you go to sleep; bastards). Sale Boat provides a single email everyday that filters sales based on criteria you define and only from stores you tell us to get deals from. Unlike other sales aggregators that blow sales they think you'd care about in your face, Sale Boat only delivers you sales that you've told us you want.

Yeh that's great if all you are doing is mild web browsing and sending emails. Last year I ditched my late 2008 MBP for a 2014 MBP (both 15") and the difference is astounding. I can play CSGO at 150fps rather than 25. Furthermore it doesn't overheat and shut down while playing CSGO. For work it is also a massive improvement when I run MATLAB scripts that involve huge matrix multiplications, inversions, SVDs etc.

HN Idea: Credit Agencies Offer Two Factor
Here is an idea for the credit agencies out there. Offer two factor authentication. If someone wants to run a credit report against an individual, provide a pay for service (<5 per month) where users can opt in for a two factor PIN. They receive an alert when a credit run is attempted, and can provide that pin for access..

This offers the alternative to locking your credit report for X years. Instead, you lock your credit report, and only opt out of locking when providing a new job/lease/apartment/utility a one time pin for checking the report.

Thoughts?
