I use an ATIV Book 9 Plus ultrabook (13.3" LED QHD+ 3200 x 1800) as my main machine - the HiDPI screen is stunning and it is something I couldn't live without now.

Up until a week or so ago, my OS was GNU/Linux Debian Jessie, my DE was Cinnamon and/or i3wm (depending on how I felt).

A week ago I switched to Fedora 21 as I have to get back up to speed with RHEL for a work project. I am now using Gnome 3.14.2, and to be perfectly honest I am pleasantly surprised with the entire experience.

Development tools: vim, gcc, python, opera-beta.

Communication tools: utox and irc.

I also run another machine that sits on a different VLAN that I use for skype, the machine is locked down with SELinux and firewall rules both inside the machine and on the Ethernet switch and router, I also use this machine if i need to view any flash content.
Great work!

The EmberJS panel is also a good read.

Oh, the irony.
I would certainly discount info from a researcher who amongst other things: consistently ignored evidence disproving his assertions over time, was funded and endorsed by racist/white supremacist organization specifically to produce literature suggesting racial hierarchy in intelligence[1][2].

More importantly, the concept of IQ is a myth: there is no single measure of intelligence, different neural networks coordinate verbal vs reasoning vs short-term memory abilities, etc[3][4]. That one test (based on solving certain classes of problems at most) is still being extrapolated to assessment of overall intelligence and used to somehow differentiate people is ludicrous.

First, the world needs to become truly globalised in terms of cost of labor. It's pragmatic from capitalist standpoint, and it also serves the interests of humanity (I find that these two are almost entirely oriented together, if we're talking about a swarm of competing capitalists and not one behemoth monopoly). But after the whole world comes to more or less the same cost of labor, this will begin to rapidly appear across the whole globe.

Here's another great piece on that problem: https://medium.com/@RickWebb/the-economics-of-star-trek-29ba...
As noted in the comments though, there's a lot more than can be written.

There's no acknowledgement of the politics of the "reserved" list, the Power 9 (and why even to this day, they have never been reprinted). Or efforts such as "Modern Masters" where Wizards reprints rare cards from years ago that are still in use. (OMFG Tarmogoyf).

I already know a bit about the game (not a pro like some people...) but the article feels quite "empty" to me. So many issues were just not even addressed, and the article seems like a gross simplification of what is going on.
"If you want to say I chose to become homeless and sleep on the streets, really all I have to say is fuck you. You’ve never experienced it.”"

If this is a truthful statement, why doesn't he get some sort of job and rent out a cheap room? He seems like he is sane and with the ability to work a labor job or a job at a fast-food restaurant.

Even on minimum wage, you could rent out a room on craigslist or a hotel for a weekly rate (I did this before and the prices haven't changed much). There are options for physically and mentally able individuals to get a roof over their head.

From the bottom of the article: “I’ve become a professional vagabond, and this is the lifestyle that I love.”

I think many of these people (not all) choose not to get a job because it's very empowering to live without having to follow many rules. It's a similar freedom to working for yourself.

It's about time. While they're at it, hopefully they'll also fix all of those weird syncing bugs (e.g. after syncing some new songs don't appear in their playlist, apps that were deleted on purpose re-appear, ringtones disappearing, etc.)
One rarely touched upon subject is that of education. Almost across the board globally where you see severe poverty you see much lower rates of education and much inflated rates of crime / violence.

I'd give $50 million to the Khan Academy to continue what they are doing at a much increased pace. I'd partner with SpaceX to speed up their mesh Internet satellites in space idea. Then I'd subsidize renewable energy sources such as hydro, wind, and solar electricity throughout much of the poorest parts of the world. The key would be subsidizing the hardware but teaching locals how to operate and maintain this new infrastructure themselves.

Next would be standardized teaching of teachers from local areas to provide free schooling throughout most of the poorest and unreached parts of the world. This would be in partnership with the Khan Academy (or a similar institution of nonprofit status). They could tailor the curriculums to basic education and trades that benefit the local area. Examples would be farming, skilled trades, medicine, etc. if a Kaizen approach was followed, it should slowly improve the economy and thereby the world.

The overarching goal would be self sufficiency. It allows those with no hope to build ladders by teaching others to build ladders that let them climb out of the hole (metaphorically speaking) they are stuck in.

I used a hard realtime JVM for a safety-critical missile-defense related application, but that was almost ten years ago. The JVMs to consider are IBM's WebSphere Real Time[1], Aicas JamaicaVM[2] (their front page shows examples of use in medical devices) and Atego (formerly Aonix) Perc[3]. Both Aicas and Atego focus on the embedded market (don't know about WebSphere RT).

See here for some background and some related links (http://www.javaworld.com/article/2906981/java-app-dev/little...). There's recently been a lot of activity around RTSJ 2.0 (real-time specification for Java)[4], JSR-282, led by Aicas, and JSR-302[5] -- also led by Aicas -- which is built on top of RTSJ and meant to support DO-178B certified, safety-critical applications. I see that JSR-302 is marked inactive[6], which means it hasn't had a milestone in the past year, but I think that the relevant JVMs already implement it (or something similar), even if it hasn't been ratified as a standard.

I can tell you that for us, at least 10 years ago, it was a remarkable success, and saved us a lot of time vs. developing in C or Ada, but that was for code running on large servers. I haven't had experience with RTSJ on embedded devices. Many others have, but I doubt they read HN.

You probably want to keep DSP in C, but for everything else Java may save you a lot of time and money.

The Effect of Physical Exercise on the Concentration of Individuals with ADHD
A funny error in the article: "The Varieties of Religious Experience" was written by William James, not Henry James—it'd be a very different book if his brother had written it.

The article tries to give the impression that mindfulness meditation as it appears in the U.S. is more of a money making gimmick than an effectively distilled version of the Eastern tradition. Undoubtedly people will try to make money off of it and you'll have plenty of books/teachers who present it in a disconnected fashion whose only efficacy derives from the placebo effect (which will probably be enough for it to spread with good reputation through corporate culture). That said, there's a pretty long tradition of smart people who've been trying in earnest to interpret meditation practice and Eastern philosophical concepts in a Western framework. There's a lot of variety in the results, sure—but at the same time there's a core set of ideas and practices that have an internal consistency, and—in my opinion—which fill an important gap in the typical U.S. life philosophy. In particular, it offers a solution to the problem of, "what greater ultimate goal can I have for life than obtaining positive experiences and avoiding negative ones, if I'm basically an experience machine who will cease to exist after X years?"—without asking people to have faith in some positive metaphysical system. Additionally, meditation can be powerfully instructive in letting people see/remember certain aspects of being human that it's easy to lose after spending years feeling driven to accomplish some goals.
Even going to a "fairly efficient" small claims court is infinitely less convenient than not going at all.

The most mission critical one is probably the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System.

Here's Lockheed Martin announcing that they chose a (propriety) JVM to run "several critical subsystems" of the Aegis system in 2006[0].

Here's them announcing said project passing operational trials fours years later[1]. Surprisingly fast for a military project.

Many proposals for Basic Income set the rate too high. A reasonable amount would not overly disincentivize people from working. So in your case, yes, you could spend much more of your time doing open source development, but it is likely you will still want to some commercial work so you can have bit more than just the bare necessities.

Publishers need to take responsibility for their content. You want me to view an ad? Fine,serve it to me. Don't tell me to go download an ad from someone else.
Controls in science are relative to something. If you want to verify mindfulness meditation, you have to compare it against something else, something as similar as possible.

I used the phrase 'placebo' informally for the process of controlling against something as similar as possible which lacks the specific content you want to verify. I gave an example of acupressure (which has been done). You gave your own example of how to control against benefits being from meditation rather than the mindfulness modality of meditation.
If you're going to be pedantic at least do it well. Going by the dictionary definition of drug: "a medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body" both caffeine and cannabis fit the bill.

PHK makes a thoughtful point. But I don't know where to go from there. What are the alternatives to the Bazaar? We have two cathedral builders (MS & Apple) who have both built very large cathedrals with very tall walls around them. If you want to get in, you have to pay up. And then you have to obey by their rules. And don't even think about watching porn inside the cathedral.

Do we need another cathedral? Or a cleaner bazaar? Or something else entirely? We ought to be careful not to throw out the baby with the (admittedly dirty) bathwater.

I used to think so too, but what you really need (or want) are personalized emergency messages. Already they do this with e.g deaf people who can receive the info on SMS.

Imagine that instead of some message on the radio (which you may or may not hear) or a single alarm noise which tells you nothing beyond the existence of an emergency you received a push notification telling you exactly what the issue was, how it would effect you (e.g you don't have a car so here is where the bus stops for the evacuation busses are), and anything special you needed to know. You could make this infinitely personalised.

Nothing like this is possible with linear radio, which can only give you general information, or specific information that is unlikely to be relevant for you.

Sorry - I have no idea how I missed your post(the non-chronological order of HN is a bit confusing to me) - but your first post certainly did make a statement without providing any evidence.
> But society is still such that you need to work 40+ hours every week if you want to be part of the middle-class.

For half your life or less, in the west.

People tend to forget that life expectancy has gone up dramatically over the past 100 years whilst the retirement age has been largely left alone. My mother retired recently and she has decades of life left, which will be largely spent as a life of leisure - just as the utopians predicted.

Additionally, the economic pattern in the last century or so has been richness and growth followed by a recession in which the workforce participation rate drops permanently. After the recession, there are always fewer people in work than before. So over time fewer and fewer people are working, and more and more people are being supported by welfare programs. Although they may feel their life is hard, a Victorian would undoubtably see their life as one of utopian leisure (they have entertainment on demand, in the UK free and great healthcare, can travel easily etc).

As society gets richer, the number of people in retirement or studying or living on welfare will steadily increase until one day we wake up and realise that most people don't work, or don't work very much, or don't work for very long, or who pass in and out of work as they wish. It won't be a big bang one day we're in utopia sort of thing, it'll just be a gradual recognition that the percentage of people who work and who are supporting other people who spend the bulk of their life in university+welfare+retirement has got really low.
I do hope they've got a plan for maritime weather broadcasts. A lot of sailors from all over the world rely on FM radios to keep them alive.
I ran a business (before it was called a startup:) for way too many years ungil I finally (depressed and broken down) sold it for a "penny" just to get out of it.

These days I am building a new product (again), calling myself a self funded startup.

The difference is that these days I look forward to mondays.

Back in the old days i dreaded mondays.

If you would rather procrastinate or get drunk than work, it might be a good time to leave and call it dead!

PS. Those i sold the business to got quite successfull after I left, so it was probably for the better!
I'm in mechanical engineering and love tinkering with stuff, and I also can't really find an excuse to get a 3D printer. In the research lab I used to work in, we had both a printer and trotec laser cutter (for acrylic and similar), and the cutter was used multiple times every single day while the printer was fired up once a month or so. Note that we also had two CNC milling machines, a lathe and a full complement of power tools, which likely contributed to the printer seeing very little use.

Also, your post reminds of a recent blog post by a friend of mind who is cofounder of a makerspace in the college town we were in. Loosely translated, he deplored how the maker culture has shifted from a utopia where everyone could learn to make their own durable and useful objects instead of buying into mass-production, planned obsolescence and consumerism, to a bunch of people manufacturing mostly useless plastic trinkets.

All in all though, when I move into a home with a garage, I'd love to get of those chinese mini-lathes which can be had for sub-1000$ :) And I wish laser cutters were less expensive (the trotec we had was bought around 40k I think, actually more than our CNCs).
There would have been no way to validate it because they couldn't measure the accuracy of a timepiece to within even a few seconds.
The consumer doesn't win, the consumer pays 1-3% more for everything than they should for good/services and the merchants ALWAYS endsup being shafted which leads them to raise prices more to account for fraud and chargebacks.

The only who actually wins is the credit card cartel.
That's true, but it's also because we keep pushing the distinction to be "50 hrs or nothing at all". And that's very much the issue: the opportunity to feel valuable, or do that which you see as valuable, is just that: an opportunity. We gateway plenty of that with time-commitment.
April 18, 1930: A Day with No News
"Science is another religion" used to seriously bother me, it seemed like the most backward thing possible: science is basically defined as anti-faith, while religion exists solely by means of faith. I've more recently come to realize, though, that there's a certain truth in it (which the 'fighting words' form of 'science is another religion' unfortunately disguises). Namely, everyone has fundamental beliefs on the nature of reality and self, which are largely formed implicitly; and while science claims to have nothing to say on the matter (it doesn't deal with philosophical subjects, after all), in practice, people very often form their fundamental beliefs with scientific concepts, even though science admits it has nothing to say on the matter. So in this sense, people often USE science for the same thing that religion is USED for. So while they differ in internal structure, they're often used for the same thing—often without people realizing it. And, this is unfortunately, because it often leaves people with fundamental beliefs like, "reality is equations," which is mistaking a system of description for the thing being described. Anyway.
Not a flame, but with the changes in angularjs, is still viable to use it, or choose a light library, eg: reactjs?

Useful to see those previous discussions - thanks. There are lots of useful points made there, and yet still no concrete suggestions as to how to make progress. Quite a few people agreed there's a problem, some saying it doesn't matter, others believing it's inevitable.

Is it a problem?

If so, can it be fixed?
I wonder why we haven't seen a hybrid of a 3d printer plus cnc machine? That way you could have a really inexpensive 3d process that is low resolution, then have a cnc cutter that finishes it up. (A cnc machine by itself normally has as a disadvantage of a large amount of waste of input material).

The only "ethical" complaint on that list is the last one. The others are no different than saying "I'm going to shoplift from this store because they play music over the loudspeaker way too loud" instead of, you know, deciding not to shop there.

And I've been an adblock user, but I'll admit that I've stolen content from sites by using adblock.

The "seller" gets to decide the "price", the "buyer" can agree to the "seller's" terms, attempt to negotiate, or decide not to partake in the transaction. The internet at times allows that script to flip.

I'm still not sure where the ethical boundaries lie, even as I've typed this response I can't decide what is right and what is wrong, or to what degree.
Crops up once in a while. Thesis has some merits but ESR's bazaar is more akin to what is happening in web development today rather than at the OS level. Code reuse is really frequent with many package managers for many frameworks. You can start gluing software projects together with pip, npm, gems or whichever gizmo your stack-of-choice presents you with.

I can make whole products just with pip install and editing settings.py.
According to TFA he died not long after. Also, it probably wouldn't have been possible to validate his claims at the time because you'd need another way to measure the current time to within an accuracy of one second (even if that method had to be recalibrated daily).

I think all these issues will be shadowed by the development of mobile networks. You will plug in your phone, listen to spotify and the navigation will tell you about traffic and accidents.

There was a similar raise of concern in Germany, when the insurances bought the emergency system of the autobahn, which resulted as a non-issue, because shortly after everyone had a cellphone.
Erdös started taking benzedrine in 1971, long after he had become one of the most prolific mathematicians of all time with ~40 years of work behind him.
