Are you implying that “The Question Ordinaire,” didn't have permanent effects?

I doubt that, as it looks fairly similar to what a rack does (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_(torture))
There was a recent reminder by Sam Altman about the guideline on avoiding negativity on Hacker News[1]. While I agree with the importance of 'checking one's privilege', I feel like calling someone a "rich ass spoiled kid" for sharing an insightful, topically relevant, and inspiring story of conquering their own mental health issues is in violation of this.

Also, since OP mentioned they are now receiving treatment for ADHD, its insulting to insinuate that you don't think they are capable of handling technology operations.

Yes, most of us here are quite privileged. Even homeless people in first-world countries are privileged compared to many living in third-world countries, and I think it's important that we acknowledge it. But your attitude does not help make this community a better place.

I don't think that it's ironic that Gallipoli and WW1 in general is what led to Australia and New Zealand starting to view themselves as distinct from the "Home Country" - our experiences in WW1 made it very clear that England didn't consider us colonials to be English, even if we still did at the time.
Well it was. It's been hijacked by patriots and nationalists over the last 30-40 years. It's also been propaganised through a national school curriculum for the last 20 years. It's at the point where criticism of anything to do with ANZAC Day is treated with contempt and outrage.
I think that your very valid point IS the critique. Having power grids "last centuries" was a noble endeavor, however, it is now a hinderance.

The idea that customers should care about the utility company's long term investment, in their 100 year grid is not a good one. Consumers shouldn't have to care about a companies long term investment "paying off". All that means for the company is that their investment failed, and they need to try again.
Darcs 2.10.0 release
Lay off the accusations. 1. I'm a founder of that company and this is apart of a much larger project i'm releasing in a few months. 2. That command line does not act like a normal unix tool and will make your life a living hell because QT has some horrid misunderstanding of what constitutes a newline, outputting format characters, and incorrect streams (stdout is used for errors).

P.S. I do kernel development on FreeBSD in my spare time. I know a little bit about unix, ya know?
I like that tool very much, but it would be nice to see the generated CSS styles displayed separately from the HTML.

By this, I mean generating the following individually:
1) the HTML with a class applied to a sample element to be centered
2) the separate CSS for that particular class selector

This is just a little nitpick based on my preference for avoiding inline styles; overall, nice work!
I think this will have a lot of difficulty remaining faithful to spirit of the original book series.

The original Foundation Trilogy stories take place across quite a few time periods. This would require a different cast for each story within the books. The stories are also focused on dialogue and characterization plays a minor role. Even the space battles are barely described at all, as the main focus of the book is on the broad plot lines created by the concept of psychohistory. There are few female characters and I don't recall any sex in the original series at all (though there was some in the weaker 4th and 5th novels written decades later).

If they are going to try to make this into a typical HBO show I'd expect the main focus to be on the Mule plotline from book 2, the second foundation plotline from book 3, and then the Trevize plot from books 4 and 5 which seems most amenable to TV adaptation.
And it's ok. We need much more glue code coders than compression algorithm coders, right?
What I like about Gallipoli is how these days it serves as a national memorial for three nations - Australia, New Zealand, and Turkey - and how forgiving the Turkish are and were of people who had come as invaders.

I've been trying to learn swimming. You can research the hell out of swimming techniques and apply it. No matter how good you are you can still get better.

Show HN: Sprint feedback tool we use at the end of our sprints (Meteor)
Compared to the rest of the CSS spec, I'd say so. It certainly solves the problem much better, though.
IMHO constraint systems like GSS (http://gridstylesheets.org/) handle centering in a much cleaner way. Pity that approach hasn't gotten any traction (though some people smarter than me say it's a bad idea, so who knows what the right answer is...)
Doesn't work with JavaScript disabled. =P
No I didn't, but then I do have to say it's not a huge sample size (6 people altogether 3 from Grande Ecoles, 2 from Supinfo, 1 EPITA) but the effect of lack of actual practical experience and slowness due to that was flagrant for the Grandes Ecoles.

It was for Rails web application which I have to say requires somewhat less pure CS theory (although it is very useful to reason with).
You can track anywhere. JIRA is good. Google Docs works too. UserVoice if you want it public. Record customer contact information at all times so you can follow up.

The logout page is a good place to ask as well.

Most customers get frustrated when requests go into the trash can. It is important to show progress against requests. Simply referring to the request system in feature announcements is sufficient. "We had 18 requests for FizzBuzz. After talking further with customers, we designed..."
> Let's encourage this type of behavior.

Or let's encourage using the right tools for the right applications. Let's encourage speed and simplicity as desirable goals again. Let's not do it the Google Blogger way, let's not create services that take several seconds to display few lines of text. There's a great framework for that, it's called HTML.

> Being an adult. Really, do you require a baby sitter to keep you busy?

Please don't be personally rude on HN.
No, if you don't have a defined height you will need to either use "display: table", the table-cell technique, or flexbox. When I told the site that I had a defined height, however, it still suggested the table-cell trick, which was not the optimal solution because of the extra markup required.

In my experience, most of the time when I do want to center something vertically, I have a defined height (which can be a percentage!), so absolute centering is the solution of choice.
I was struggling with this yesterday
That's exactly the purpose one shouldn't use Angular for.
It's not immediately clear to me why those carrying out the study seem to interpret their results as justification for policy making and intervention. Serious question, is it not possible that we observe a cause and effect here? Ie. higher mental capacity leads to doing better in life?
It's pretty significant that this battle also served as the pre-cursor to the current, secular republic of Turkey.
yes and today a certain PM claimed they were "sons of ANZAC" which formally puts these two PMs in the position of the bumbling british aristocrats who caused so much death
It's based on the firebase API, that's what's probably slow.
"No more of this, please" means not merely in this thread, but on Hacker News in general.
Congratulations on your journey with the company thus far. I simply don't understand why a randomly-dropped plug for said company is at all cogent in the documentation for a library that is released under what seems to be your personal github and has no other visible attachment to said company. But I'm not accusing you of anything - I mentioned it because it struck me as out-of-place and potentially PR-opportunistic, if that's not the case I apologize. From one founder to another: perhaps next time consider taking the less-abrasive approach to defending your product to avoid alienating your (potential) user base? Your hostility ends up doing the opposite of assuaging my concerns. Good luck.

Edited due to parent edit: I'm...happy for you that you develop on the FreeBSD kernel? I'm also not sure how that is relevant to the discussion of why this tool should be used over any other of the dozens of headless toolkits and wrappers out there - and your readme certainly doesn't do any work to convince me to care about your implementation over any existing solution. You're surprisingly defensive for someone claiming to be confident in their development skills, I'm not your enemy here - I was, until this exchange, a potential user (and may yet be, I'm not one to pass over a good tool simply for personal reasons).

just back from pt, first article read - time to do some work.
You know what "reps" are, right? ;)
My statement was conceptual. Boolos himself suggests that we ask if X is random to get to a solution (though in a more complex iff statement). But being able to ask if a source is random seems unreasonable, though without that capability I can't say if there is a solution.
I can't think of a technology that has both saved and wasted more of my time than CSS.
Here is a Hacker News clone done with Vue:

Pretty awesome. The energy companies would turn from energy producers to energy storage and distribution. Really exciting indeed! =)
But there is no software just for features tracking, right?
Would have been great to have this when I was first learning CSS. Problems like this one are what made me so reluctant to touch frontend for a long time.
I use UserVoice [1]. They used to have a free tier, but it looks like they don't anymore. I must have a grandfathered account.

Costco is optimized to sell you stuff in large quantities each time you visit the store. They explicitly trade convenience (i.e., you can't buy a single roll of paper towels there) for extremely low prices.

If you want a store that offers a nicer, more convenient shopping experience (along with significantly higher prices), there are plenty of alternatives available to you.
You completely miss the point people using Duck Duck go can use g! and do a Google search. https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html

More importantly Duck Duck Go is actually considered worse than Google even by many people that use Duck Duck Go so this is considered a significant feature. Granted, it's debatable how much worse but Bing / Duck Duck go are viewed as competitive search engines not better search engines. Plenty of people are doing regular head to head comparisons with people using different search engines for the same query if they can't find it on one they use the other. After a while the 'better' engine generally becomes their dealt.

Windows on the other hand has a lot of inertia due to third part integration. For example there is a much smaller selection of games on OS X than windows which creates a feedback loop. There is no way OS X could hit 50% market share in 3 years let alone a brand new OS starting from scratch, but search has seen massive swings in market share fairly recently.

PS: The g! feature is also great for fine tuning their search engine. Providing a listing of every pain point when people gave up.
> Does it feel weird to write code that's being used to track people?

Does it feel weird to design mechanical implements designed for the sole purpose of destroying human life?

I'm not speaking of drones and missiles, mind you; I'm speaking of small arms, the very same tools so staunchly defended by libertarian lovers of the Second Amendment everywhere.

There are plenty of valid reasons to want to track someone over a network like Tor, just as there are insidious reasons. E.g. all the reasons that make legal, warrant-protected wiretaps a legitimate function of governments worldwide.

But even if there weren't valid reasons, other countries will develop (or already have) similar capabilities, so making DARPA your line in the sand for this is missing the point anyways.
For 2 months now, an alarm clock program alerts me every hour to do 1-2 minutes of quick but high intensity exercises. That's every hour. The benefits are amazing. I'm amazed at how many of my problems went away. I now get to sleep on time, wake up feeling rested, do not toss and turn during sleep, have a healthy appetite, gained muscle, hair loss stopped, and I cut down on procrastinating and my focus has drastically increased. Who knows how many pills I would have been prescribed had I told my doctor about my problems.

I saw most results within 24 hours, others after only 4 days.
The perfect indictment of Web development these days.
You can certainly use JIRA just for feature tracking if you like - it even lets you let your customers view progress/comment on the issues themselves
In this context, that domain name seems fitting...
And its better ... how?
I've understood that Flexbox is what you should use for 'small layout' (controls, etc) but ultimately we should be using the new CSS grid module for 'large layout' (pages).

I think it's the firebase api that's slowing everything down.

The Firebase API is pretty quick after the initial connection, here's an un-optimised React version (i.e. no shouldComponentUpdate hooks) which uses the Firebase API, for comparison: http://insin.github.io/react-hn
Probably because the angular site is using a third party API to get the comments and stories?

I think I've taken it as a given that any website that uses XHR to load parts of pages will necessarily be slow because of all the rest of the bloat (e.g. jQuery + 10 plugins + Angular) required to make the UI actually work while still keeping the code somewhat readable to the programmers. Basic HTML Gmail is also a ton faster than the normal version ...

You can however use CSS transitions effectively to make the user think the page is faster. Just have some action flying around (it's offloaded to the GPU if you're doing it "right") while things are being processed and it won't "count" towards the user's perception of page load speed.

e.g. Your HTML-only page loads in 200ms, your XHR-/Angular/jQueryified version loads in 1000ms, but you want the user to use and like the latter. Make the page dance around for the first 900 ms, and the user will "feel" that your new version loads in 100 ms. You don't want to push this "effective loading speed" all the way to 0 or else the user will become aware of your trick. Keep it at a perceptual minimum and the user will be like "Woah!"
Yes, but you have to pay whole product JIRA to use it. Do they have option to embed it to my website?
That's what I need.
Sure, but in a military operation there's no substitute for planning and coordination, and execution. The plan will always need to change, and you can find a dozen generals with famous quotes that will back that up. But the solution after the plan breaks down isn't no plan, it's the next plan.

Only at the most tactical level can you get by with just your wits and the gear you have with you, everything else needs good planning of some sort.
Given a choice between exercise with questionable effectiveness and lots of good side effects, and anti-depressant drugs with questionable effectiveness and lots of negative side effects, I'd certainly try exercise, particularly in less-severe cases, where anti-depressant drugs do no better than a placebo.

As I get older, I'm definitely beginning to notice some ADHD symptoms (inability to concentrate at work, can't fall asleep without some kind of white noise, don't know what to do with myself at home after work, etc). I'm also discovering that the only things that help to center me are exercise and coffee.

I use a Trello board for tracking feature requests and my current roadmap. Support requests come in both via email and an in-app support form.
Is everyone missing the point of this? It's a proof-of-concept app using an alpha[1] framework that, in a year or two, will likely be one of the dominant frameworks on the web. I for one find real examples like this much more useful than underwhelming "Todo"[2] examples. Yes, it's slow. Yes, it has lots of bugs but hell, at least the author is giving it a shot. I just hope they write a decent blog post about it with some of the lessons learned.

I love Darcs. And I really miss it now that I am effectively forced to use git in order to take advantage of GitHub. Not that git is bad, it is technically very sound. Its just that usability-wise Darcs wins hands down.
People with depression have choices. People with OCD have choices. People with diabetes have choices. People with schizophrenia have choices. Having choices doesn't disqualify something from being a medical condition.
The root of the problem here is storage is more expensive than production.

Hmm, that http://flexboxin5.com/ site didn't work in Chrome at all. Claimed it was going to resize when I pressed resize it early on and did nothing.
The mere fact that a site like this can exist and not be a joke is proof that CSS is still badly broken. I should be able to center things by writing:

foo {
align: center;
valign: center;

How did you integrate trello with in-app support form? Using API?
This is a great example why you shouldn't use a client-heavy stack for a site like HN. You could, in theory, make something that's a bit better than original HN, but it requires way more work and/or quite possibly something else than Angular.

It costs at least some $400/kWh for battery storage. That amounts to $12k dollars for each house for supplying average consumption; that's a huge cost already. If you want (a) to be false, I guess you need to multiply that by two at least. It just doesn't make sense to make each house do it individually, the grid is a wonderful technology that reduces this risks, smooths consumption and provides storage/generation economies of scale. It just doesn't make sense to abolish it entirely for all but the most isolated places.
- Weightlifting following a 5x5 program (ideally with a buddy) isn't boring because the weight commands 110% of your attention or it will fall on you

- Cycling on my trainer at a low level of exertion (Zone 2) while watching a good show isn't boring

- Intramural-type team vs. team sports are usually not boring. Caveat, if you aren't in shape you will be too exhausted to be having fun, but if you stick it out for a little while and get into shape it becomes more fun
It seems to me like a static, form-driven server application such as HN is a pretty bad example for AngularJS, then.
It is a mistake to assume a browser supports javascript.

Angular/meteor/etc do not generate sane output, as throwing up what is essentially an empty body tag (literally so, in some cases) is not only totally unusable outside the one use-case you have planned for, the page being generated is equivalent to a server error.

The correct solution, of course, is to render the page server side (and cache it, if you're sane), and progressively enhance any features such as XHR-style loading. Some comments later in this thread have mentioned that this might be an upcoming feature in the near future, which is great.

Without server-side rendering? That is still no excuse to serve up an empty page. Put some sort of fallback there, or a link to some alternative page. At a minimum, at least have a proper error message about how your site only only works in browsers that support javascript.

FWIW, that narrative you hold for SnapChat doesn't actually match up with the facts. They first floated the idea in April 2011, and launched the product in June 2011. [1] It was not funded until May 2012, with the first meeting with VCs in March 2012. At the time of funding, they had about 100,000 users and served roughly 25 images/sec [2].

Now, I'm not personally a SnapChat user/employee/investor, and I think some of the other information that has come to light about Evan Spiegel and SnapChat's business practices is pretty reprehensible. But the narrative that actually fits the facts is a much more straightforward one: a driven entrepreneur builds a product with the help of his buddies, convinces a critical mass of people to use it, gets it growing fast, and then VC piles in hoping to get a piece of the next big thing. No sinister conspiracies.

I doubt that will change. If you want companies to have enormous amounts of idle capacity waiting around for a cloudy day then you have to make sure they can make money.

It is an interesting conundrum. I'm looking forward to whole house inverters with decent battery packs to take me completely off grid. At that point a simple fuel cell tied to the gas line to top off the battery pack when low on energy and you're good to go.

you still aren't getting it though. drugs that cause huge dopamine release like opiates or meth are literally tampering with your motivational/reward system directly, in a way that's much more harmful than other addictions. you can't will yourself out of a fundamental change to your intrinsic will system. you can't say that people have to "take responsibility" and "not blame some chemical". the chemical is literally altering the motivational behavior of the person. this is not something the person can solve themselves. they should not be expected to be able to.

let's say you can place everything you've felt in life on a scale of good to bad feelings from -10 to 10. shooting heroin is like suddenly having an experience rated at 100 on that same scale. the entire scale has permanently shifted. everything else in your life has completely paled in comparison to that experience whether you like it or not. you will have to deal with that changed perspective for the rest of your life.
Why aren't they connected? Is it just too expensive? Seems like it would be a big advantage to do so.
