I'm surprised that this turned out to be such a vile thing to bring up, judging by how it has been recieved. I always had the impression that places like HN were quick to point out linguistic and grammatical issues, even when they might be viewed as pedantic. And even when the issue that is brought up is subjective, or otherwise based on (linguistic) ideology - like what might be the case in this case. Like for example use of gender-neutral pronouns, which seems to go contrary to normal use, but has some compelling arguments going for them. And although I might be wrong in my assertion that the author shouldn't refer to someone by such a spelling, am I really so pig-headed and obnoxious that I should be punished so harshly, vote-wise? I am not really whining about down votes (they can't be taken back, anyway), but asking if someone should be down voted so much for simply being wrong about something? And being wrong without being willfully ignorant or lazy (like, to give a bland but current example, people who refuse to vaccinate their children in spite of monumental evidence compelling them to do so).

Or is perhaps the issue that the linguistic side-track is about a non-English language, on an English speaking site, and so is judged to be too off topic? In that case all I can say is that is completely on me if only that initial mention was enough to be too off topic. But it is only partly on me when considering the whole discussion, since discussions take on a life on their own. Especially when they turn out to be somewhat controversial. :)

Using you phone and driving safe solution
Hey guys!

I am the CEO of "Ray", a company which developed a smartphone that is intended for the visually impaired community.

One of my goals for this year was to make Ray's technology reachable for everyone in situations where they need it.

My first aim group- Drivers, people who are "blind to the road" but still need to use their phones.

This is what we came up with:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/raygo-drive-use-apps-without-looking-at-phone#home

I would like to hear some comments and what the Tech community thinks of it.

Thanks!

I've spoke to a few people who's jobs are to be on top of these sorts of trades and they said the most interesting part of these trades are that the moves precede the jump in the stock. You look at the market data, the options prices pop before the stock price. This is interesting because the options market is almost by definition slower than stock markets (not just because of the presence of HF firms in the underlying markets, but think of Black-Scholes - one of the inputs to the model is the stock price). Many firms aren't yet prepared for this sort of activity, but they'll plug that hole.
>It makes your feeling seem universal

It universalizes the feeling of the writer, not the reader. Much like religion or the Effective Altruism movement, the rise of homogenized communication (image macros, rage comics, the "that moment when..." style of writing), is yet another way of obtaining the pleasant feeling of subjugating your individuality to the Great Universal. This style of communication emphasizes what is common and easily digestible about an experience, rather than what is unique, particular, peculiar. The fact that the token experience varies from communication to communication - Tinder swipes one moment, getting your class canceled the next - is irrelevant. The only emotion communicated is one that has been felt a million times before by a million people.

The Culture Industry [1] no longer needs to be imposed upon us from above. Our private communications have become the Culture Industry, and we are the army of laborers that keep it running.

Using GopherLua is a pleasant experience. Easily integrated and surprisingly fast. But the documentation is lacking.

If you use it in a web server that executes Lua with requests, take a look at the LState pool pattern[1].

the world outside would be, e.g. system libraries.
Python package X depend on libxml-foo or libmagick-bar-6.6.7..
The future of libraries is confusing because libraries serve multiple purposes, not just warehouses of free books.

They are archives.

They are places where the public can ask for the skills of a professional researcher.

They provide critical civic and informational access to the underprivileged. You can see this mandate in the libraries as free Internet terminals initiatives.

They are community centres with art, fitness classes, galleries, gyms, meeting rooms.

They are daytime shelters for the homeless.

And probably more. As someone with a library degree you'd think I'd know but honestly spent half my degree hearing librarians talk about what is the future of the library without getting to the heart of the matter.

Obviously without books libraries are community centres and so the future of community centres is likely to improve especially as the world urbanizes.

And very likely informational stores will not need to be physically bounded and can be centralized on the Internet (Google) and even so if localized (Yelp, Ancestry.com, Wikitravel). That is just economics.
You might want to look into actual horizontal space. Visually the Japanese and Chinese translations takes a lot more space than the character count would have you believe.

Here's the thing - if you can't make linux work for you at this point in time then you really have no business being in technology, at all.
I dont understand why you cant make lab reports and do mathematics on Linux? Serious scientific papers are written using Latex, not Microsoft Word. And what math software doesnt run on Linux?
true that. And it's worse here in Pakistan.
It seems that you no longer need to have paid anything to use v3. http://www.sublimetext.com/3

I never downloaded or paid anything for v2, but I did download v3 (the official build, from the official site) to give it a try. I didn't end up sticking to it, but I was definitely able to run it without buying a license, albeit with occasional popups.
Hmmm... wonder if this could go even faster using Cluster-on-Die mode in the new E5-2600v3 CPUs (It splits each CPU into 2 NUMA nodes).

Its also worth noting that the fastest memory configuration is 4x16GB DDR4-2133 DIMMs. Gets you the lowest latency and highest bandwidth according to Intel.

Another note, I see the CPU in the writeup reports as "cpu MHz: 1199.953" - have you turned off C-States?
"Investing in expensive data analysis systems may not be as important as investing in ways of measuring teacher effectiveness that can identify the specific supports teachers need to improve their practice"
I didn't really get this statement. You would need a data analysis system for measuring teacher effectiveness as well. They r in no way separate.

The answer is pretty simple and has broader implications than an immediate discussion about managers. The answer is people make more money because they have more leverage.

Managers make more because they're seen as having human leverage.
Start-ups can make more because they have technology leverage (think about this has changed with the advent of cloud computing)
Banks can make more because they have financial leverage.
Etc.

C does have tail call optimization in some instances, that's a function of the compiler and while not all of the compilers can do this some can:

http://ridiculousfish.com/blog/posts/will-it-optimize.html

C the language does not specify how optimizing compilers should handle this situation. -O2 on gcc will get you this optimization (and many more), it will even do TCO on really hard cases, some where FP languages/compilers would fail!
If you think this is a question about human behaviour then you've gone very wrong indeed.
Some things I've done with Apple watch in the last 11 hours
but what's their weisman score?
1 manager, 9 engineers (or more).

The ratio of investment per employee might not align up to the investment in function - the investment might be spread 20%/80% between both functions.

I've worked with (uh, "under" feels insulting) really good managers who truly earn their pay & it has given me a different perspective of what they do to make "things happen".

I've cut that down into literally four levels of management - delegation, negotiation, inspiration & vision. Those who merely delegate are hard to work with, those who negotiate for you are good, those who inspire you to pick up risks are great and those who can see ahead six months to realign/nudge a team to build new skills is just awesome.

On another note though, I'd rather have no management than bad management - there are those who do none of those things, while fulfilling Peter Principle.
I found the evidence in the article to be less than persuasive. The cited study found black to be the most luxurious color in those markets but obviously there is no black phone or black edition variant. I'll also note that Apple has quite often historically used black without being accused of pandering to Asian tastes. No equivalent study for the west is offered as a contrast, probably because gold and silver would also be high on the list. The western designer cited as not liking Apple's turn to gold wears ... a gold (colored) watch.

I couldn't find any compression proxy with man in the middle support so I hacked something together a while ago for personal use:

I also want to build a self-host data completion proxy on my own. But the more web sites support SSL connection, the less impacts on the data completion in the future I think. WWW are moving toward the all encrypted internet, so is this kind of technologies a temporary stuff? Or is there a possibility to reduce data transfers under the SSL protocol?
It's about power, and money is how you keep the score.

Two scenarios:

1. People want to be managers to have more power/control/influence... Then money is needed to keep the score up

2. They happen to become manager, and in a hierarchical structure (company) power/money is how you enforce order
I like that feature list a lot. It's going to be very hard to get those features ready, implemented, and stable by the end of 2017, though. Even assuming no issues with politics or the rest of the standardization process.

Concepts alone is looking like a very complex feature. And I was and under the impression that modules were even less ready. But both are very much needed.

I do know that the committee is planning on putting more experimental library features in the experimental namespace, which should provide a nice middle ground between "not ready for standardization" and "standardized and set in stone".

I believe all of the library work for concepts will be released such a namespace in C++17.
I pretty much just reverse-engineered the Ghost helpers using the theme documentation.
Take a look at https://github.com/kabukky/journey/blob/master/templates/hel... for all helpers that are implemented yet.

I'm not looking to make money off it. It is tempting to expand the functionality into a full CMS, but that should be a task for a fork.
Computers may win at chess but they don't enjoy chess. It may very well be possible to automate most or all of the games that people play and having computer win the games. But people don't just play to win, they play for fun.
Kind of like asking why those engineers still make +100x more than the workers at the factory in China that manufactures their computers and smartphones.

Yeah, a few weeks old news. But yeah, their new frontend rendering 2.0 is in type script (brainfart can't remember name). Update: angularjs 2.0

In general I think Google should work with other browser such as Mozilla and Microsoft if they want a default language. I think Mozilla is firmly with Javascript seeing how they have Brendan Eich (creator of javascript).

I'm also hoping there is a good alternative to javascript supported out of the box from other browsers. No transpiler. Don't get me wrong, I've invested a lot in learning Javascript but I really dislike it when you're writing tons of lines of code. Reason being it's loosely type and dynamic.

edit:

The reason for me thinking Mozilla sticking to javascript. They have lots of project in javascript, PDF renderer, etc.. They also have already allocating resources into Rust. And for a while now Microsoft and Google have offer their take on an alternative javascript (type script & dart). I don't recall Mozilla offering any alternative to javascript.
Are you sure about US registered SIM cards? That would be a big security problem as well.
I wonder how Facebook came up with the 7% fake accounts number.

Certainly social media profits short term from these schemes... as long as they don't get out of control and threaten the entire business model. So the cynic in me suggests Facebook and the like aren't actually interested in eliminating the scams entirely but rather keeping them managed within certain parameters while appearing to be trying to do everything they can to shut them down.
Obsessing about the design of a landing page is like obsessing about the floor layout of a retail space.

Sure, it might be interesting and eventually pleasing to look at, but in the end it is like obsessing about the manufacturer of a specific Coin-Slot-Component of an Arcade-Machine.

And that means it only makes you happy, if happiness is the sound that coins make in your purse. And that is a quite boring and limited outlook on happiness in my opinion.
I'd echo another commenter to optimize for your earnings: pick the one thing out of many that seems to have the highest starting salary, and go for it. That is, if you think you'll be happy with a specialized career...

For myself, I like a lot of different aspects of both software and hardware (but pure software more-so) and I think it's really hard to sell yourself as a generalist in hardware unless you're joining a startup. I successfully advertised myself as a software generalist and that led to a decently paying job after graduation from my CE program where my career trajectory for what I'll be doing in 5 years isn't really fixed. I like FPGAs and embedded RTOSs and radar applications, and I like web apps and game programming and databases, but it scares the crap out of me to think that I'd have a 20-40 year career with a single focus on just one of those (and have to relegate all my alternate interests to side projects, if I can muster the time and energy for them). Some people are born for that, I'm not. Just be sure you know for yourself which you are before making a big decision...

Not always true. If you are a decent engineer consulting/contracting in a field like big data, data warehousing, analytics etc you will make far more than any manager short of C level.

If you are talking about normal salary jobs then it is simple. Managers take on risk and responsibilities. Engineers largely don't. If an engineer screws up the damage is largely minimal. If a manager screws up then serious money can be lost.
Possibly because many (most?, nearly all?) engineers are extremely poor at contract negotiation and believe whatever lies HR tells them about how much money is available and how valuable their contribution is.
On the iPad it's great, while many other responsive sites often look totally dismorphic
Primarily because the people who decide salaries are themselves managers.

I think it is implied that black is a favourite color in the west as well. So black devices is just pandering to everyone, which is why the white iPod was kinda revolutionary colorwise. Everybody else was doing black or dark devices and here comes Apple with signature white earphones and device.

A better question might be, "What country do you come from where you don't know how much health insurance in the US costs."

But thank you for the numbers. An extra 9K a year doesn't really sound that much to pay for experience but I guess penny pinching is the order of the day for too many managers.

Literally about 4 weeks from finishing my job and hitting the open road / seas. It's taken me several years to do it but the timing this year has kind of worked out (I also turned 30 this year).

The Why?

I am basically just "surviving" month to month paying rent, seeing same people, doing same things and not really having any new experiences. At 30, this is my last chance to qualify for various visa options which would allow work in other countries. I also recently finished paying off all my college loans etc.

The how:

I finish my job on the 28th May (also move out of my place that day) and will be joining friends for a few weeks of sailing and then heading for Asia for summer and Canada for winter.

Financially speaking it's going to be tough I am leaving a well-paid permanent role but not a huge amount of savings (but no debts). The one plus side is the average gap year costs about £5k including flights and insurance and I am well above that amount so happy.

Am I scared? Yes of cause, but I have done several multi-week trips in Europe and lived abroad before and work is only ever a plane ride away. I am actually pretty happy to be doing bar work or working retail and having some different experiences to being stuck in-front of a keyboard.

It's going to be an adventure regardless and a change I need!
Even within google, Dart is only used in the Dart team...

This is old news.
It seems that quite many people have "stumbled" on their own landing pages.
I don't have any meaningful data to estimate. Sublimetext is used in countless videos/webcasts, some of them by Google or Microsoft.

A quick google search brings the post [http://blog.leanpub.com/2014/01/leanpub-ebook-sales-guest-po...] with sales numbers of a book about Sublime text I never even heard of. 1000 sales of a book about a text editor! My best guess would be that the text editor itself sold about a couple orders of magnitude more copies.
I totally understand everything you've just said. That's fine.

What I'm trying to get at is how uncomfortable I am with the way the brand is being positioned. I'll pay top dollar/pound for quality/best-in-class/design products.

I won't pay to be a part of some luxury Apple branding exercise. And that's what this feels like.

I'm arguing this on a branding level. Sure, I can go an buy the $299 whatever-metal version of a Watch, and someone else can go buy the $10,000 version.

That's great. Everyone wins. In my view the brand suffers.

It becomes LESS cool.

The person paying $10,000 isn't paying for a chronological masterpiece ... a technical tour-de-force ... THAT is cool.

The person paying $10,000 is paying for a bejewelled version of what everyone else has. Sorry, boring and tacky and unexciting and has been done to death already by customizers. I don't want to be associated with that.

I thought Apple were "designed by Apple in California". Sounds like it might as well be "designed by Apple in Bangkok".

But it's cool, it's not important, I get that I'm just pissing in the wind really :) But I thought this kind of stuff was important to Apple. Guess it's not.
Cracking head to name your baby? Here is the solution
This is what is called API and ABI stability. Most well-known C and C++ libraries have been API and ABI stable for years.

In practice, this hasn't been a problem for my C++ projects for years, except on OS X where there have been too many changes in a couple of years (gcc -> gcc-llvm -> clang, libstdc++ -> libc++).
This blank statement is wrong for most companies. The salaries are fixed within levels that are decided by HR based on the market e.g.

It's not illegal; that's incorrect.

The type of franchise that requires universal buildout (with a number of caveats) is a cable franchise, with the intention that everyone has access to TV services, not broadband. And the standards for new entrants into a cable franchise are generally less onerous (or provide time to get to universal coverage).
Floor traders are not there to take the other side of a trade. The minute your market maker completed his option trade he hedged it by buying or shorting shares at the equiv delta risk. This is one reason spreads widen on option sales when the market gets busy, and the reason there is put side volatility skew. In both cases it's covering the risk that the price will move before they can hedge their position.
There's a few problems with this:

* It only works in Linux, not Windows or Mac OS X.

* You need additional work to have it work in more distributions

* Linux package file formats are not distribution neutral, there's no "package.json" which is understood by every package manager

I think C++ needs an OS neutral package management system.
> If an engineer screws up the damage is largely minimal.
> If a manager screws up then serious money can be lost.

You're being downvoted, which is a shame, because you're absolutely right. You can screw up much bigger when you can cause 5 engineers to screw up in addition to pissing their expensive salaries up the wall.

And generally the manager will be held accountable, where the engineers will not, because they were just following orders.
Typescript is JavaScript with some minimal annotations.
I think that's point. I've never associated Apple as a "luxury" brand.

Luxury in my mind is never necessarily the best. I know that. Whereas before I almost might have automatically seen Apple as the best.

So for Apple to want to be seen as Luxury risks bringing baggage to their brand.

But again, who cares. They don't serve me as a single individual. Have a good one, cheers.
