Cycling. I'm in a club and ride with a group of 20+ people, 4-5 times a week. Most weeks I get at least 150 miles in. I like it for a variety of reasons: it's fun to go fast; it's individual yet also a group activity; there's lots to learn; the mechanical and design aspects of modern cycling are really cool; and it makes me feel great.

As a nerd, I love analyzing my rides. I collect data on the power I deliver to the pedal, my heart rate, and precise GPS data. Everything connects to your phone or cyclocomputer via Bluetooth/ANT+. Services like Strava make it easy to compare your performance to those that you rode with and others that have ridden the same segments. It's just fun!
thank You for the tip - btw. I have also some experience with Meteor.js so I think it can be handy.
Aak HN: Are anyone using Seoprofiler.com?
I want to find good tool for seo. At now I use free trial from Seoprofiler.com, but I want to compare it with other services. What do you think about? Or what seo tools can you recommend?
I don't use maven, but people ask for maven POM for my open source project (http://bayou.io), which makes sense.

So I read about maven; I read, and I read, ... still poop. It seems like a chore to publish to maven central repository. I'm lazy, and not the good kind of lazy, the lazy kind of lazy.

Fortunately there is https://jitpack.io/. Once you published your project on github, you've published it to maven world. That removes one step in the whole publication business which is already too messy.

It is great, I highly recommend it!
I believe the first point is referring to investors who haven't put money into your company. If you aren't currently raising money, you shouldn't waste your time talking to investors. Raising money is a long process, and can't be done part time. Some might argue that meeting for coffee can help build a relationship with an investor, which would result in making raising easier in the future. However, if your company is worth investing in, these relationships shouldn't matter when it comes time to raise.

The second point is referring to your company's current investors. A monthly update let's those who have a vested interest know where you're at currently, and what you may need help with. Investors should be doing everything they can to help a company. That's why this relationship is important.
Writing software is a great intellectual pastime. But it doesn't engage the part of me that is outside of the screen. I find making things from wood does engage that part of me.
If compliance is bare minimum and not enough, what is a comprehensive approach available right now to reasonably protect our sensitive data? The security professionals will tell you Risk Assessments and Pentesting often is the best alternative [1]

Their answer is to specifically switch to Risk Assessment and PenTesting often, which is Requirement 11 and Requirement 12 of PCI. Each one of the bullets written is specifically covered by PCI DSS 3.1, including social engineering/phishing attacks that are provided through security awareness training. They're telling me that compliance is bare minimum, yet their suggestion is to do a subset of compliance. Its circular logic. Since its circular logic and nobody has been able to provide me with a reasonable approachable alternative to going above bare minimum, I claim that compliance is NOT bare minimum, but in fact, due diligence.

Think of a fort. Forts had defined compliance checklists in the old times. In a fort, you go through a security rotation of making sure the pot of boiling oil tips over on time. You practice your smoke signaling so that the appropriate people are notified in the event of a wall breach. Were they spending a majority of their security drills taking half their army, launching it against the fort, fixing what fails, and then doing a risk assessment?

There is no "ISO Standard Sexp" way to have a hash table.

However, Sexps easily support hash tables.

Example:

$ txr -p "(let ((x (hash))) (set [x 'a] 1) (set [x 'b] 2) x)"
#H(() (b 2) (a 1))

Here I have chosen a "hash capital H" syntax for hash tables. The first part () has the hash attributes (there are none, so it's an eql-equality-based hash table, with strong keys and values). Then, entries consisting of two element list pairs give the keys and values.

This hash prefix notation builds on existing Lisp concept of using simple prefixes to distinguish various kinds of objects. In Common Lisp we have:

#(1 2 3) ;; this is a vector
#C(3.0 4.9) ;; this is the complex number 3.0 + 4.9i

The scanning is very simple: you just recognize the prefix like #C( or #( and then recurse into the scanner for list elements that stops at a closing parenthesis.

No whitespace is allowed: it cannot be # (1 2 3) or # C (3.0 4.9).

TXR Lisp above not only reads back the hash notation, so it can be used as a literal, but allows backquoting over it. We can splice keys and values into the syntax to produce a hash table:

$ txr -p "(let ((keys '(a b c)) (vals '(1 2 3)))
^#H(() ,*(zip keys vals)))"
#H(() (c 3) (b 2) (a 1))

Homesteading

I guess I'd say "cool" is in the eye of the beholder, but here is what I really enjoy about it:

- It reduces my dependence on mainstream living.

- It increases my ability to live sustainably.

- It reduces my cost of living immensely which frees up my income for more interesting projects.

- It's incredibly cheap to get into, it costs next to nothing for seeds for a few plants to start small and a handful of chickens cost about $10 each, $30 will buy you a bag of seed that will last months. You can get a reasonably decent chicken coop/hen house for $300(ish). In return: They give you free eggs every day; they'll eat all the bugs eggs and bugs you give them access to; chicken poop is fantastic fertilizer for your lawn/plants. So you only really need to spend what you want to spend. Aside from the cost of the coop, 3 chickens will pay for themselves inside of a month - depending on how many eggs you eat, our 3 hens give us enough eggs that nobody in our extended family needs to buy eggs. We give most of them away and still have enough left for baking and Sunday brunch.

- It helps reinforce my inner MacGyver... which was already strong to begin with.

- It allows me to connect with nature and nurture something that makes a tangible difference in the world. Something we all live for.

- Having animals, plants and trees around you gives you a sense of peace and well-being that can only be purchased by many thousands of dollars in therapy.

- It gives you as much exercise as going to the gym.

- It's immensely satisfying watching it all come together.

- It's the only thing I've found that constantly engages me in the same way programming does. There's always a problem to be solved and there's always many interesting ways to solve it.

- It's nowhere near as much work as everyone said it would be, and the work there is feels like it has real value.

- I get to drive a tractor... albeit a miniature one :P
Unless you run naked it is not free :) At least for me. I spend ~130 euros on running shoes every 4-5 month. Running gear requires investment as well - where I run temperature fluctuates from -12C to +32C so you need proper clothes. Plus, on long runs >20 km I have something to snack.
I love arm and own a cubietruck and a Pi. But my initial hopes of clustering up tons of arms together have been dashed by a very hard dose of reality: the bog-standard core i7 in my Dell M3800 is 50x faster. Try this on your pi in iPython:

import numpy as np
xx = np.random.rand(1000000).reshape((1000, 1000))
%timeit np.linalg.eig(xx)

67 seconds on my RPi B 2, 1.2 seconds on my i7 (admittedly, using MKL optimizations but the factor would still be 15x without it, and arguably, MKL is simply making full use of the Intel instruction set). I get 0.65 on my desktop Precision Xeon. Fully 100x faster.

So yes ARM is great. But let's be honest, Intel is vastly, vastly ahead when it comes to anything that is not a toy.
Yes, same here, though I've been on hiatus since my first child was born six years ago. Once the kids get a bit older I'm going to pick it up again. It's a nice break from my other tech hobbies.

My goal, when starting up again, is to brew English style real-ales, cask-conditioned and everything. There is nowhere around where I live (Minneapolis, MN) that I can get anything like the real thing. I love when I have the opportunity to go to the UK and try the good, local (not the big breweries like Fuller's, I'm talking smaller breweries like Hogsback or even smaller) brews that are kept well by knowing pub-keeps.

A Quick Introduction to LXD
I'm fat (170 cm 102 kg). I go bouldering about 3 times a week.

It's a lot harder when overweight. I haven't progressed as fast as everyone around me, and it is frustrating watching people who aren't overweight climb for the first time because they typically can do things I can't. It's also extremely fun and addicting, and everyone that climbs at my gym tends to be supportive and not at all judgemental.
Could you elaborate on what kind of MAs are you into? I always wanted to try, but I hate the hyper aggressive, macho-alpha-thing attitude that I suspect I'd find in, say, the box gym down the road. Is it even a true stereotype?

The way I understood it was that WAY back(which is just a 5+ years but that's way back in internet years) tons of people used Fedora for development. I seemed to come into the mix about the time things started swinging toward debian/ubuntu and now some other flavours.. My take on this is that change and adoption in the wider developer space has just been increasing like mad.. RedHat is not exactly the platform of the latest and greatest.

Now, I'm not discounting RedHat/Fedora in any way with this but times a change'n. Used to be years old stable releases were the best bet for stability. Now with progress in development and testing how many projects recommend the latest stable release? Other server distros offer recent-ish packages that are very widely used and tested so it's no surprise to me that a lot of development platform usage is trending toward these same distros.
That "analytic" style you suggest is really interesting, too. I'm not sure I have a dog in the ultimate race and I'd love to see both analytic and synthetic styles flourish, but from a mere terminology point of view I'd distinguish between the two languages in means of describing them as "pure" or not.

I also really worry that external proofs will ultimately be neglected in practice. I suppose this is again a "UX of Types" thing, but I'm something of a believer that anything that you do not literally demand of the programmer will eventually be sacrificed.
I would expect to get this kind of impression from an average researcher, because that's what average researchers do (even at AI conferences). What do the top researchers think? Google paid 10M per head for DeepMind guys, explicitly working on AGI. Top researchers at FB works on specifing "Artificial tasks for artificial intelligence" (http://www.iclr.cc/doku.php?id=iclr2015:main#antoine_bordes), basically a better Turing metric. Schmidhuber, one of the original Deep Learning folks, http://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/ has always been very open about pursuing AGI. There is a lot of work on combining graphical models with logic, for example Pedro Domingos' work, the goal is clearly machine reasoning.

Also, I'm sympathetic to Roberto's point about how the brain works; I definitely agree that there is no magic; it might just be a few stupid mathematical tricks layered all the way down.
Except almost more interesting than the chip itself is the PocketChip which lets you easily swap the computers so not only could you upgrade to a faster chip when it comes out, but you could treat them as cartridge. At $9 a pop I could sell a game for the pocketchip for $20 and it just so happens that the game comes on a full blown computer. Combined with an open source design and you could have a number of different computers with different capabilities like star fox back in the day. If you need more of {X} you get the $12 chip, no wifi? $6 chip

This is what I have been on the watch for ever since the raspberry pi compute module came out for much more than I was expecting. The computer is no longer the expensive part, the display is.

Obesity and climbing are a tough combination. I would recommend trying indoor climbing at first and working on routes that don't overhang (wall is <= 90 deg from the angle of the floor). If you work this in with a routine like cycling/runnning/swimming and a proper diet (start eating less carbs unless you plan on working out within the next couple of hours), you can develop a body built for climbing while picking up proper technique at the early stages.

Cub scout Den Leader - Really makes a difference cause I have a few boys whose dad isn't really around, and I get to be their male role model.

Numismatics - Expensive as hell, but can be done on a cheaper scale. I started out broad and have narrowed my focus to Mexican coinage of the first and second republic from a specific mint. The research into it may eventually lead to a book, as virtually no reference material exists at the moment. There is something pretty cool in holding a coin that is a few hundred years old and imagining who held it, the stories it could tell, and viewing the art associated with it.

Crossfit / Olympic Lifting. I started Crossfit, I found I enjoyed it but really sucked at the olympic lifting. Then my box started a class specific on the fundamentals of olympic lifting, now I'm hooked on both. It's good to get out from behind the desk, move and jump and lift. It can be bad though, I've seen bad boxes where one can hurt themselves easily. It really comes down to the coaches and you making smart decisions.

Finally Wood working - I love creating furniture most of all and am at the point where my extended family have started asking me to make furniture pieces for them. There is something about starting out with several pieces of wood and ending up with a finished product that you've made with your own hands... Although I can point out every flaw in every piece I've ever created!
Yes until we get the sub-populations sorted it is going to be very hard to get anywhere with AD. Combine that with poor animal models, late diagnosis, and the need for large and very long human trials it is not surprising almost all pharma companies are avoiding AD.
I used Fedora quite happily on my laptop for years until I bought a Macbook. I also used it as a production system for my projects for almost 10 years. Enjoyed the availability of new versions of packages and don't remember encountering many stability issues. But eventually I got tired of the short support lifecycle and switched to CentOS.
Massage. Both giving and taking. It relaxes me, even when I give one.

Farming, where I grow my own vegetables in a small garden I have in the back of my vacation’s house. I have the opportunity to eat organic vegetables but the real benefit is that I’m exposed to nature and that has a soothing effect in my mind. I also have a small winery where I produce my own wine.

I don’t know if this would apply as a hobby but I also like taking long walks, usually in the city. Although modern cities aren’t too friendly for long walks it’s an opportunity to discover new places and see new things.

Contemporary art. I’m not much of a painter, although I’ve tried it, but I watch the scene closely and like massage it helps calm my mind. The good thing about contemporary art is that it’s pretty much experimental so there are literally hundreds of different venues artists choose to express themselves and that makes it too interesting for me.

And, finally, of course reading. I like historical novels, sci-fi (I doubt there is anyone in here who doesn’t like sci-fi), and mystery novels.

Although I use it exclusively for the past 5 years, I can see at least 2 reasons why others don't:

1) 13-month support per release. i.e. no LTS support

2) Marketing. And by "marketing" I mean lack of marketing from Fedora/RedHat and too much marketing from Cannonical, which has persuaded people that Ubuntu is more stable and user-friendly for "human beings".

For #2 I can say that I find Fedora more stable(by far) and as for user-friendliness I can't see what more Ubuntu(which I've used for 2 years) has to offer.
Reading the article suggests another reason why someone might lose focus, what started out as reporting on research that indicated a change in behavior morphed into a shopping experience.

The procession:

1. Interesting but perhaps uncorroborated research

2. Unsubstantiated possible implications of the uncoroborated research.

3. A list of consumer goods and their marketing claims.

I don't see how you can argue you with a straight (or smug, in your case) face that body cameras are the same as unfiltered, mass, indiscriminate and wholesale video recording of an entire metro area. Body cameras are subject to the visual field of the individual police officer. Body cameras are not wide-lens, 360-degree panoramic, 1080p-4k for each 15-30-60 degree sub-field, that can identify hundreds of people in a given frame. If a police officer's body camera has you in focus, then I would say it is reasonable to assume that they are using their discretion in choosing to interact with you. The same cannot be said for aerial surveillance of the sort in the OP.

(Cue an argument stating that, "Well, the operator of the drone is using their discretion!" Can the operator of the drone put forth a reasonable suspicion for all that they are recording information on?)
I used Fedora for about six months as my desktop OS a couple of years ago. It was my first "real" choice using linux. I started with Ubuntu because it was so popular at the time and I wanted to try something new so I chose Fedora because it had the latest and greatest software. That sounds awesome in theory, but in practice I was constantly having things break when I updated my system. The final straw for me was the kernel modules for virtualbox. I do all my web development in VirtualBox VM's and when I was stuck waiting for Virtual Box to release the new kernel modules so that I could get working again the pain was significant enough to warrant a change. I know that is an issue with Virtual Box and not Fedora, but I never have that problem now that I've moved away from Fedora. Looking back, it could have been possible that if I had built Virtual Box from source instead of installing from yum, I may have been okay, but I was still not that comfortable with linux at the time. I switched to Mint, and have been happy with that distro. I really liked Fedora, but if I'm being honest, I've been happier with mint.
There's no LTS. I like using the same install for 2-3 years.

That's what CentOS is for.
The question is more: why are people moving away from Fedora, when you look at the stats: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Statistics. Fedora 14 was way more used than any other later version.

I think this is related to the brokenness of the system: they pushed early a lot of the debatable technologies (*Kit, NM, systemd) that were not really ready at the time (this is a choice that can make sense) and they argued that the lack of polish was OK for developers, and moved on without "finishing" them. I kind of disagree on this latter point, and this is sometimes way too frustrating (I think the Arch way is more suited on this). And as this is not a rolling release, you need to wait a long time to get the fixes.

Their approach to multimedia, codecs and patents is also one of the more ridiculous of the Linux distributions. And that is pushing also a lot of users out of Fedora, IMHO.
This is the dream... Unfortunately it doesn't seem feasible to set something like this up in my SF apartment so for now it will have to wait.
