If you don't think that the woman you are with has a high enough sex drive for you then you should probably discuss it with her or find someone more compatible with your needs.

If you can't be satisfied with sex with only one woman the you are free to lead a polyamorist lifestyle if you wish.

It's the generalisations across entire genders and the implied sexism that come across as childish. Not to mention your bizarre and horrific attitudes to rape. Do what you like, but women are people with varying tastes and drives just as much as men are. Maybe if you got to know a few you might find this out.

Or it could be that HN values stability, rationality, and sanity. If you read beyond the headline you will find plenty of crazy.

Or more likely, if someone is trying to convince you of their pure altruism - especially the CEO of a huge corporation - they're trying to scam you in some way. This guy is playing with large quantities of other people's money. If I were an investor I would be terrified.

I agree that Santos Dumont is great and a wonderful role model but the way this story is (was?) taught in school in Brazil is misleading. I never even heard of the Wright brothers until I went to live abroad as an adult and was caught completely by surprise.

Mozilla Server Side TLS is that set of agreed upon conventions. The Moz logic is great, since the conventions produce 3 sets of cipher suites with different compatibility / security tradeoffs.

The idea of a library to implement that logic is solid: we made https://www.npmjs.com/package/ssl-rsa-strength as a library implementing Mozilla's logic a little while ago.

Passion is overrated. I've done passion. Passion doesn't care about you. Sometimes the 'fire in the belly' is heartburn.

You do realize there are commercial developer positions where algorithms development is important, yes? You don't need to return to the same job you left.

And even inside of academic research programs, there are research programmers. This is part of the support staff, and not in charge of securing grants; though they may help with writing the grants.

Is there a graduate student adviser you can talk with about post-graduation career plans?
An interesting thing I've noticed about language learning is that it is different from most skills in that the vast majority of its practitioners are basically expert level. Learning a new language is uncommon enough that I rarely met other people who had spent the same amount of time learning the same language as me. So you end up judging yourself by an internal sense of progress, by the things you can and can't do. This is sort of like if you were learning to play the piano and everyone else but a few dabblers were playing at or near the level of Mozart. Also interesting is that language learners are always a master of at least one other language, so you inevitably compare yourself in that way also. It can really skew your expectations.

Also a lot of times in language learning is sort of all our nothing. Comprehension drops very fast or each additional thing you don't understand in a sentence. So progress can feel very slow and then suddenly you have a big jump in understanding.
I have not yet had a chance to use this, but it's the only modern anti-spam software that I am remotely interested in deploying.
You actually can export a selection to the clipboard using command-c. I never use the export button, opting instead to select all with command-a then copy with command-c. Be sure to check out the clipboard tab in preferences. I find the option to trim trailing whitespace helpful, and the comment styles are useful to embed diagrams in source code.

I think the word "poach" accurately reflects the attitude corporations have toward their "human resources", even if it doesn't reflect either the legal or moral reality of the relationship.
The major argument of intelligent design is that everything's so perfectly designed it couldn't have happened by chance. Permitting corruption of that design pretty much eviscerates that primary argument.

A few other products out there apart from YieldStar include LRO and Rent Maximizer.

It's fascinating how much goes into the pricing. It's all based on quite a few variables, ranging from availability (like you mention), competing communities in the area, lease end date optimizations (I don't want >X leases expiring in one month, since that's a lot of work for my leasing staff), time of year, and price history. And on top of this, prices can change daily.

I've had the chance to work on a revenue management product myself--and I can safely say that it's changed my perspective as a renter. There's a lot that can go into the pricing.

Haven't kept up with the Netflix tech blog since they were first looking into HTML5 video, great to hear they've already rolled this out. Good for Linux, too.

That's exactly how it works! Select any number of shapes, hit Cmd-C and it will copy them to the clipboard. You can even set a preference to include a comment tag when copying to the clipboard.

> And another quick thought. I haven't looked closely at your save format, but it'd be great if one could also have periodic autosave to *.txt or even autosave after every change.

As a standard OS X document app, it autosaves are regular intervals that are determined by the OS (in particular, every time you leave the app, as well).

Resellers are a specific economic niche. From a customer perspective CostCo and BestBuy are both just stores. However, BestBuy regularly returns unsold inventory to their suppliers where CostCo generally just has to keep lowering their prices or eat the costs.

Dell does not take unsold inventory risks with Windows so it's simply not their business model. Plenty of small PC manufactures do take this risk by buying windows 10 or 100 packs. But, if suddenly more customers want Home vs Pro edition of windows Dell does not end up with unsold inventory and get forced to offer a discount.

PS: The term Authorized Reseller often muddles the issue in people’s minds, but it’s really a different term. The App store is another great example, Apple does not buy a copy of the app before a customer does.

Edit: As to your comment about bundling. Dell does not manufacture their case screws, but they’re not a case screw reseller.
Mitochondrial DNA needs to be in the mitochondria, presumably because of proximity and/or latency issues. That's why the vast majority of mDNA has moved to the regular DNA or simply disappeared. The stuff that's left behind isn't an accident.

Are you uncertain about whether OpenSSL's APIs are suited to their use cases? Let me tell you, every API that OpenSSL provides is as wrong as it can get. It has the wrongest APIs that have ever been perpetrated.
So the "Picking the right frames" section indicates that the tech is mostly selecting and ordering already existing frames. My question is does it also add frames that it generates? Or is the entire algorithm about selecting the right frames?
I would love to see Chris success, however IMHO the should be sure that their assumption are correct.

There are any evidence that no programmers need/want to program ?

Some of you will say that Excel is programming and it is used every day. Fair enough, but excel is suppose to be extremely narrow in scope, definitely not as big as Eve, and honestly the vast majority of people do not use it to program, they use it as extremely smart database... A crucial different from a programming language/environment...
you can also abuse the syntax in an amusing way

Microsoft Research is strongly expected to have an impact on the business side of things. It just so happens that Microsoft is willing to incubate projects like Midori* that have long runways (decade+) and may completely fail. The hope is that some new emerging tech long plays will become huge business boons (Cortana, Kinect, ..). There's lots of investment in NLP, vision, and OS research over at MSR.

As far as other tech companies with large R&D budgets, look at Google. However, Google's R&D investment areas are different than MSFT's (apparently they don't do OS research):

Why the extra effort on the GNU Project's part to create Guix? What are the advantages over just adopting Nix? Doesn't this mean that everything the Nix project packages has to be repackaged for Guix, and vice-versa?

I believe you're wrong. Take german and french cars. One of them, won't say which, are better designed than the others. To say that a plan is NOT designed because it's flawed is like calling names on a programmer because he uses Java.

You don't refute ID by showing some sub-optimal function in an animal body plan, firstly because ID doesn't claim everything is optimal. ID implies intentionality, but does not and can not explicit intentions. Anyone can make an object that by all means can not be the product of a natural phenomena, and still someone else being able to tell it's design, could not really tell the purpose of it. And, of course, if function is obvious, there's also a better solution.

How long will that be an option? There's a lot of benefits to the refrigerator makers to include IoT access, and cross-marketing opportunities with various brands out there.

One other nice benefit of IPv6? It seems that ISP's are less likely to mess with it. I use a Hurricane Electric tunnel and have not had any issues with YouTube videos on Time Warner, Comcast, or Charter. In the meantime, other customers of at least Time Warner and Comcast have reported lots of issues with network throttling.

> I would have liked to talk about the actual article here,

Oh, but if you know the contents of the article, the irony is absolutely delicious. The main complaint there is Chrome's excessive power usage. Which is hard to argue with, to be honest. But that obnoxious ad was increasing my laptop's power usage from 11W to 17W (and the using 50% of a mobile i7). People living in glass houses, etc.
Whenever I see a weather "app" I always think: "This is really a weather display utility" and then wonder about the quality / longevity of the service it depends on and how the information is provided.

What would interest me is an implementation that allows you to plug in different weather backends, so that having an API key to worldweatheronline, or screen-scraping weather underground, or building a bridge to your serial-port connected weather station all can target the same interface; to provide current conditions/historical conditions, a forecast, etc.

Are there standards for this, or is it mostly ad-hoc, the whim of the sites or commercial services which aggregate information and provide forecasts?
What happened to DomainInferno?
Found a discussion on here about domaininferno.com from 93 days ago.

The site seemed to be going strong one day, then it was a control panel page the next, as if the hosting expired and they didn't renew it.

It was a useful site, and I am always curious what brings about a pulling of the plug on such a new project.

Anyone?

Thanks for any info the community might have.

I'm surprised that privacy wasn't even mentioned here.

(As in: most people switch to DuckDuckGo not to be tracked at all times. And if a browser wants you to sign in, that implies quite some volume of data being collected.)
Oh man, "the left-brainers"? What happened to "Good design makes a product useful/understandable"? If it does either of those things, the effect would be measurable. I don't have any trouble believing that investing time getting the design right translates into better engagement or sales or whatever metric, and you should be able to hold your work up to the light. Writing off a provocative but genuine line of questioning such as jlarocco's is pretty much relegating yourself to the echo chamber.
Chrome changing the rules again? Unpossible! Still, the good news is that people are leaving chrome for ff, safari, new ie, so soon, it will be less of a problem. Hurrah!
Keys to Landing Your First Product Management Job
I've been using Monodraw for several months and really enjoy it. An indispensable feature I don't see mentioned on the landing page is the ability to embed an image in the canvas so that you can "trace" over it. It makes converting an image to ASCII by hand much easier.

> Unreal doesn't use Mono or C#

FROM THE READING
"With Mono for Unreal Engine, you can now use the latest version of C# to write your gameplay code, AI behaviors, UI elements, and more."
Darwinism is also full of "x happend differently than previously thought". Any theory is allowed an must adapt to new data. It's not like you're explaning a dozen of particles to which you add a new one every two decades or so. The domain of the theory shapes the theory.
Guix is really cool, but I wish that it used Common Lido instead of Scheme. Still, much as with Emacs, a Lisp is better than no Lisp.

C# for Unreal Engine

With Mono for Unreal Engine, you can now use the latest version of C# to write your gameplay code, AI behaviors, UI elements, and more.

You have access to the entire range of capabilities of the .NET framework, up to version 4.5. You can even use C# async programming to author your code. Download it and give it a try.
Efficient, but less flexible. And much more difficult to read.

Identifying music genres using Clarifai's deep learning API
Wow, I just had the same issue, and I'm also rarely affected by this stuff..
I haven't read the article, since the page fails for some reason (getting a contact support message).

Despite that, I'm personally quite excited about IoT. It doesn't just have huge potential in bigger manufactoring processes and places where monitoring and decision making can be automated to a large degree, but also personal value in home automation.

I'm currently writing my thesis which focuses on reactive events, in the sense that devices can subscribe to specific events and they also post their own.

For example: the light in the entrance of your house is connected and will transmit the event,

{device: 'Light', location: 'Entrance', value: 'On'}

which your thermostat in your living room has subscribed to. It will then receive this event and based on the value, in this instance 'On', change the room temperature by either raising or decreasing it.

I'm very fond of automating things on my computer, so bringing stuff like this into the real world, in an easy way is one of the goals. After my thesis is done I will open-source it, and it'll hopefully be something that people can actually use.
Manual Memory Management in Go
Learning Scrum is easy, following it not so much
Sitting on my desk right now is a long-handled object with a heavy mass at one end, just like a hammer. But the heavy mass pivots in relation to the handle, the handle is ergonomically crafted in the opposite direction from a hammer, and it's covered in buttons. If you try to evaluate the design as a hammer, it's obviously a terrible design -- but it's a pretty good joystick (good enough for me to use, as the 12th best Descent pilot of all time [0].)

What can we say about a designer from just looking at their design? Not much, if we don't understand what their design is for. If we're guessing at intent or guessing at design constraints, there's very little useful we can say, pro or con.
