The utility of this report is in having all of this raw data condensed into a single, authoritative entity. Think of it as detailed notes from your very attentive classmate. You may have absorbed most of the information by osmosis. But having the notes makes it a lot easier to study when finals arrive.
That's the easiest way to deal with it. If you can remember that (which is not hard), and where one type of account falls on the left/right spectrum (which isn't hard either, pick whichever you like), then you can figure out the rest.

Until you're used to these two words and they speak for themselves, assigning any other meaning tends to lead to more confusion than anything else.
Just a note, you can simplify your workflow even further by using `hub pull-request` . If your PR consists of a single commit, it'll even pre-populate the PR description for you (if not, it helpfully lists the commits included in the PR in the comments of the PR/commit message).

It's funny, but I really miss group chat in the late 90's on Yahoo Messenger, with audio... I don't think video works as well with 10+ people, but audio was pretty fun.

I think that WebRTC will deliver a lot of opportunities in that arena.

I don't think news feeds are going away, and I think that Twitter (if they can clean out the bot accounts) is one of the better resources in that gateway.

As to messenger systems... no idea... right now it kind of sucks... it was bad enough with yahoo, icq, aol, and msn messenger... now it's even more networks with even more disconnect outside facebook, and fb's app is about as invasive as it gets in terms of device privacy.
I love the idea, so I immediately gave it a shot.

> "We read more quickly when lines are longer, but only to a point. When lines are too long, it becomes taxing to move your eyes from the end of one to the start of the next. We read more efficiently when text is arranged in a single column rather than multiple columns or sections. The font, color, and size of text can all act in tandem to make our reading experience easier or more difficult. And while these variables surely exist on paper just as they do on-screen, the range of formats and layouts online is far greater than it is in print. Online, you can find yourself transitioning to entirely new layouts from moment to moment, and, each time you do so, your eyes and your reading approach need to adjust. Each adjustment, in turn, takes mental and physical energy."

Huh, I never thought of considering changing typography a context switch[0], but it makes perfect sense. I guess that's why I like using the Readable bookmarklet to standardise the typography of any article I read.

http://readable.tastefulwords.com/

It's pretty easy to tweak too: I keep changing fonts every now and then, whenever I find one that is more easy on the eyes. By now I have six different versions bookmarked:

- two for print (Serif, small & large print)

- two for reading during the day (Sans, black text on white background, different font sizes)

- two for reading in the evening/at night (Sans, light grey text on dark grey background, different font sizes)

[0]: Outside of computer science, "context switch" has been adopted in the Interaction Design community (at least the one I'm in) to apply to humans too - a well-structured UI requires less context switches of its user. It's a pretty spot-on analogy in many situations.
No need to Google for it, because everybody has it in his bookmarks.

Elusive Algorithms – Parallel Scan
You could make the hash, say, 2 bytes long. That would allow for up to 65536 servers.

Say you have 8 servers at present, you'd allocate 8192 sequential keys to each server.

If you need more capacity, use 16 servers instead, and move half the files from each server to the corresponding new server.

Thus exactly half the data is moved each time the number of servers is doubled or halved.

The parent post is only about "Crimes against women". Your link is about general crimes, oh great skeptic.

I have to merge all my answers here because HN (suprise ! suprise!) prevent answering questions, because apparently reality is does not fit the propaganda you've all been fed.

@DanBC:

I don't give a shit. HN like is filled with bigots (if comments here are any proof). India does have crime statistics online: http://ncrb.gov.in/ .

Now who's the one making up things ?

@rimantas:

More atrocity literature!

To answer your question. Yes (well atleast nearly). It remains better than Sweden at any rate.

There really hasn't been much by way of statistics for the former, only conjecture by media outlets which are inherently biased.

Assuming less adversarial reporting rates (and not adding the abortion counts in the US) still makes it comparable to that in the US.

If you do add the abortion counts (for I'm sure you're as much pro-life as you are anti-India) the comparison will tilt more towards India again.

The linked article quotes some research which is highly dubious. Using Google trends data [1] for anything other than the start of an analysis seems a little dangerous.

Facebook won the social network land-grab and it will be difficult for anyone to assail their stronghold. I hope someone does, but it's probably going to take a lot of money and time.

In this age of GitHub being huge, and GitLab being the purely open-source choice, this can't really end well for SF.

They really really need to up their game if they want to stay relevant. Most of the stuff I find pointing me to SF these days is usually abandoned (GIMP and Pidgin are probably notable exception).
How would one account for differences in reporting rates? The book you cite seems completely unrelated to this claim. I.e., citation needed.

Anecdotally, this seems insane to me. In 2 years in India I observed more violent eve teasing than in 30 years in the US. Just talking to women, you get wildly different stories in both places - in the US it's "someone unattractive asked me out and I felt uncomfortable, almost like a rape", whereas in India it's "meh, he just grabbed my ass and walked off, no biggie".

Now it could be the case that upper class Indians (the main folks I dealt with) are just far more violent than middle class Americans, and that the masses of poor Indians are vastly more peaceful than their upper class compatriots. But that does seem a bit unlikely to me.

Further anecdote: in the US, reporters have a hard time finding rape poster girls who aren't blatantly making stuff up (e.g. mattress girl, duke stripper or rolling stone girl). In India, most of the rape poster girls are dead or badly injured.
One of my favorite books is "Algebraic Models For Accounting Systems" -- http://www.amazon.com/Algebraic-Models-For-Accounting-System...

Fundamentally this book is about the application of abstract algebra to the analysis of accounting systems.

Add in APL or J (or Haskell if you must) by way of "Algebra: An Algorithmic Treatment" (http://www.amazon.com/Algebra-algorithmic-treatment-Kenneth-...), and you build a quite rigorous proof-based accounting system.
I've been wondering about the same thing recently too. Meanwhile, there is an article that explains how Haskell typeclasses[1] are implemented, or how they conceptually work:

I stopped two years ago. As far as I am aware I'm not missing much.

I did have a lot of old friends on FB, but I didn't stay in contact with them in real life. I was just lazily snooping on their lives, without giving anything in return.

To be completely honest, I don't have space or time for them in my real life. It isn't because I didn't like them anymore, it was simply that I didn't have the time or energy to stay in proper contact. I had also moved away.

I had the realisation that some people are supposed to drift apart. The people who are important to you will remain in contact with, and it doesn't need Facebook spying on that friendship to enable it to keep functioning.

New Jersey Drops Investigation into Tidbit
At MaxwellHealth we've hired 5 graduates from the general assembly intensive program, 2 for QA and 3 for Dev. The one take away I've had is that they all are coming with a baseline of knowledge that could let them contribute on day one.

For these 5 women, that was in addition to the soft skills necessary to succeed which I assume they all had before going into the program. I absolutely would hire them all again. We have interviewed several more from that program as well as other bootcamps who didn't exhibit those soft skills (bad attitudes, unable to communicate clearly what they worked on).

Most bootcamps have a group project, this for me is the key to whether they will be successful on your team. The group project shows from experience some of the challenges on working on a team - merge conflicts,how they manage time and how they work with others (who might not be on the same level or who have a bad attitude). One of our developers had worked on a team that had a team member drop out of the program mid way through their project. We happened to meet her teammate who told us that not only did they get it out on time but she had stepped up big time and made sure that all the features got out the door.

TL/DR : Hired 5 awesome women through General Assembly and would hire them all again.
Well, they'll go digital or they'll go bankrupt, same as with encyclopedias. It's just shocking how far they still have to go before they hit bottom ad spend.

FB is here to stay until there's a new round of technology and FB doesn't move quickly enough to capitalise on it. I'm guessing that won't happen for at least another five years.

FB is basically AOL, which was basically CompuServe, which was a combination of DEC networking and BBS culture. (Kind of, if you squint hard and wave your hands around in the right way.)

There is always niche for this kind of all-in-one social/messaging/groups/etc. It's a very big and profitable niche, and someone always owns it. But the incumbents change over time, and there are disruptions whenever the underlying technology changes.

FB is likely a safe bet until something new appears. The obvious near-term move is 3D social/gaming, which is why FB bought Oculus. Longer terms that may not be enough, because it's not obvious head-mounted 3D VR is going to be pleasant and friction-free enough for everyday casual use.

My guess is the something new will have strong elements of AI and social and perhaps VR too - but I could be wrong about that.
Facebook is already two years ahead of the analysis in this article. They spun off messenger and groups into their own apps because they saw the monolithic approach was no longer working.
New Bitcoin Digital Marketing Agency – BlackbitBooks
GIMP-Win project wasn’t hijacked, just abandoned
The Kafka ecosystem at LinkedIn processes nearly a trillion messages per day, which amounts to receiving over 10 million messages per second at the busiest times of day. The Bitcoin blockchain, by comparison, can handle 7 transactions per second.
Yep. Things helped me is to set some boundaries to ensure I do get some downtime. Also I select work that is more time flexible. Eg I do marketing so I prefer to get strategy/advertising/lead generation type gigs where I can work evening hours and not have to be on call. I avoid website development work, as much as I like that, it requires me to project mange people and be on call at short notice. Not sure how that translates in developer world, but it seems scope creep is the bigger issue for you, not the original job. A bit part is probably increasing the billing at a rate that motivates you for every extra component the client adds. It will also make them think about what they ask for more carefully than clients who just add random ideas.
Types are types. Let's take a type system with generics but no single inheritance.

Traits are properties that types can have, like Java interfaces though more powerful.

Many traits can be used as types to form a vtable dispatch. For example, Box<Send> uses the trait `Send` here as a type. Objects of type `Send` are "unsized" and must be held behind a pointer (which becomes a fat pointer).
You remind me of digital tools that are just coming into existence. Distributed autonomous corporations could organize most of the digital communication functions that the social media bubble is currently exploring. So, ethereum, Turing complete blockchains, oracles and decentralized decision making. Consensus over conceit.
I think linkedin's groups solve it a bit better. The problem with circles is that the people in a given circle don't necessarily have me in a circle. I can really just group the input feed, not the output feed. It's more consumption than distribution focused.

Hiring isn't just about how people code. Alot of times you run into other disconnected problems, like team members not getting along, people working in opposite directions, and so on.

I would say that mobile is declining because land lines basically don't exist anymore, so we can just say phone instead of mobile phone.

The fact that 1.5 billion people use Facebook kind of suggests that you are wrong.
So the bad news is that it is difficult to stop using Facebook. They let me export my data, but not birthdays of my friends list. I had to break the list down into family, friends, actual friends, then check each of their pages to update my address book. I had to disconnect the few apps that were attached which was easy for me as I avoided facebooks apps like the plague, but imagine losing all of your farm animals or whatever it is that people use the games for. Now that SMS is free and my carrier provides me a softphone for my PC and tablet for free, I have reverted to SMS (disabling iMessage is a PITA). Events I handle with my calendar app / email invites which hasn't been ideal, but since some of my friends refuse to use Facebook, it never was either.

Anyway, just some of my experience so far. At least they allow me to export my data, unlike Yelp bookmarks. I kept my usage of Facebook extremely light, but this has taken a lot of my spare time. Few people will go through this effort.

Before you start using a SaaS solution, figure out how you can stop using it.
> Actually I don't see how being a manager at bigco or being a wealthy student in an expensive school with lots of means helps you bootstrap a company on a shoestring.

I don't know either about the wealthy students, but being a manager at a bigco surely must help you to get customers with the network they have, especially if their startups are in a related field.
As I mentioned previously, I intended to sign on the kickstarter campaign for the mini-cluster of 4 64-core boards. I didn't change my mind until very late into the campaign when it became clear to me that the 64-core version wasn't likely to happen. Since that time I've never seen any 64-core boards or eLink interconnected 16-core clusters for sale.

As far as major promises did the Parallella campaign NOT live up to (excluding the 64-core version), as far as I know it's still possible to connect multiple Parallella boards together using the Epiphany eLink interfaces. That novel interconnect was to me a key feature of the Epiphany architecture. Without it interfacing multiple Parallella boards together is forced to go through the Ethernet provided by the Zynq... which (assuming the eLink architecture performs as well as is claimed) is impediment & disappointment.

Without fully exploiting the eLink interconnect I think it's really difficult to get a full and accurate understanding of the capabilities and weaknesses of the Epiphany architecture.

Please don't take this in a personal or highly negative way. You guys have accomplished a lot and I really, really don't want to diminish that. You've also dealt with the difficulties that the project faced with a professional, straight forward, and positive demeanour, which I feel is both lacking in many other kickstarter campaigns and which speaks volumes for the quality of character of the developers working at Adaptiva.

I really want to see you guys succeed. I am still interested in buying / building a mini-cluster but I'm holding off until they can be properly interfaced through the eLink fabric. Also, I very much would like to see a next generation Epiphany chip and subsequent nextgen Parallella board, beyond the v2.0 Epiphany III Parallella board that was discussed in the forums.
What's peeling? Google gives nothing...
I'd say more than that, the best people I've worked with in software development have been those driven to learn and try things... Those who don't know something who will take the time to read/learn enough to try something, then try it.

Skill and experience come with time... a personal drive to learn/try things is more than something that can be learned in a bootcamp.

Ask HN: Which open source projects would benefit from their docs being edited?
Hi!

I'm a freelance editor, and I'm looking to help open source projects by editing/proofreading their documentation.

Ideally I'm looking to work with something reasonably well-known so that I can provide maximum value and so I can use it for my CV, but I'm also open to helping smaller projects.

Do you know of any projects that might benefit from this, and would be happy to work with a reasonably non-technical person? (I'm okay with Git, but that's about my level.)

Thank you for your time, and thanks for any ideas you can give me!
