Hey, it's more important that they don't suffer at all than it is to actually understand what's going on and help people.

It's like these free energy guys who give the whole thing up after a run in with a black van and some suits in sunglasses: never-mind that it would completely change the world and solve untold problems. There was a black van and vague threats.

It's called "Sports Car Racing" and takes place around the world. Le Mans 24 hour, for instance.

It's a sprint and a marathon.

Can anyone remember a time Apple reversed a business decision, or promised to fix some kind of technical issue, this quickly? (Critical security flaws notwithstanding.) Certainly not when Steve 'Hold Different' Jobs was still alive.[1]

Just be careful with that. It can really suck the time. I have a problem that I am reading too much and writing/working less since I discovered HN. I am almost seeing it as addiction.
Hmm, given they already had 'billions of rows' [1] (though probably distributed across many tables), they might have been wise enough to plan for this.

Is there any study which tells how useful are high contrast things for kids?

When my son uses my mobile phone (which he knows how to turn on, off, unlock) - I generally turn brightness very low. This is in stark contrast to red/white :-)

Well it is true mysql is fast ... when it is not a problem.

They sacrificed correctness (stuff about big O notation in worst case) for benchmarks... and it works ... amazingly well as long as you are not under heavy load or give up on integrity, or relationship, or correctness.

Amazing. As long as you store data that need not to be transactional, or relational, or needing integrity mysql is fast. When data matters, or load is heavy mysql is just not there. It is chaotic, inconsistent, unicode retarded... full of pits... and resource greedy.

Sure, if you are a masochist, or if you fear to loose your job and need to elevate pain to the rank of art, then mysql is alright.

I have been sysadmin as long as developer and on both sides of the track mysql is insanely not consistent. (sysadmin: 400 config parameters, replication that fear any butterfly flapping its wings near a network cable, dev: collation behaviour, (clumsy) LDAP integration for auth, inconsistencies...).

I even prefer MSsql to mysql. I have been working almost only in linux environment since 2000, and I still think MySQL is crap. 10 years of horror stories with mysql made me hate it as much as taking LSD before trying to fill your taxes.

Come on, they cooked their own books and noone forced them. They may suffer from that now but pointing that out is not 'victim blaming'.
For simulation problems where each iteration of an algorithm depends on calculated world state from the previous iterations, then interconnect speed is all. You can't start the next iteration until all jobs in the current iteration are complete. This is what you need a supercomputer for!

Most bioinformatics workloads are simply nothing like that. There are very large amounts of data to process, but it is not a supercomputing problem because the jobs are independent and can be completed in any order.

> ‘We had 20,000 translocations from human cancers from the COSMIC database; 200 bases of DNA for each translocation; and about 200-400 iterations at each position,’ Bacolla said. The number of iterations totaled about two billion.

Here we don't even have a big-data problem (200 * 20K = 4M), just a huge number of combinations to test.

Though millennials are hailed as the first generation of “digital natives,” the over-40 (and 50 and 60) sets have become pretty adept when it comes to smartphones and other devices.

I always find this condescending if not outright insulting. Did the flipping internet, smartphones and all the rest of it just spring fully formed into existence with the birth of the first millennial?

We didn't become adept, we invented it! /rant off
Like everyone said, your time and attention are what is needed most. The book that resonated with me the most was the 'No regrets parenting'. Mostly it reinforces the idea that time and attention are important but also gives good ideas for how to make really good personal and family traditions. Ways to celebrate everyday moments you have with your kid don't need to be more than ice cream sundaes but they mean a lot. Like all advice take this with a grain of salt and see how it works for you.

Parenting is like having your code reviewed constantly: people will judge every decision you make, and you will judge yourself based on things you read and other people's children. On top of that, many of these judgements are entirely subjective!

I think it's important to take on board the suggestions of others because they provide useful external input. But ultimately what makes fatherhood so rewarding is seeing the way that both you and your child grow together as a result of the way you parent.

Good luck and have fun. But remember a lot of the time it won't be fun.
APM Agentuur (Advertising Pays Me)
I dont think he is backing the argument he makes in the title well. People using these platforms are in the process of repurposing their assets (rooms and cars) to make them look more like hotels and cabs, rather than the other way around. Airbnb and uber are becoming like any other capitalist monopoly. Their effect is to de-regularize the market, which is pretty much the opposite of what you would expect from "dotcommunism". It's not a free market utopia either. It's business as usual.
Except that it requires a patch to sudo to work.

It is more a question of, can I socially engineer a way to get a snippet of code into a project, that looks innocent (and is), but exploits version specific compiler bugs.
Everyone has missed the only thing you need to know:

APM Agentuur is the first ad agent worldwide who strives to build a just relationship between a customer and a business advertiser without resellers.
The APM Agentuur is your personal agent in advertisements. They want to establish fairness in relationships between you and advertisings.
On a side note, I think that for products like this to be successful, they need to open source the design and the hardware. Yes, there will be the chinese knock-offs if I want to buy a cheap one, but those never have the desired quality that I desire.

By having it as a proprietary products, the product is relegated to a niche market, that too in a Umbrella market where people would be reluctant to shift from the time-tested design.
People like you finding it interesting is literally the definition of what should be posted on HN.

That said, I would love it if the OP game some additional context on why they submitted it - is this a response to something? Was there a new advance here? Just something cool they saw?
Most of the books suck and aren't worth reading. The best perspective is this book called "How Children Succeed". Basically focus on the big things -- teach grit, curiosity, self-control, etc. That took alot of the stress out of everything and allowed me to focus on what mattered. The "Conscious Parent" was a good one too -- again focus on the everyday and don't be a helicopter parent is the message there. Lastly as more of a straight up playbook we read one of those French parenting books, "Bringing up Bebe" -- totally helped with toddler eating. What you expect when you're expecting -- throw it in the garbage.
It's free to get your own ad board. You receive 90% of each banner display on your board. APM Agentuur have 10% to maintain the operation. You set priority of ads you'll see on your board. No unsolicited advertising guaranteed.

Three children here.

Don't worry about any books or stuff. They're all pretty crappy. Some of them are written by people who have never even had children. Best advice I can offer:

1. If you find a problem, fix it. Don't worry too much about it occurring to start with. Most of them don't. Google is your friend here but stick to scientific solutions, not fad ones.

2. Don't get embroiled in political parenting campaigns like "breast is best" and all that. Just do whatever is comfortable.

3. Regarding prenatal nutrition, don't control it. Let her eat what she wants. Cravings are there for a reason. If you control it too much, a shrivelled rag will pop out without any extra body fat. Children get sick and need some extra incase they lose it. My other half lived on mixed grills and roast chicken and to quote our doctor, our children are abnormally well.

Edit: Couple more...

4. If you are sensitive to minor gore or bodily fluids, start trying to shake this now. They make regular appearances and you don't have time to get iffy about it.

5. Don't panic and always carry a towel. Good advice from Douglas Adams.
No, they are not. Not everyone lives in Apple bubble. Especially outside of North America.
This is a great simulation.

I've used it with 12 and 13 year olds to help explain how a computer works - https://www.bournetocode.com/projects/8-CS-Computers/pages/6...

Peter is a very helpful guy as well. He sent me his files so I could host the simulation and avoid problems with cross-site scripting. He even made alterations to make it easier to control the LMC using opcodes rather than Assembly.
We're about to have our first child in 3 weeks(give or take). Some things that have helped: my wife. She can explain a lot that I've had questions about because she's been thinking about kids for a long time, and generally goes to baby showers and likes to play with babies. The hospital. They offer free classes on everything from breastfeeding to being a new dad. Heidi Murkoff has a corny but valuable and informative video series on YouTube where each week she tells you what's going on with the baby. It's good to watch each week with the wife, and her book has sold a zillion copies. 2 books I have are "what to expect when your wife is expanding" by Thomas hill and the other is "be prepared-a practical handbook for new dads" by Greenberg and Hayden. As far as your wife's and baby's nutrition, her doctor should prescribe what they need. She'll be monitored well and getting lots of lab tests done to keep them healthy, so just worry about all the million other things instead. :) Hope this helps some.
I think you guys are using the word monoculture to mean different things but you share a common worry.

_frog is worried by a language monoculture, having to develop for a platform in only one language: the platform mandates the language. Other examples: Java for Android, Objective-C for iOS (Swift now).

You are worried by a framework monoculture, Rails dominating Ruby. That has no parallel in the JavaScript world. Other examples: iOS development dominating Objective-C and Swift?

The common worry is that monocultures harm their environment (JavaScript harming the web and Rails harming Ruby).

Given the success of Rails and the JavaScript-based Web one wouldn't say any of those type of monocultures are bad for making money (and look at real monocultures in agriculture and animal farming) but farming teaches that if you don't have enough diversity you are exposed to problems.

Being able to program the web in many different languages would be both good (pick the tool you like most) and bad (example: "sorry, I can't take over this webapp because it's written in OCaml and I only do Ruby and Elixir, find somebody who knows OCaml") but not different from what we always did when developing for the desktop and the web server. Both did well. If we're heading there we'll cope with that (customers will stick with the "big" languages, as usual).
Why can't America have great trains?
I can see where you're going with this and can agree with it, but feel like it's an incomplete definition. To use a quote (I think by Einstein, but I'm lazy and not looking it up): "Common sense is what tells you the Earth is flat." And it's true, this is "common sense", but it doesn't abide by your definition.

Even the people capable of producing good science are pushed into bad situations. The basic problem is we have more good scientists than the funding to support them - when the success rate of grants is less than 15% then the pressure gets extreme and also sorts of bad behaviour results.

As a bit of an aside grant reviews were apparently brought in initially to help scientists avoid working on bad areas. The idea was that everyone would get funded who put up a reasonable grant and they just wanted to help screen out the bad ideas so people didn’t waste their time.

We have since twisted this into the current system where we try to determine which of the top few percent of grants are the best. Of course the whole ranking process is so noisy that it is little better than chance for anyone in the top 25%.

A much better system would be to rank the grants as worth funding or not and then put all those worth funding into a lottery to choose who gets funded. At least this way even the losers would know they were on the right track and they were just unlucky. It would save an enormous amount of grantmanship and other activities that are the antithesis of everything science should be about.

The front wing idea would be a good move, wonder what the point of the F1 overtaking group was, when they didn't pursue ideas like this and instead went for DRS.
The English NHS has a bunch or articles for parents. These are calm and evidence based. Watch out for cultural differences though - in England the current advice is that bottles must be sterilised carefully just before each use; other countries say you don't need to sterilise bottles. (Bottle feeding isn't just for formula - women can express breast milk and let dads do some feeding).

Investigate sources of help for breast feeding. Most women want to; many experience problems, and by the time they've got help it's too late, they've bought all the bottles and formula and stopped breast feeding.

Your sleep is going to be totally disrupted. Sleep deprivation is used as a torture method so don't underestimate the disruption that lack of sleep can cause.

Pre-Order 7 Secrets to an Awesome Marriage
Uncle speaking; my second niece was born on Friday! I'm in Australia, they in the UK ... I'll get to see them all in a few months.

The first niece, now 7, is a spectacular human. Her parents are, in the kindest sense - and I truly mean this as a compliment - idiots. They don't take themselves seriously. They laugh. They go out, they have fun, they meet new people, they embrace life. Neither are rich, nor will they ever be.

I once said to my mam, "look at that kid. How is she so happy? How is that possible?!". Her response: all she's ever known is laughter and happiness. How could she not be like that?

So, my utterly unqualified advice: enjoy it. Smile and laugh a lot. Don't stress, especially not the little details. Everything will be just fine.

Congratulations!
I can +1 the "good enough" approach. I write code such that it works. When I get the urge to change something (and that is a lot), I change what I have to for it to work and make a TODO comment. I rutinely parse the TODOs and reevaluate them. When the product reaches v0.9 (i.e. only bugfixing allowed, no new features) I start to look at the TODOs and work on some of them.
Apple Agrees to Pay Musicians During Free Trial After Taylor Swift Speaks Out
I've been trying to get marriage visa things completed since May.
http://nvc.state.gov/
The payment system was down for almost the entire month of May. After finally being able to get through step 2, I've been stopped constantly. The entire social security website was down one night this month. I currently need my tax transcripts from the IRS. The online system for printing them out is down indefinitely and even the form to request they be sent by mail was constantly throwing up a technical error has occurred message.
I constantly think about a set of adult learning course for science things such as "math you need to know to understand relativity properly", be great to see this for other areas as well...
If you read that carefully, that does not preclude it from being a different problem with the CCD.

Dude, life is not an economics textbook. Have you actually worked in the real world with real people?
It absolutely is. If you're interested in why, I recommend Nir Eyal's (great) book, Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products. Basically, our brain gets addicted to "variable reward systems" (Facebook, slot machines, news websites) because it gets excited when it finds something interesting/entertaining. Not everything is though (this is the key part), so when you finally do find something good your brain gives you a dopamine rush, which addicts you. I won't pretend that I don't struggle with this addiction myself, but I've found having genuinely interesting work really helps - I read HN at work quite rarely at my new job.
