This is such a great thing, I wish more apps would adopt it -- it's such a joy to use I keep looking for excuses to use it when I don't even have a need to...

And what's more, the tooltips aren't just examples, they dynamically update to be /exactly/ what you'd type into the console or a script to get that effect. Eg when you have multiple scenes, the docs for how to change scene settings will reference the actual scene you're looking at: http://shishnet.org/ufufuf/blender-tips.png
My first thought when I saw news about it circulating on social media the other day. From marine biology point of view this project may be interesting, but if you want to save lives... let's just say this is only little more likely than getting struck by lightning and then getting bit by a cobra, so your efforts may be better spent elsewhere.

But then the second thought - from salesman point of view, this is an excellent idea! What better way to earn money than to prey on people's irrational fears? As long as you can say that this suit provably (science!) makes you less likely to be attacked by a shark, you have a goldmine.

Why Crossroad ?
All our friends take pictures during shared event, but we never manage to get the pictures taken by the others once back home…We downloaded other apps aiming to do it…not working for friends and us.
That’s why we created Crossroad which allows you to share 1, 10, 50 or even 100 pictures with your friends in just one tap and in background (no need to keep your iPhone awake during the pictures uploading / downloading process).

Hopefully it will help other people to finally see the pictures they never had the chance to see until now.

We would love to have your feedbacks on the UX / UI.

It's not a big deal, but then again you don't go out to work with a radar just in case a wild bear jumps at you at the bus stop, because this basically does not happen. This project is either a hobby endeavour, a really misguided attempt at saving lives, or a brilliant way of making money on people's inability to look up statistics and do the maths.

Not sure exactly what you mean. You can manipulate Google searches a bit, for example:

What do you mean, exactly by "website containing the specific word"? Does that mean websites with that word in the domain name? Or on any page? Or just on their homepage? Maybe just in the title of the page? (see the Google search above).

The key word here is innovation. Lot of the stuff you described (except perhaps debt securitization) is old and tested. To an outsider like me, it looks like a lot of financial innovation today (the kind that Wall Street does by hiring Physics and Math Phds)is primarily aimed at making a few rich people even richer at the expense of everybody else and provide zero or negative value to society. Why should we encourage that behaviour? Then there is the good kind of innovation like Micro-financing that is done in places like Bangladesh, and that you know, actually is designed to help the common man. Even crowd-funding (is that financial innovation?) could be considered good (although caution and regulatory oversight should be built in). This is kind of innovation seems to be the exception rather than the rule though.

I say financial innovation should treated by govt. with greater caution and suspicion especially when the effects of such innovation has consequences on the wider economy or when it involve other people's money.(Who's bright idea was it anyway, to allow banks and funds to gamble with people's pensions and deposits?)

If you can provide a counter-example to this, that would be much welcome.

edit: And no, I don't think a world without debt securitization would be such a bad thing.
I wanted to love that course but found that despite his entertaining style the lecturer could be quite hard to understand in places. What I mean is he'd be giving a description of a problem and I actually wouldn't understand what he was saying. No biggie if you were in a real lecture as you'd just put your hand up but on Coursera you're left with looking at the transcript (which didn't help) or asking in forums (which in case of this course were a ghost town).

Pity as it seemed like an excellent course.
For return values of a function it allows overloading, with negative numbers indicating errors.

That's useful if your language lacks the ability to return multiple values from a function. That typically was (probably still is on quite a few architectures) the case for languages designed for speed.

Also, in C, int was implicit (see https://github.com/mortdeus/legacy-cc for example source code). So, using int made your programs shorter. That's important if your multi-user system doesn't have much memory (the first PDP-11 that ran Unix had 24 kilobytes of memory), and if you like concise porgrams, as Ritchie apparently did.

It's always possible to renege on a loan. The next problem then is that if you want to borrow again later, you have to find a persuasive argument that you won't default again. "We've changed, really we have" and so on. Worked for the Germans, who had changed, and I think it would work for the Greek if they were able to cut pension costs enough, reduce corruption, clean up taxation and generally pull off reforms.

Judging by the title, this book seems targeted at beginners. Nonetheless, I decided to buy it since I'm using Django in my current side project.

I have a question (not related to my side project). I maintain a list of my eBook library where I put the following information about the eBooks I have (data for this book in parentheses): Publisher (Leanpub), Title (Hello Web App), Authors (Tracy Osborn), Published (), Purchased (2015-07-08), Last known update (2015-05-08), Catalog Page (http://leanpub.com/hellowebapp), Read duration (). As you can see, I was unable to determine what to put in the Published field. I would like to have information for this on the form Month Year. Could someone -- preferably Tracy or a Leanpub employee -- tell me what to put there?

PS: If you'd like to see my eBook library list, you can find it at http://www.erikano.net/eBooks/purchased.htm. Note that some of the books at the bottom of the list are ones I am not so interested in reading any longer.

Signed types are the sane ones and give you error checking possibilities (negative size doesn't make sense; huge positive size may be right or an error). Unsigned types break trivial math like x < y => x-1 < y-1.

Given that Chinese investors have been buying significant amounts of real estate abroad (http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/07/30/uk-china-property-o...), does anyone have any idea what this will mean for housing in other countries?

Higher house prices? (Chinese bears fleeing to overseas property like American bears flee to gold)

Lower house prices? (Chinese investors attempting to recoup their losses/keep enough cash on hand to pay their debts and other obligations)

Neither/something else? (perhaps Chinese real estate investment has a negligible effect on house prices)

This is a significant question for me because house prices in the UK are far too high for my partner and I to have much chance of ever buying a property, at present, even with a very healthy deposit.

I wasn't disagreeing with you, just adding some thoughts.

However, I do disagree with you here :) I suspect that AI researchers, linguists, theorists of mind, neuropsychologists and many others may take umbrage with your suggestion that exploring the ability to gain knowledge and convert that into "understanding" is pointless beyond philosophy.

Perhaps my tone was philosophical, not that I have a problem with that. However I was hoping for someone to dig further into the topics raised rather than dismiss them. I also wasn't "making a point about words" but rather the fields I mention here. Perhaps I should have been more explicit about that.

Anyhoo... syntactic recall as a proxy of a practical skill always seems doomed to produce inaccurate results. A job is not like an interview, in many ways. Where does that leave us? It feels that we should be able to interview people in order to separate the suitable from the unsuitable. Perhaps that's not the case, and we're deluding ourselves. I'm reminded of Daniel Kahnemann and the Israeli army recruiting procedure: http://www.businessinsider.com/daniel-kahneman-on-hiring-dec...

I hope the author mostly ignores the HN community's incessant need to pretend like any interface that's not a button marked "push for stuff" or doesn't work on some oddball gizmo has something wrong with it.

This is beautiful work.

Those 2 facts seem conflicting to me. In one case food deprivation helps you wake up while the other case it would make you feel asleep?
I see it the other way around. How many bits you need to address something in memory depends on the platform. Thus `size_t` is the only cross-platform type you can use. A fixed-size integral is going to work on some, but not all.

Eurozone crisis: banks agree 50% reduction on Greece's debt
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/oct/27/eurozone-crisis...

>What is being argued now is that there are equally (even more valid, since they involve human suffering) reasons to help the Greek now.

Absolutely! The question is not whether help is necessary, the question is what kind of structural reforms should be demanded in exchange for debt relief so they don't simply run up new debt.

Nonsense. We'll never have iconic record covers because one studio stopped, and one genre isn't interested in them?

If you want powerful and iconic, take a look at the burning monk on Rage Against the Machine.

Of course every cover is unique, and I don't doubt that covers have become less important, saying we'll never have that kind of iconic cover is silly.
This is really beautiful. I absolutely enjoyed reading this, brings back fond memories of National Geographics when I was a kid.

And your PS is what needs explaining to the European taxpayers so that they do not get mad with the Greek: the Greek were not bailed out, the banks were!

The Portuguese (and the rest) have not been suffering because of the Greek, but because some banks were rescued.

Now the Greeks are asking to be bailed out, for good. So, yes, now they are asking for the rest of the Europeans to help them.

On the contrary! Unsigned types are the only ones in C were everything is sanely defined, they are the integers mod 2^n. Signed types have undefined behaviour on overflow in C. In-band signalling of error states is error-prone. It is unfortunately commonly done in C because you can't return multiple values and passing in pointers is uglier.

The relevance is that Roger Wilson was a notable figure in the 80s and 90s -- he and Steve Furber were a powerhouse team. As far as I know, she transitioned to Sophie after her rise to notability, and she's quite a private person, so it's likely that many people who are very familiar with Roger's work will never have heard of Sophie.

The biggest frustration with those types is printf:

So I guess we are in the same camp here: the Greeks need to implement some reforms, and the financial markets need to take a hit. The exact details need to be worked out.

As far as I know, the Troika has been refusing to accept a haircut on the Greek debt as a part of the negotiations, which is one of the factors that has escalated the problem.

Videographic: Which country has the biggest economy? (The Economist)
And it is fascinating to see how it has evolved to become this. When it was first created as an in-house tool at NaN, the interface was just about the opposite. After a hundred hours of use, the 'one hand on keyboard, one on mouse' philosophy started to make sense, but the shortcuts and keys still seemed arbitrary; you just sorta memorized the whole interface. Heck, just discovering how to add a cube was sort of a personal coup for early-high school me since I had never used any real 3d modeling anything before.

But it was functional, and had some really great ideas, and it was free (which I needed on my nonexistent allowance)! I just assumed that the real cost was just a brutal learning curve. Then the really cool open source movement started for it when NaN went under, and people spent the next decade working to make it better.

It's always been a program for enthusiasts and passionate people, and it really shows. After half a decade I went back to it and was dismayed to realize I had no idea how to use it any more. And then 15 minutes later I was right at home. The learning curve's still there, but there are guideposts everywhere in the application, and the documentation exists! That you can throw Hy on top of it and live code it is just one more spiffy example of it working as intended. I would go so far to say that it's a core idea, since the blending engine made so many cool things easy (and possible) way back when it had an inscrutable interface.

TL;DR: I agree wholeheartedly.

I've posited that the only law required is prevention of child abuse. Viewing/possession of an image as a crime seems inherently misguided - especially if criminality is going to be defined by assumed intent.

However I have never been able to avoid the counter argument that by allowing (implied consent) a market for cp imagery you may increase demand which will increase the incidence of child abuse in order to satisfy. The bath photo is simply one end of a spectrum.

It's not only about deaths. Injuries (I imagine many are life changing) are important also.

But then I don't think there are that many injuries from shark attacks either.

So what's the point? It's the perceived feeling of safety. People are irrational when they evaluate risks like shark attacks, and for this reason there will be a big market for this even though the risk it mitigates is relatively small.

On the other hand, it might even increase deaths/injuries from sharks as people feel invincible and get closer and more irritating to sharks - moral hazard.

Anyway, just some thoughts typed out as they came to my mind.
