You got some great points there but I don't think contributing a change without asking get before is bad even if it misses the project goals. I sometimes need a feature and posting it on mailing lists, etc tasks too long (considering the contribution is only going to be a few lines ~100). If it misses the goal of the project, I don't reallt care. It has fulfiled the licensing agreement (to post code back upstream). I don't care because I'm just going to use my fork and I would have done that anyways if my feature was declined in the mailing list. If the author finds it useful and wants it back upstream, then, I'm happy to have helped.

The great thing about open source is that you can basically do whatever you want with the software and git hub makes that easy by allowing to just fork the repo, hack together the features you want (and post it back upstream).

Otherwise, great summary!! Really appreciate it

CDPATH is not a very good bookmarking system, as you can't bookmark several directories that have the same name, and you are forced to bookmark all the siblings of the item you wish to bookmark, which can be a problem with flat hierarchies. So if bookmarking directories is the goal, CDPATH might not be the best way. And one off bookmarking functions are easy to write.

Admittedly for the description given, it does sound like CDPATH would work. But I'm going to assume there's a reason, and functions that change the current working directory are the perfect example of functions that can not be run in a subshell, so will have to be rewritten to fish, which is what the author was providing.
Yeah I did that. The biggest challenge was wanting to spend every minute possible working on my Saas and dreading being at work.

Also, I know the intent of what you're saying when you say "passive income" but after ~8 years of being obsessed with these ideas I offer a slightly more experience perspective when I say You probably aren't going to earn any "passive income" from your Saas. Let's say you get 30 customers @ 20/month. That's $600/month but you shouldn't appropriate that as passive income if you're still building features, performing service maintenance, etc. Maybe if you freeze the product and don't perform any marketing work, server work, etc. then it's "passive income".

In other words, you should focus on building a business, not a passive income. If you invest money in bonds or dividend-distributing stocks, then that's a passive income. Because you literally do not have to do any work or stress over it if you take an extremely low-risk, highly-diversified, income-producing investment strategy. How do you get the $$ to invest? By building a business and investing lots of energy (the opposite of passive).

Can you build a business while working a job? Yes, it's done all the time. Another tip is to wake up every morning very early and put your best cognitive hours into your project. Then you can go to work, and by the time you're ready to get home you can fully invest in being present.

>Unfortunately the Android brand doesn't carry that brand premium, despite the fact that Galaxy phones are excellent in quality

The hardware is good (although it never really had a premium feel, even in the last version) but the software has always been Samsung's weak point.
Samsung has been obsessed with crazy differentiation and putting in as many features as they could. They never tried to build a cohesive UX with their phones or even just to mitigate the performance impact of their customization.

So it is hard for me to really feel bad about Samsung.
I have indeed noticed some updates coming out and have looked at the contents of the book after a couple in hopes that the examples would have been updated, but that didn't happen. I was mostly disappointed in the lack of response from Ari Lerner at the time as well.

I was also surprised by the order of the subjects. It almost immediately started of with a manual $compile function and custom binding parameters. Which I felt would be better placed later in the book, when a user is more comfortable with the angular syntax and workings.

Still, I don't want to sound overly negative. If it worked for you it must be doing something right. But sharing this experience actually triggered me to create this account after lurking for so long. :)

I used to think my cash cow (freelance management consulting and putting together pitch deck presentations) was pretty awesome. But examples like this dwarf it in terms of ROI ratio.

Can you give more detail on what it is this business actually does? Or else, do you have other examples of high ROI side projects?

The cost to buy the site and IP, if even possible, would be huge. How on earth would you recover that? Showing adverts? Having installers wrapped with spamware? Anything like that would just further ruin the brand and drive the few remaining high-profile users away.
That is not my logic, you've completely missed my point. The adult human brain is the most powerful decision-making tool known to have ever existed anywhere in the entire universe. That being the trait that makes humans valuable, and slavery undermining that makes it somewhat incompatible with my morality.

Chickens do not have that potential to be valuable decision-makers. That is the only reason it is acceptable to breed them for death.
>some suffering matters, or nothing matters.

This statement means that the 'mattering' (meaning) of anything else is contingent upon the existence of meaningful suffering. So if there were no suffering, nothing else could matter.

Sounds very sensible.

Most economists seem to favour a revenue-neutral carbon (or GHG) tax, as that let's the market work a little better, but the end result would be similar, people paying more for electricity and there being an incentive to build towards a 100% renewable/carbon free energy grid.

Comments which add little or no value to the discussion are discouraged by HN community mores [edit: the "avoid me too comments" has been removed from the guidelines but habits die hard]. The reason is illustrated by this subthread: such comments often devolve into metadiscussion about behavior and complaints about community norms.

The up arrow expresses support for the story. The delete link allows a person to revoke comments that don't merit upvotes. The edit link lets comments to be modified with supporting details, examples, evidence and rationales that contribute to HN'ers understanding and knowledge by extending the content.

I don't understand how a gun would make things better in any of these scenarios. Without a gun the worst case scenario is that some property is stolen. Big deal. With a gun the worst case scenario is that a human being's life has been snuffed out.

here's an idea. Get property insurance instead of a gun. That way if your shit gets stolen you'll get a shiny, brand new replacement from the insurance company!

Batteriser “debunk video” and skepticism is flawed. Video and Proof
The debunking of the Batteriser was flawed. If you are still skeptical, here is some more information for to better understand their claims.
First off, Batteroo released a video demonstrating why you cannot use a power supply box to "debunk" the Batteriser. Batteries and constant power supply boxes behave very differently: https://youtu.be/Rv5eHRnjGC8

That YouTube page also has a video of the Batteriser tested on flashlights. Check it out if interested.

This video and study published by Duracell claims that batteries thrown away on average have 67% capacity left. https://youtu.be/JglYXZgP740 .

Next point, this study by Dr. Rolfz in Switzerland claims that 10% of batteries thrown away contains 1.4v left when discarded. http://www2.ife.ee.ethz.ch/~rolfz/batak/ICBR2003_Zinniker.pdf
This Swiss conference study is very interesting. The results show that the average battery in the test retained 33.3% of the battery's capacity...10% were considered "new" and it looks like over 60% had over half of the capacity.
30% of discarded batteries have 50% energy left in them...which is again a very significant point...this means if device could use the other 50%..., one can double the life of the battery.....The point that I want to pay more attention to is that the assumption is that Batteries would stop working at 0.9 volts...however with Batteriser we can draw the remaining power till around 0.6 volts which is gives additional life extension to the battery

Also interesting was their extrapolation that 20 million Swiss Francs (about $21.2 million USD) worth of battery value is thrown away every year in Switzerland!

The most important point from this article is that 10% of batteries had cut off voltage greater than 1.4 volts, which means that 1.5 billion batteries have greater than 1.4 cut off voltage. 1.4v is much higher than Batteriser’s patent claim of 1.3 to 1.35 volts cut off voltage...

You are right, list comprehension are cool and I often use them.

However, in this particular case, IMO, it would make things worse because I would have to write a multi-line list comprehension. Multi-line list comprehensions have bad readability. The object literal is too big to be included in list comprehension.

I could move commit->object conversion to a function, but then I would have used map. And it would have created one more indirection.

The current state is my deliberate choice.
I think parent referred more to contentious issues (e.g. sexism, systemd hate) rather than uncontrollable growth of a project. That said, excellent post, thank you!

The opposite of course are projects with too few contributors that accept any patch out of desperation, be it reasonable or not. (ZFS on Linux comes to mind, it's a super nice community and Brian Behlendorf does a great job as project lead but sometimes features and patches creep in of which I'm wondering why nobody dared saying "no".)

The Linux kernel community solved growth by delegating responsibility to subsystem maintainers. Such a hierarchical model is not supported by GitHub. Also, the kernel community's process of submitting and discussing patches on mailing lists, while somewhat arcane, raises the barrier of entry and keeps at least a portion of the Twitter mob out.

Externalities can be negative or positive. I often see commenters bring up the negative externalities of coal but what about the positives: abundant, cheap, reliable electrical supply would have to be one. Employment in mining, processing, and transport of coal is another. A market for trains, trucks, mining equipment and supplies, etc. is another.

Note however that it's not the only academic theory of judicial interpretation, and despite its popularity, it still leaves a few gaps as a predictive theory.

Sure, it explains why justices tend to vote along ideological lines. Unfortunately, they often don't. Having abandoned any acknowledgment of legislative or judicial constraints, the theory has nothing to fall back on to explain those cases.[1]

Justices are most likely operating under multiple constraints in any given opinion. Some of those constraints are dictated by their approach to textual interpretation, just as some are dictated by other ideas about fairness or social norms.

It wouldn't be the opposite of freedom (that would be suppression), but definitely a limit to the freedom we currently have in certain regards. However, we already have formal and informal rules that restrict the actions of people and forces them to follow specific practices, so it wouldn't be entirely new. In fact it would probably improve the situations at both extremes: on the one hand some taboos would be revoked (as that's also a way to avoid discussion), and you could exclude crazy and confused people who don't partake in any actual discourse.

I didn't say at all people should be open to my particular arguments, but to arguments in general.
In another interview they asked the developer if there would be gas planets in the game. He said no, every planet will be solid because otherwise players would be confused as to why they can't land on some planets.

So there you go, the target audience for this revolutionary game is people who are confused by the existence of gas planets.

Till now, I have seen about 10 different planets, from various trailers and presentations.

Clearly the game doesn't have 18*10^18 unique planets, since this is impossible. The problem this game has is, does it have enough variance in its planet generation, so that the average player will not notice a pattern.

The planets I have seen all looked mostly the same, with slightly different color schemes and animals made from generic pre-built parts. Unless the devs are only showing a couple of percent of the game, getting the 10 random samples from the game, all of which show a very similar planet is almost impossible.
I wish this was being developed in a more open manner, with a beta program. I want a game with a community, and ecosystem rather than one persons singular vision.
Something that annoys me about my iPhone 4S is the almost constant app-refreshes for anything that isn't a really simple app. Safari will even close in the background, stopping streaming music, if I open another resource-hogging app. I think I read this is due to the phone only 1GB RAM, anyone know if this is correct? The iPhone 6 still only has 1GB.

Is this, or something similar, also a problem on Android?

Sean:

I've been a fan of Streamus from early on. Thanks.

YT's policy seems to be "No Audio without Video, unless the Audio is from YT running in another browser tab, then it is OK."

That being said, there's a Chrome App that lets you run YT in a separate, hidden tab (so you can't accidentally close the tab, for example).

Maybe you could open a hidden YT tab in parallel to Streamus, and you would be meeting their requirements? Or maybe you could start with a version that opens a visible parallel tab, and then later add an option to make it hidden?

Of course, this implementation might use double the bandwidth. Maybe you could play the audio through Streamus, and the video in the tab?

Good luck.
Considering that gas planet usually contains a solid core, it's possible, in theory, to land on a gas planet.

In most U.S. states (even WA) [Law here](http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=49.44.140). Employers often still make you sign something saying that they own your soul and blah blah but they aren't enforceable.

Now, in some states (WA but not CA or NY) your employer can fire you for moonlighting if they want to but that's about it. You also have to watch out if you signed a non-compete and are arguably competing with your employer.

Robert F Kennedy was the source for the Salon Piece in footnote 4.

"He had written a much-discussed and much-challenged story for Rolling Stone last year linking childhood vaccines and a rise in autism."

"Nonetheless, perhaps more than any other Kennedy of his generation, he is looked upon as the next potential vessel for Something Bigger. In words, temperament and actions, he conveys a frenetic vibe of restlessness that invites the questions "What else?" "What next?" "What more?""

Its this kind of stuff that is ultimately problematic. Note that this is in the 'fashion' section of the NYT.

You could say that 'Salon' is outide your definition of mainstream media, but the issue is that the sites you mentioned still cover the stories, even if nothing more than as references in pursuit of 'journalistic integrity'.

Contrary to what Hollywood would have you believe, the vast, vast majority of home intruders don't want to murder you (it's so rare that these people get special nicknames like "Son of Sam" or "Zodiac Killer"). Most intruders just want your shit so they can sell it off.

This approach is a double win. 1. Nobody dies (yay!) 2. You get brand new stuff paid for by the insurance company!

> Clearly the game doesn't have 18*10^15 unique planets, since this is impossible.

I don't think this is impossible, since most of those planets will never be visited and hence will never have to be generated. It's possible to have that many planets in principle with just a handful of parameters, but if no player ever has the time to visit more than a few...
