To work in technology, especially programming, you have to put a heck of a lot of effort into the subject. If it's not some legacy technology then that also means learning constantly (on your own initiative). That's what I like about programming, it rewards knowledge and ability - whereas other careers reward other attributes.

I look at the Twttier-style feminists (I don't mean the traditional equality types, but the extremists) and can only think that they are doing it for their own gain. If they really wanted to participate in their targets of anger, they could just do what everyone else does: work hard at a hobby for years, even decades, and maybe, just maybe they too could dominate the field.
I was wondering the same thing. I'm 40 in a few months; got glasses for the first time yesterday. I'm farsighted [always have been] and have a slight astigmatism.

The Dr told me that w/ Lasik they want at least three years of eye exams to make sure your eye isn't changing. He also told me that I'll probably need reading glasses in a few years after doing the surgery.

I decided to revisit in three years.
>> As I got older, I found myself wearing glasses all the time and contacts at the gym/social events, etc.

It always took me a few days to adjust going back to wearing glasses. I couldn't even drive when I would first put glasses on again.
Factory Pattern or Dependency Injection?

That won't stop lawyers from trying.
Perhaps a change to the law to penalize recklessly including false information would be a step in the right direction.
I can't say any of this for certain, and I have no qualifications to back it up, but I would assume that any or all of the following may apply:

1) Cost - if a you only visit an area with a risk of malaria for two weeks every year (which is far more often than most holiday makers), then taking a short course of pills that cost pennies a dose will be cheaper than receiving a vaccine that requires three doses and a booster.

2) Malaria strains - if you've been to multiple places in the world with malaria risk, you may have been given different medication. The first time I went to Cambodia/Vietnam I was given Larium, but the most recent time I took Doxycycline because the NHS no longer recommends Larium for the region. For Iran they recommended Cloroquine, which was significantly cheaper. This vaccine may only fight one strain, leaving you to have to take pills for other destinations anyway.

3) Effectiveness in adults - The article suggests that the vaccine was most effective in children within a given age range, so it may be the case that it simple doesn't work on adults. I have no idea if this is likely or even possible, but it certainly seems plausible to me.

I don't know anything about fighting malaria, but it looks to me like they are giving these vaccines to children to get them through the time when they are most vulnerable, rather than giving them lifelong protection.
I am looking for something that allows control about the quality of the emails that are gonna be sent to that list.

So, for example someone publicly vetting for someone else in some way. Just as a lot of sharing sites (i.e. couchsurfing) it must be possible to build up a reputation or to convey that you are serious.

Also, signing something that you will make the email fun to read or worth their while might be an option.

Just thinking out loud.

The ideal case would be journalists that organize this for themselves. "This is how you should contact me". :-)
TL;DR:

Upload your images, they extract EXIF for metadata, resize it and upload to all your services. Automatically social sharing buffer comes with analytics aggregated from all your services - you can now see how popular your work is and why.

> Arguably, a slightly autistic personality is helpful for a programmer.

This sounds a bit like people who go "haha, I'm so OCD, I like my pencils all pointing the wrong way" - incorrect self-diagnosis. "Slightly autistic personality" unfortunately seems to be fairly frequently used as an excuse to be an asshole.

Thanks for the feedback, i'm pretty new to blogging and i've found the hardest part is giving the right context to my readers.
I feel that the author may end up regretting spoke too soon. The long term effect on human eyes after LASIK has not been studies enough as the technology has only been around for a few decades, much shorter than a normal human lifespan.

Free VR Goggles
mine is (say D750 as a source, with raw+basic jpeg):
- move all jpegs from card, keep raws there
- go through jpegs, select "best" (ie worth further work), for worthy ones take RAW from card instead of jpeg
- select panoramas to join in autopano
- join panoramas (source is jpeg, if anybody knows how to do it with Nikon Raws, please share!)
- select best panoramas (often quality is visible only after all is rendered)
- if I have multiple sources (photos, panos with different naming, GF camera, Gopro, phones etc.) I make one single unified ordering based on file names (this is crude process, but no clue about anything better)
- process those Raws in Lightroom, put them back
- post on flickr for parents (don't have FB)
- select even more for FB albums for all rest
- delete all raws on memory card (ie except those few worthy processing that were moved from it)

cumbersome process, but I simply don't like the workflow Lightroom is forcing me to use, so I use it only for Raw edits. Now where to backup those selected few is another question, since I don't want to pay...
I had my eyes zapped about six years ago, and it's been nothing but positive for me. Like the author said, the procedure itself was painless (and very fast, a few minutes per eye).

I had the surgery done early in the morning, and afterward slept through most of the day to let my eyes heal. I woke up the next day and was able to read car license plates across the street, where two days prior my vision was bad enough that I couldn't make out facial features over an arm's length away without my glasses.

I'll second the author: it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
> I was under impression that it's more of a backend language, tailored to the needs of backend devs

For one thing it could mean only coding in one language on both client and server side. If three is little friction between the language and the needs of client-side code then the drop in context switch need between the two could be worth it to some people.

Much like using Javascript server-side when most considered it a client-side only language (an opinion that is pretty much dying away now - the remaining people who don't like the idea of it server-side don't like it client side either).
Yes, exactly! What would be a very fast way to create such a community?

Black-ish floaters? There's a discussion on those in this thread.

Floaters usually move. If they are static, they may be something else.

It's common and normal to develop floaters. What is NOT normal is to develop a bunch of them very suddenly. That could mean many things, such as possible retinal detachment. Which is a very common Google search result, but uncommon otherwise.

If you are worried, get your eyes checked. I did, as part of my checkups. My doctor told me that she had one, she couldn't see mine, but that she sometimes had to move her eyes to make sure it was a floater in the patient's eye and not hers :)

Just include add this conversation at your next eye doctor visit but don't worry about it. Floaters can appear and disappear with time and can become more frequent as you age.
I think Android's formal future will be the guts of Chrome (Mojo) and Dart. Some heavy weight developers are frantically working on it.

The Contrarian Status Catch 22
Yea, but then it doesn't really make sense to argue about anything, because everything can be statically defined in terms of the environment it exists in. The part can be described in terms of the the discrete whole of which it belongs to, minus the part.

I like to complain a lot, about many things, for like an hour, and then I get frustrated without observable resolution. It's all thinking noise, patterns, I prefer to stay at home, I like sleeping, so tired of arguing on the internet.

He realized that insurance generated enormous carry, and if you were able to better utilize that (say, by buying other companies and improving them) then you had a pretty winning strategy.

I'm not afraid of porn btw.
I have the same problem, talked to the doctor and there is no way to fix it permanently. What you can try is move floaters by doing a "teenager" eye roll, very rapidly several time in a row. In my case this helps to shift them away from the view.
We used to mail writings to ourselves as proof of ownership, an artist in music could write their sheet music then the lyrics mail it to themselves then assert that as a form of time stamped ownership. I know this is not electronic but its still evidence if needed.

Ask HN: Is Project Fi worth it?
Has anyone signed up for Google's Project Fi and started using it? I'm currently on Straight Talk which is only $45 for unlimited call & text, and 5GB of 4G. Project Fi is $20 then $10 per GB of data... a total of $70 (assuming I used my full 5GB). Also, the coverage map looks worse compared to AT&T.

Just curious what people think of Project Fi... doesn't seem worth it to me.

These changes make great sense.

The watch should mirror iOS for UI / UX in as many ways as possible to make the learning curve as low as possible. Of the people I know that own an Apple Watch (after I purchased mine), all of them have asked me "how do I do x", from as simple as changing the color of the clock, to how to play music, to how to silence it.

If it followed iOS UI more closely, these problems / questions may not exist.
Is Handy the next Homejoy?
That really doesn't make sense. One doesn't choose to believe something; one just does. There's no subconscious or conscious choice. Believe is something one does (it may even be that belief is the thing the brain does, but I don't know that I'd go that far).

The criticism on vision 2 is weak. He didn't offer many examples about how this vision made the world a worse place. I also don't see how this is comparable with "scientific Marxism" or whatnot. Those historic examples he listed there, while seemingly calling themselves "scientific" on the surface, are actually many times a mess born out of imagination. Now, as long as changes are happening out of laws of market, out of people actually using the products and appreciating the benefits, I don't see it being much of a problem. Technology is doing a lot, and as well said, change in productivity is the only real way to progress human society. We shouldn't relent our thoughts on this front. It's not "colonialism" or whatsoever. On every leap of productivity the human beings make, there has to be some group of people who are leading the job. This is not inherently evil.
I had it done about 6 years ago. While I wasn't completely under, I was given Valium beforehand and therefore didn't really give a shit about what they were doing. Also, because of the freezing, I didn't feel a thing. I just floated there, looking where they told me to look, and about 10 minutes later I was back out on the waiting room with my parents.

Figured more data wouldn't hurt, even if it likely means it won't get voted as high.
I'm a statistical machine learning specialist who uses graphical models to model signaling and metabolic pathways from 'omics data. Some of it has involved writing domain specific languages for representing biological pathways, and I have seen other people who do that talk to the synthetic biology community. All my PhD research has focused on medical science, but I am hoping after finishing to move from a systems biology focus to a synthetic biology focus, as in designing artificial pathways and engineering them in experiments rather than designing experiments for reverse engineering natural pathways. Does that resonate with your work at Ginkgo? Or does my skill-set have no relevance to synth bio?

I am not expert in the field, I just took a course, but I know that a mixed state is not the same as an entangled state. In their case it is entangled not mixed and so there is no need to take the partial trace. For example, consider a two subsystems entangled with each other, |q1>|q2>. I we want to apply an operator U on the second subsytem we apply I(x)U or we can simply consider the second subsystem and apply U|q2>. This is valid as long as the entanglement holds and Identity gates are assumed to be applied on the first subsystem.

'rebaser' improves on 'git rebase -i' by adding information per commit regarding which files it touched.

Each file gets an alpha-numeric character at a particular column, a list of which appears below the commit list.

Commits can be moved up and down safely (no conflicts) as long as they don't have any clashing columns.
The only problem I have with feminism is that it's often a movement against men, and not for women. I think they would be a lot more successful doing things to encourage women rather than disparage men. Meredith would not have had to write this article.

Of course, it's a lot harder to be positive rather than negative.

I don't think it's necessarily tailored to backend development. Go does have cheap threads, which is helpful for programming servers that handle many connections - but that won't hinder you developing a GUI.
This was awesome. Not because it dispels a meme that is negative in the industry, not because it is some sort of proof a woman can succeed in tech, or any other of this tropic nonsense. It was such an amazing message that was totally gender neutral:

"I like building things because I am curious and I pursue knowledge for its own sake"

With all the confirmation bias and name calling (which I am certainly guilty of from time to time) it is refreshing to hear someone talking about how they just want[0] to focus on building something exciting and not focusing on politics.

[0]this originally said "both sides to shut up to they can get back to building and hacking.", which was not meant literally, but to convey the sentiment the edited section now reflects.

edit: If you strongly disagree with me, and I am being sincere here, I can promise your energy will be much better spent building/doing/creating/enjoying something than engaging in a debate with me. If you are up to the challenge, go out and do. If you take some time to go out and do something awesome and you still feel like you would like to converse, I would like to talk about your projects/etc and my email is listed.

Cheers.

[final edit:] I have been doing a lot of thinking about cultural problems. I have began a change in perspective that has lead to personal growth, asking not why something matters but when/contextually something matters. Maybe whatever is being argued down thread is the single biggest issue you find fault with in our society or maybe it is the 5th, 10th issue, etc. I can only reiterate that "creating" will better your cause but this is not the context or the "when". Go start a scholarship, teach people to code, work on a product, call your senator, etc. Doing something is much better than talking about something and if there was a place to reasonably have meaningful discourse, I assure you this is not that place.

Yes, it helps demonstrate our current inability to have important conversations is nothing new.

edit: Downvotes again. I'm tired of trying to bring different viewpoints to these conversations. When you look around and find that everybody agrees with you don't assume it's because you've found the truth, it's simply because you've driven away everybody who disagrees with you.
That's not how the certification of a DMCA request works.

All they have to certify under penalty of perjury is that they own the copyright to the works they claim have been infringed. They do not have to certify that the works identified are the works they claim to own.

Read that again if it doesn't make sense, the only part that they need to certify is that "I own XYZ", it's up to the parties responding to certify that "I'm not sharing XYZ, I'm sharing my Original Content PQR." Or whatever other affirmative defense they can muster.

The law is built to recognize three parties: 1) accuser, or, party owning copyright to a work; 2) respondent, or, the person accused of violating that copyright; 3) safe-haven, or, let's say YouTube, who facilitates this transaction by responding to accuser's claim with an immediate takedown, to avoid any culpability for respondent's potential infringing action.

Then respondent submits their defense after a period of time elapses, and finally YouTube seeing the defense can optionally restore the service for the accused person until a court order says they were infringing.

The law is designed to make the job of respondent harder than the job of accuser, since they are the one accused they should obviously have to take steps to prove their innocence 
.

The only thing that accuser has to certify is that they own a copyrighted work.

If YouTube has the desire to take on some extra liability, they can reject obviously incorrect take-down requests, and if they are ever wrong, they get the luxury of potentially losing their safe-haven status and being lumped in with accused party #2 when the lawsuit goes on to the inside of a court room.

If the court decides the take-down request was reasonable and accurate, but YouTube did not take appropriate steps to honor it or respondent lied in the response, one or both of these parties can suffer the penalties (and potentially perjury charges for their bad-faith responses claiming non-infringement.)

"polyglot microservice architectures" eh?

Hey Bill! We've got 20 years of legacy code that handles everything from Arrivals Boards to seat assignments in 1627 different aircraft configurations. We got a room full of .NET devs downstairs.

How about we re-write everything in multiple languages! Remember that time we went down for two days because we muffed up our NET 2.0 to 4.0 migration? Imagine how much fun we'll have when we're doing it with Python, Ruby, Rust, Swift, Javascript and Go!

We'll break out the seat assignments in Go. Do the signboards in Python. Web app for refunds in Ruby. I don't know what Rust is but one of the guys downstairs has a book on it with a woodcut of a beaver on the front. Think of all the time we'll save!

Plus our consultant says it's so much easier to spin up Linux VMs!

"Bill, it's the same damn button to spin up a Linux server anywhere. Even on Azure. You just check the Penguin instead of the four squares first. And our deploy scripts work just fine. Even our stupidest apps from the 1990s are one binary file and one text file now. And nobody but Tim is allowed to change the text file."
I had a retina detachment earlier this year. My retina had torn and scarred on the bottom of my eye and decided to detach while I was out of the country. Recovery has been ok and I have 20/30 vision on that eye .... But that is with staring at the letters for long enough until my brain has averaged the letter out (the letters actually narrow and widen). I now have a permanent pinch in the middle of my sight due to the retina not lying down perfectly flat. I will have to deal with this as my doctor says this will not heal. It is not fun. If I wear corrective lenses my eye tries to merge two images that aren't the same size.

Anyway I'll stop ranting. One of the signs that you might be having tears (precursor to detachment) is an increase of floaties in the eye. Also nearsightedness (yes for to the eye shadow you have a higher chance of detachment), and light flashes. If you are noticing more floaties you might want to get out checked out.
Retro ThinkPad Survey 3: What’s Under the Hood?
Which means that when you get an automated system to file the legal documents, you'll never get a deliberate misstatement. If this was a lawyer going through one by one and making a statement, this couldn't happen because the lawyer could only request a take down on 127.0.0.1 after giving some thought to it, denoting either negligence or deliberate misstatement to create such a notice. But because a machine can do it, we get all sorts of crazy stuff that are accidents of an algorithm and that is acceptable under law.
