I'm living in Germany, and bought the 50-pack of Joylent. Was disappointed.

Apparently it's not the same ingredients as the US originals. It made me fart a lot. Saved 30min/day for lunch at work though, which is nice. I finished my batch, but did not get new. If a mix based on the 'real' recipe was available, and cheaper than a cheap meal (einen Falafel in Durum, bitte. Pikanter soße) I'd be all up in that stuff.
It doesn't seem at all practical.

Given a maximum yield of 30000 lbs/(acre*year) [1], and with an area of < 16 square feet, we get < 1 pound of coffee a year.

Maybe you could grow something else. Flowers, strawberries, herbs?

Dart on Android could be nice, I remember Mottier had a blog entry exploring this possibility - http://cyrilmottier.com/2014/06/12/shaping-the-future-of-and...

This being said, I wouldn't expect Google to make any moves towards supporting Dart on Android, or in Android Studio, for that matter.

I'm not sure if they see much future in this project, given that they decided against integrating Dart VM into Chrome.
I understand the author has strong feelings about her innate tactics for avoiding misery, but the ultimate thrust of her "amelioration patterns" are variants on "toughen up" or "don't feed the trolls", both of which assign responsibility for the problem to victims of misogyny, not perpetrators.

The author got lucky and doesn't, or can't, feel bad about misogyny. This isn't true for everyone, nor should it be. I agree with the "feminists" that it's counterproductive to say that if more women were like you, misogyny wouldn't matter so much. Talking about "good" experiences as models is only productive when the difference between your experience and others' is the behavior of potential perpetrators, not the behavior of potential victims.
Snorelax or Snorlax[1]? Just a heads-up to avoid any naming confusion/infringement stuff. (Though I should note, I have no idea if there's even a risk of that; I'm basically the opposite of a lawyer).

Seems like a cool idea! I'm on Android though, so I can't give it a test.

When I did "Algorithms and Data Structures" back in mid-90's, our teacher did consider amount of memory and disk access on her evaluation of our solutions. Being lazy on getting optimal solutions meant worse evaluations.

How many do that to their students nowadays?

Starbucks customers go there for the customer experience, not for the coffee

Actually we go for the coffee. But there is something to be said for the store experience of Starbucks, it is high-class and delightful, compared to something like Dunkin Donuts.

there is better and cheaper coffee elsewhere, even McDonalds

People who can't taste the difference between McDonalds' coffee and Starbucks, are not in Starbucks demographic. For the price, you can't get a better cup of coffee, unless you're willing to roast the beans yourself.

With that said, the key issues with Starbucks, are long lines, high prices and the wi-fi squatters. I seriously doubt that a cart based coffee stand can address all of these issues.
Some other site posts your image, and includes a link back to the original page on your site as a sort of citation or attribution.

I consider it ethical if there is no consideration involved--money, favors, etc. Interesting content should be able to travel around the Web if people actually find it interesting. The creator getting compensated with a little SEO bump is ok if they actually created something interesting.

That said, HN has a policy (or tendency at least) to prefer the original source and I like that too.

IANAL, but I would think that as long as, algorithmically, Google ensures it's weighing all ads and trackers equally (read: whatever your concept of fairly is) they could prove that it truly is in everyone's benefit. In a similar vein to the aforementioned "Death to Small Businesses Day."

I wished it's in Openwrt's CC release, but anyway it's great news indeed.
The thrust of the article seemed to me to be that the author feels her experiences are being erased by prominent views on women in tech - that folks like Kane are labelling her experiences as invalid.
Wanting to solve every problem and dismissing solutions that don't fit constraints is not an autistic behavior. It's an engineering behavior, as in "this is what all engineers do." It's socially awkward when you can't turn it off, but it's not autism.
Exactly, people think it's about ethics, it's not, it's a pure dollar making machine.

My LASIK was all laser, so the flap was cut with a laser instead of the microkeratome. My doctor gives you a Valium before the surgery.

Total time in the surgery chair was 6 minutes. First laser cuts, doctor opens the flap, second laser does the correction, doctor closes it up. Repeat for the other eye. Freakiest part is when they open the flap up and your vision goes completely hazy.

I was a long time contact wearer, so I was squeamish about having my eyes touched. I think it would be a lot more uncomfortable for someone who only wears glasses.

Best $4k I've ever spent. I had halos for a couple of days but no discomfort. For a couple of years, the reflective letters on highway signs seemed WAY TOO BRIGHT, but that's gone away now too.
I keep pointing people to the page I started a while back: Verilog for Software programmers (https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programmable_Logic/Verilog_for...)

Maybe it's time for me to add another one: good Verilog RTL coding style, or basic RTL rules for Verilog... Based on the kinds of mistakes I see online, it would be easy to cover initial blocks, multiple assignments, etc.

EDIT: just started https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programmable_Logic/Verilog_RTL... . For now, just contains placeholders for the items I want to cover, but feel free to add to the list, that's the whole point of a wiki.
IME you can statically link glibc, but your statically linked binary will still call ld.so.

Joe Rogan is cool and all, but the stuff he praises is often in line with "whoa, i took this and it opened my eyes to the REAL reality, man". Not much science or thoroughness behind anything. One time I listened to this podcast where he was trying to sound scientific when questioning the moon landing, but it was just as weak as the "where are the astronaut's shadows" people.
The largest thing in the universe
The uniqueness of a variant on a linked list which I imagine many people have reinvented with variance over the years, is not important. These debates are meaningless because creating a system penalising people for creating something that solves their own problems with no external reference is being made a crime and hurting business. I myself have worked for companies who have had to spend years in legal disputes for trolls. It has a real cost. These people are a cancer and this is a tax on abstract thought.
Mixminion is abandoned, so I wouldn't use it for anything other than research purposes. You should be verifying signatures of important software like this anyway, not relying on HTTPS to give you a trustworthy download.
I had a similar problem some months ago with a prominent blogging platform and I ended up sending an email to the tech contact in their WHOIS. I got a response in less than one minute from a guy who wasn't working directly for the company, but for their hosting provider. He got the security issue fixed in something like three days.

Try WHOIS, you'll hopefully reach someone tech-savy enough to discuss with.
Atlanta to Charlotte is about 215 miles. Atlanta to Tampa is 415. Atlanta to Denver is about 1200. Not everyone's commute is half way around the world.
Seconding this. Also, the absence of generics and real exceptions makes Go problematic for the kind of complex and optimized software that's needed on Android.
You mean like Grand Central Dispatch ? It's been available in iOS for a few years now and is very well integrated into the language.

Also battery life is largely pointless for an app developer to lose sleep over. The tiny power saving you make will always be eclipsed by screen brightness, cost of poor networks (the radio won't sleep) and apps like Facebook which happily sit in the background with their VOIP mode active.

Not to mention users will punish you far more if your UI is poor or features are missing rather than if it chews up battery (which they largely will never be able to measure). I don't know many ordinary users who check their battery usage deep down within the many Settings submenus.
I would not stress about this. Patenting works of nature seems increasingly tenuous even in this broken patent environment. Will we really be able to place patents on ubiquitous biological systems that are 500 million years old and present in billions of copies even in our own guts.
It actually really evoked some emotion in me, which I would not have felt without being able to erase their logo..

It made me feel connected to the emotions the founders are likely going through right now.
The issue is that she feels that people get mad at her for being pretty happy about how things are for her. That has very little to do with victims and all that.

It's really weird when you're not allowed to feel what you feel just because people who share some trait with you have different experiences.
Agreed. When I was younger, for multiple reasons but mostly stupidity, I was 30m to 1h30 late at work every. single. day. And the official work day started at 9:30am, so it wasn't that bad to begin with. In my defence I must add that I never left before my full 8 hours were over.

I was in good terms with everybody, managers as well, and I think in that stupid age I did some brilliant work I'm still very proud of. After a couple of years, when all the rumors about me being hired fulltime were materialising (I was working for them through an agency), they just decided to let me go.

It hurt at the time, but it was a good decision that served me as a lesson[1].

Employers, unless you're a bank with set opening times, don't fret over 10 or 20 minutes. Programmers are productive only in a stress-free environment. Obsessing over 10 minutes is the total opposite of that. But please fire engineers like me, you'll do them a favour.

1: I stopped being so late in future jobs, but I also discovered I have some kind of DSPS. It's still bad, but I'm now a freelance (in Europe) working for US companies, my clients are having their coffee when it's 3pm here.
While the whole situation is bad, you are being hit by a case of bad customer support, not necessarily a company that does not care about security. They didn't understand your message.

It's bad. But it's still reasonable to not assume the worse. Email the CEO or try to reach some developer on LinkedIn or Twitter.
it's not really that simple. the US had enormous untapped natural resources, and is still well-off in that respect. and the two world wars were not fought on its territory. of course, i do not want to say that's all, the US model is respectable and its success deserves respect. i just don't think it can be completely attributed to anti-socialism, nor that a bit of socialism would destroy it. (which, btw, we can see now, or? US does have a pretty big social apparatus, and is still doing very well.)
> You would never have a range start anywhere but the top of the file, as the whole point is that the later octaves are refinements of earlier ones.

Correct, but also arguing against a claim I never made. 1-10 and 1-1000 are both range requests.

> What makes JPEG2000 so amazing for this use case is precisely that you don't need to care about "ranges" (if you needed ranges, we might as well just have multiple files..).

The difference is simply performance: separate files lower cache hit ratios. Smart HTTP caches, including some CDNs, cache a given resource only once so e.g. a laptop user can get an edge hit for the first n bytes which an iPhone user just read and the image can start displaying immediately while the finer detail streams in.

Similarly, streaming the download and canceling after you've read enough for your target output resolution means that you're likely to wasting time transferring more bytes than you actually needed. That's particularly nice on a high-latency wireless network where a significant amount of data can be in-flight and those unneeded bytes will consume battery power to transfer and will likely delay transferring other resources which are actually needed.
Your probably fine but only because this is a company with a business. They aren't an IP litigation based business who would use it against you. The idea of incorporating business in north america frightens me. ITTP will make this a global problem.
They're a conglomerate that does three things: sell products; sell services; license software & hardware intellectual property. They made $92 billion doing this last year. They derive this stuff through a combination of several billion a year in R&D, acquisitions of successful companies, and acquisitions of companies with strategically useful I.P.. Unlike most tech companies, they've weathered decades worth of storms.

Unfortunately for them, they suffer that big company type of thinking that kills innovation. It's why they've had to acquire more. They're were also late to the cloud market. Their last CEO also practically ran it into the ground to prop up stock price before exiting with almost $300 million personal gain. They're facing hard times and it will be interesting to see how they adapt. Their recent push for innovation and agile is interesting. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

I caught that as well. The ritualized combat the GP assumed was there actually isn't.

GP basically burst into the AV club and shouted a rejoinder to an insult that wasn't given. Debate club is just down the hall. Go bother those people, GP.
No. Even though the company does not care about their lack of security, the OP could risk opening himself up to legal issues if he announces the exploit and provides enough detail for it to be exploited.
"In fact, when we funded Airbnb, we thought it was too crazy. We couldn't believe large numbers of people would want to stay in other people's places"

I don't understand why anyone would have thought this at that time unless they did zero research.

VRBO had been effectively doing that for 13 years by the time Airbnb came along, and was (and is) widely used. Yes, Airbnb's focus is a bit different of a market segment, but clearly their success indicated that large numbers of people were willing to rent someone else's place directly from them in spite of the potential concerns.
I've been noticing a trend recently whereby all the standard BCPL advocacy articles, tutorials and feature overviews are taken, have 's/BCPL/[some newer language]' run on top of them and reposted as if they're all novelties of [some newer language].

Seriously, though, I don't get this critique? It's not like binary pattern matching was novel in Erlang, either. Personally, I'm just happy to see an article on binary pattern matching (in any language!) on hn.
A BahnCard 25 gives you 25% off journeys, can be combined with saving offers and costs ~60€ per year. A BahnCard 50 gives you 50% off journeys but cannot be combined with savings. I think it costs ~200€ per year. A BahnCard 100 gives you 100% off journeys, i.e. the only extra cost a journay may occur are either seat reservation costs or the "Sprinter" extra for the fast train Frankfurt<->Berlin, which is not included (and technically a seat reservation anyway). This option costs ~3600€ per year or some such.

The point is, if you want to take the train, either book ahead (and maybe get a BahnCard 25), or get one of the other two. I used to do a mere 2h journey a bunch of times a year (as returns), and the BahnCard 50 easily paid for itself in just 2 or 3 trips, while also offering fantastic flexibility, since it's always 50% off the regular price, which is static.

That's how people afford trains. Also, with the BahnCards, you usually get a free ticket for central public transport zones at your destination, for example for Zone A in Berlin.

Just for your example, a single from Munich->Berlin costs 65€ with a BahnCard 50, i.e. 130€ return, booked right now. The booked ticket lets you ride at any time within the next two days, so you are also not tied to a specific train and it's no big deal if you arrive later at the station etc. (which is not the case for special offers, which tie you to a specific train). 130€ return from München Hbf to Berlin Hbf is really not that bad.
So this seems to be a give away to gain traction for their VR porn site[0]. Interesting. I might sign up for nothing other than a free pair of Cardboard to get into some web-based ar[1].

I'm no security researcher and have def never found a zero-day , but I think this is the thinking in the industry I identify with. Someone went out of their way to research this vulnerability and spent time on documenting and testing it. They then have the ability to own whatever infrastructure this leaves opened. So, they did the security teams job and helped out.

They then take time to repeatedly contact you with sufficient documentation and the offer for more of their time for free to walk you through it. Twice. Security consultants get paid a lot of money and this service is offered for free of charge because of some hackers curiosity.

The next step is not usually full disclosure but often, "I have written this blog post detailing the vulnerability and intend to post it in N days unless I hear from you" Then it is pretty fair game for full disclosure.
There's no question. A company builds some cloudy offerings with a few million and HN calls them a technology company. IBM's internal use alone is almost a billion a year of their technology. Then they sell billions to others. So, yeah, they're a technology company.

And anyone challenging them, their government connections, and patent portfolio better remember that.

"I don't like C++ malloc'ing things behind my back. I see it as trading maintainability for instant gratification."

I agree and I want to add that for a language "with a bias towards system programming" C++ makes strange assumptions about the memory. It assumes that there is only one kind of memory available for every operation (and it does its thing with that by default). Then it goes and further assumes that there is only one way (no finer further details whatsoever) of getting that one and only type memory. It's exactly the one boot fits all kind of thinking that Mr. Stroustrup suggests that C++ hasn't.
