That's still n=1. It might just be that you're particularly good at language acquisition, and you'll succeed no matter what method you use.

All that "modern" tooling is simply there to solve problems people have encountered. Give yourself a chance to experience the problems first, before you go adopting everyone else's solution to those problems. Just write some

Yes, which is precisely why it bothers me. All I see in my head is a flat line on a graph.

Apple can't deprecate the URI standard. It sounds like they've simply stopped using it for links between apps. The actual article title is "iOS 9.2 Update: The Fall of URI Schemes and the Rise of Universal Links," which

I guess this makes me a pedant, but it bothers me to see big O notation used as a shortcut for "within an order of magnitude." It would probably be fine if everyone on HN had taken an algorithms class and knew the formal definitio

It's a much better idea than exercising the options on December 31, then having the tax bill come due April 15.

As you say, one possibility is to exercise your options, then sell the shares on the secondary market before IPO. It's worth at least talking to a company like Sharespost about whether those shares would be salable. They can give you a

Clickbait would be "You'll never believe which character ruined Sesame Street" or "10 reasons we hate Elmo". This is more of a "I have a thesis, it's not simple enough for a headline, but here's what

Depends on the value of "frequently." Every weekend would be not much fun. Every month or two I'd be fine with. Riding in a comfortable vehicle is good family togetherness time, which is in short supply in a lot of families.

What are the roads like where you live? Because in my part of the world a ten-hour drive is a pleasant way to spend a vacation day. I look forward to road trips.

The author is a she, and the article is really about childhood fantasy, imagination and disappointment, via the lens of how a bunch of American kids imagined the unknown "Turkish Delight." (Also, the only lokum I ever had tasted l

Wait, most universities don't offer summer classes? Where I went to school there were fewer students enrolled over the summer, but that just meant campus was a bit less crowded, not that it was a ghost town.

Comments like "Not exactly somebody I feel much sympathy for" and "he definitely was heavily involved in similar activity himself" miss the point entirely. The point is that swatting is too easy. Victims can't count

All of us smoothie lovers are out here on the sidewalk where we got kicked out the door and landed on our rear ends. Pretty soon there'll be enough of us to form a nonprofit and go save the world on our own.

That's harder than it sounds. Insulin is a prime candidate for that - just synthesize an insulin analog that doesn't get hydrolyzed in the stomach, and you have oral insulin. It would be an instant blockbuster drug. There have bee

It's great that he's taking two months, but count me with those who think he should take more. I took three months of maternity leave with my youngest, and honestly that last month was a really good deal for my employer. I used to

Yes indeed. There are so many existing useful components that there's a whole section of the Programmer's Guide to Drupal [0] called "Common Drupal Programming Mistakes: Programming Too Much." Almost all the Drupal code

by ksenzee 11y ago
I mostly use existing components, because they're there and (usually) of high quality and integrate well together. But on a project of any size you'll need custom development. If your project is so small you don't need any cu

Yes. Drupal itself is moving away from multisite and toward this kind of setup. Disk space is cheap now. Unless you're talking about literally thousands of sites, and you have the Drupal expertise on your team to manage that kind of se

Yes, it's gotten a lot better. This release replaces most of the underpinnings with Symfony, which is good modern PHP (and yes, those words can be uttered in the same sentence).

Easier _is_ cheaper. Don't discount the value of the labor required to prepare all that produce and bring it to the table.

AltaVista was good. Google was better than AltaVista, but not exponentially better. It was just a nice improvement - enough to get me to switch.

It depends which medications you're talking about, and which conditions you're treating with them. A lot of them are more like using a shovel on a flowerpot. Still not precisely the right tool, but they get the job done and the po

Try the mobile web version again. I think it's improved in the last 18 months or so. I use it on Chrome for Android and it's not bad.

I don't think it's overly technical for its intended audience. It's just that it's written for an audience that understands phase, DC-component, main frequency, and what it means for something to be "wrapped in one

I agree that when people talk about ancient civilizations, they tend to make things up, often assuming religious symbolism where none may have existed. David Macaulay's Motel of the Mysteries is a fabulous satire of that tendency and e

I would have guessed I had enough math to be in this article's target audience (two semesters of college calculus) but no. I think you have to have studied the Fourier transform already for it to make much sense.
