I was surprised at the early failures of my Sylvania bulbs. Had expected that going with a brand that has been in the light bulb industry for a long time, I would get decent quality, but they've all died in under a year. Now IKEA bulbs are my go-to, the mix of selection, quality and price is impressive compared to what I've seen but I haven't thoroughly researched this. Do Philips or GE do better?

I had some complex JS plotting to do as part of a client project, with axis navigation, color changes, discontinuous lines on time-axis scatter plots, custom markers, and custom gridlines. I scrapped my initial approach and switched to Highcharts, saving a lot of time compared to building the plot directly in D3.

By default you get a great plot, and with a well-documented API you can customize literally every aspect. Congratulations to the team on the launch of the new version!

Backed! I hadn't heard about this Kickstarter campaign, thanks for posting.

Magit is such a great tool that I think it's worth learning emacs for, even if you just use emacs for revision control and spend the rest of your time working in a different IDE.

There might be insight to be gleamed from a better dataset than public repos on github. It's a big leap to make inferences about the use of Django in the wild from this.

Oh my, X%! Did the upvoters see the many placeholders in the article or were they asked to vote by someone?

This is an interesting problem. I'm trying to visualize this and I must be thinking about the problem incorrectly; perhaps you can help me wrap my head around it.

Since the pieces fall onto the faster conveyor belt with random spacing, isn't it possible that two consecutive pieces will have the spacing of the puffers they are destined for (within margins), regardless of the puffer placements?

Really? I was under the impression that Glass was discontinued. Can you provide any links?

I'm very curious to see this CV!

No, the Gates Foundation just has open access requirements. Sorry Nature and Science.

I hope this sets the stage for all grant funding sources to institute similar requirements, and we'll get even more absurd clickbait headlines as a result.

Find a study and sign up.

Look for research groups in your local institutions and send an email to a couple grad students asking about studies they or their colleagues are running in the near future. A researcher may give you the scan if you ask nicely and say it's for personal interest, plus you'll be compensated for your time /and/ simultaneously help with the advancement science :)

With news of Intel's acquisition of Altera, I thought HN would enjoy this excellent lecture on the use of reconfigurable architectures for the next step in improving computing efficiency. I watch this every couple of years and consistently find it exciting.

Although we're very heavily invested in the current paradigm, maybe with Intel's weight behind Altera and some popular trends in programming languages, we'll start to see more of a push to move beyond the Von Neumann model.
