I loved this, thank you. I laughed and cried in equal measure. It was a perfect break from what's normally on this website and I'm deeply grateful to you for sharing it.


Optoro http://optoro.com @ Washington DC

Senior Mobile Developer [ONSITE]

Optoro is solving a problem nobody else is: how to handle returns from retailers. It’s amazing that nobody else is solving this problem with technology, or at scale, but we are. It turns out there’s a huge need; major retailers like Home Depot, Staples, Radioshack, Bed Bath and Beyond, and many others are really excited about our solutions that combine technology, data science, and warehouse logistics into a seamless solution that solves their problems and makes them more money.

We’re looking for Senior Mobile Developers to help us build native apps for warehouse management as well as consumer experiences for our e-commerce websites. Both Android and iOS. Totally greenfield for the e-commerce apps, and mostly so for the warehouse tools.

Remote is cool after awhile but we’re focused on building a strong team here in DC first, so expect to be here for a bit to start at least (6-12 mos).

Lots of great benefits and an amazing mission! More info and a submission form at http://www.optoro.com/careers

Awesome! Unix `finger` is back! I loved that tool!


Yeah, also wondering if there are other correlations they didn't consider. That's the problem with these articles---all the evidence points to one answer, but is that causation or correlation?


> Yeah, also wondering if there are other correlations they didn't consider. That's the problem with these articles---all the evidence points to one answer, but is that causation or correlation?

My stats professor refused to read any pop-sci articles of this kind. His thesis was that bad statistics permeates the "lower sciences" (his words, not mine) and that just devolves into gibberish when it hits the mainstream.


You didn't actually read the article did you? They weren't talking just about retrospective studies, seeing who gets cancer and whether they took vitamins or not. The article talked about multiple randomized double blind placebo trials.

If you get a bunch of random people, give some these high doses of vitamins and give some a placebo, the ones getting the vitamins did worse.


Unfortunately that says nothing about people who are not megadosing on vitamins or who benifit in other ways thus offsetting the risks.


FWIW, the ppa is hannes-janetzek/enlightment-svn, and you can try it out in Ubuntu with:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightment-svn

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install terminology

great effort coming along. I'm sticking with terminator for now but will keep my eye on terminolog.


Unfortunately, terminology seems to be broken for me :(

  [buster@Fry➔ ~] terminology 
  terminology: symbol lookup error:   /usr/lib/libelementary.so.1: undefined symbol:   ECORE_X_ATOM_E_ILLUME_ACCESS_ACTION_ACTIVATE


You might get this error when your EFL stack needs upgrading. Did you use the PPA? What version of Ubuntu are you on?

For me, I wasn't able to finish apt-get upgrade without uninstalling an old libefl and all of its dependencies (some libraries that have been since merged into libefl I think), then installing again.

Try doing `apt-get dist-upgrade`


I had theefl-trunk installed before, but ppa-purge didn't remove everything, i suppose. Went through libe* libraries and purged whatever came from e17. Installed again.. working now, woohooo!


I never heard of ppa-purge before. Thanks for playing! :)


I'm wondering.. when i hit ctrl-shift-t it seems to open a new terminal? Atleast i get a new prompt.. but no way to switch?


Confirmed. I have no idea what it's doing, maybe this is preliminary support for tabs. You have more terminals to log out from after ctrl+shift+t.


According to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5445978

CTRL-Pgup and Pgdown, trying tomorrow :)


You misspelt:

    sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightenment-svn


ah, so I did. Thanks!


I'm very excited to see this naming conventions guide come out. I think you've done a great job here of clearing up in one place a lot of the magic that Ember does for you. Understanding how Ember looks things up is critical to developing nontrivial applications, so thanks!


I don't think that's a fair argument. There's always a point in projects where you need to do something you don't want to do. At that point your work has become an obligation, which makes it something you don't love. You're forced to undergo the stress that we're discussing balancing. The key IMO is to find the right balance of working through that stress.


If you loath to do something then it induces stress. However, if you love your project then you're more likely to ensure that ship moves forward, even if it means doing tasks that you did not want to do originally.


I think that stress is a relative thing. You could have all the power and resources in the world, but you'll be stressed about something.
