> The bottom up approach is harder for a reason, the knowledge gained is more thorough.

I'm not sure you can just make that statement. Interest and motivation will be the deciding factors in the depth of your knowledge in the long run.

Imagine having to read the full manual of a video game before you can play it vs just fooling around and looking something up when you need it.
The distance these cover and the depth they tunnel into mountains is part of what makes them incredible, in case the description of underground aquaducts doesn't sound cool enough.
Fascinating how these windmills come across as a symbiosis between man and nature.

They’re an integral part of the landscape, part of the culture (or used to be), and harness the local environment to produce something. Same goes for rice terraces, vineyards, etc.

And yet I see many people complain about us sticking wind turbines on top of hills.

One can only imagine how the Iranian wind wills were received a thousand years ago.

I suspect it will take a generation or two for these turbines to turn them in to an integral part of our life as well. Or utter necessity.
>I am a big proponent for climate actions, but excessive vilification and oversimplification are counter productive to the cause.

I'd argue the opposite. Excessive "it's too complex", overanalysing, and spreading the blame thin, is counter productive and is used all the time to obfuscate pressing issues, delay action, and deflect blame...
Given you have a transcription methode (but without the t timestamp output) the simplest methode might be to do a moving window throughout the sample and try to see where the detection results in a positiv.
ECS or no ECS? it doesn't matter

the problem of that kind of engines is the users are computer-illiterates

they don't understand how memory/cpu works

what happens is 90% of 3D indie games suffer from major performance/optimization issues

and we start to see the same kind of performance issues in AAA games, because, as always, we always want to cut costs, everywhere

worse, clueless people are gaining power and are getting into high positions, and they hire more clueless people so nobody can oust them, or tell them they are wrong, they want people to comfort them, and defend their bad decisions
Sounds to me like MySQL is trying to keep up with mongodb.

A littte bit late but I cant wait for some benchmarks.

If they also going to implement sharding next time, they keep my primary choice for new web projects.
What happen to the transactions in the block chains that lose out? Let's say a payer paid me by creating a transaction and broadcast it. That transaction got lumped into the current leading block chain. Somehow another block chain gains and wins. The block chain containing the transaction is discarded. What happened to the transaction? Is it discarded as well? Do I just got unpaid?
I guess those scientists got bored of looking for a cure for cancer!
>until the system is out of coins.

Which won't happen. They exponentially decrease in value per block as time goes on. And to offset this, as fewer are created, they will be worth more, because by that point there will be far more people using Bitcoin (if it doesn't bust, first).
.... you think there was inflation between 1929 and 1933?
Whining about a cancel culture that basically doesn't actually exist is pretty ironic. What a typical response from such a creative, self-actualized "male".

There are a host of other reasons that literally everything you just said doesn't and can't apply to the vast majority of people, but there's not enough room here to attempt to start without leaving out something important.
It's the same reason as adoption.

You have the ability to arrange marriages as King or Queen. Just as if you could adopt, you could dilute the power of your enemies by arranging same-sex marriages that can have no legal heir.
Serious question, what did snap chat pivot to?
I cannot tell you how happy I am to hear this. My heart sank when things seemed to not go well for Google.
Amazon is killing Walmart?
I hate to rain on your parade...

As you can see, the action is in the top 1 percentile, and the real action is in the top 0.01 percentile.

It doesn't so much matter how people feel. It matters what the reality is. If you make 250k there are millions of people who make much less than you do. The top 5% in a country of 310 million is a lot of people.

I'm not necessarily even favoring dramatically increasing taxes on the lower threshold of rich people, but I don't want to pretend like the life of a family that makes 250k+ and a family that makes 60k are very similar. This issue is about self-awareness, not "the other guys".
Sure, and I didn't mean to appear like I was stating the service was useless. It obviously has use -- it is a cheap shortcut that will reduce a very obvious pain point. An excellent business idea.

All I was saying is two-part:

1) the marketing copy on the landing page needs some work. the design needs some work as well. The main message was unclear to me

2) this product isn't for everyone. E.g., I do all my dev work on virtual machines. One of my colleagues has a custom deployment script. Many people use continuous deployment.

I guess all I'm suggesting is that the creator move to market themselves to a certain segment of the population. I'm not in that segment, but it was difficult for me to determine that. I suspect it's because the copywriter is loathe to exclude a possible customer. In my opinion, the "grab at everyone" approach hurts more than it helps. Go specific!

And finally, not everyone has Ruby running. I've never installed a gem in my life. Which would I rather do: something that I have done a million times and have partially/fully automated (depl to internet), or try to setup a ruby system?
well.. any ideas on how to make it better? I think we all want better regex syntax.

Also, I don't necessarily think it's the syntax, but simply the power / complexity that regexes have.
You _need_ to use -mnative because it otherwise retains backwards compatibility to older x86.

There are already many well-established biotech accelerators/incubators in Boston (Lab Central, PureTech Ventures, Third Rock Ventures, Flagship Ventures, Atlas Venture, etc.), Seattle (Accelerator Corporation; also in NYC), NYC (Harlem Biospace), and San Diego/Montreal/Vancouver (Inception Sciences).

The cited book is 1963. I'd feel more comfortable with something more recent. It seems to be a debate of degree. Earlier forms do tend to be preserved in the embryo, but it's only a tendency, not a "rule".
Raise hell. Everyone in your company with kids is going through the same thing. Surely there have to be enough people in your company who can empathize to say fuck that. Google has had walkouts over way less.
This is a great idea we are asked about frequently. We've been heads down, focused on getting the core of the product ready for a while now, but expect us to start looking much more earnestly at these types of use cases this year!

Currently, organizations can sign up and serve data out of Tardigrade with their account, but they would ultimately pay for egress. The reason is that storage node operators also like to be paid for egress. We are considering an option where storage node operators can choose to donate their resources to community data sets, which would then allow those community data sets to be hosted with much less cost.

The ZoL/OpenZFS-implemented features for encryption shipped with a critical flaw that could permanently corrupt the receiving dataset on subsequent raw send. Same bug also with raw send two a pool with a different ashift, also just recently fixed.
don't you think this security first approach is bad for our society?
If walled golden cages like iOS become the only available option,
average users will have an even harder time to get into general purpose computing and programming.
Generation iPad doesn't even know what a file system is anymore.

And updating an existing product i own to kill its main function i use for work is outright evil.

It's like your car pushing an update restricting it to only drive on vendor approved roads,
because there are some people getting in accidents on poorly maintained dirt roads.
Could you explain how your link backs up your claim?
By games, I assume parent was talking about things like zwift, which is even called out in the article. Most exercise bikes that cost similar to peloton support working with external software so you can do things like race on a virtual course. And gamification through badges is pretty standard exercise fair. My parent’s senior community even has gamification via small prizes for how many days you go to the gym.
Partly, I guess. The whole internet is a battlefield in the culture war now, though, and even completely unrelated subreddits start banning people who post in the "wrong" places even if they're otherwise following the rules. That and wikipedia is a complete mess now, instead of celebrating what we could build together academics are holding "edit-a-thons" where they tell students to put the lecturer's slant on everything. I have a feeling we might actually be in WW3 and it won't be nuclear, it'll be all about who can distribute their propaganda most effectively.

As an aside, even though HN has a distinct left bias I would say it's definitely one of the fairest forums I've posted on in the last couple of years.
> It’s a pity about that but I guess FB have to pay all those great developers somehow.

They could just run it as a paid service again? They had a minimal annual charge before the Facebook acquisition and probably could have raised that, instead Facebook made it "free" which should have been a warning sign of things to come.
> I eagerly await the day all these display standards problems go away.

Based on the history of display standards, you will be waiting a while.

Displayport was meant to be the magical works-for-everything standard... then the various versions of Displayport started showing up.
Thanks for pointing this out. It looks like LibreOffice may handle complex graphics better than wmf2svg. You can do batch conversion with it, too.

libreoffice --headless --convert-to svg Popular/tennis.wmf

However, I haven't found a way to preserve the original canvas size. It seems you need to crop the image separately.

inkscape --with-gui --verb FitCanvasToDrawing --verb FileSave --verb FileQuit tennis.svg

I'll try this method and upload the LibreOffice conversions in their own archive if they look good.

Edit: They look good so far. I'll upload them as SVG-LibreOffice.zip when they are done.
But then offline-first software was held to a higher overall standard because of this exact reason. Nowadays no one gives a crap because "we can always push an update", and so everything is an eternal beta.
How, apart from whatsapp, would it collect your data? The only social account(s) I have are on reddit.
No, they won't in standard implementations we are not exactly allocating, the allocated buffer doubles each time, so it's amortised and not O(n^2). There is a downside for non trivial example code.
Actually CH4 is pretty well distributed, especially in the northern hemisphere . The pictures / videos you linked to were emissions pictures. We have some good concentration maps we generated from from the ESA Copernicus Tropomi data. I don't know how to link to those internal pictures, but you can probably find similar images right on an ESA site or one of the university sites that use the data.

As for concentration: that's an excellent question. I'm not sure how much I should say right now (though as soon as some of the scientists appear on our website it'll be obvious from their publication record, if the comms "team" -- really just part of one person -- hasn't already written more by then). I can tell you that the lab work we are scaling up just used outside air -- a pipe stuck out the window -- as its air source, not some special high concentration mixture made in the lab.

I believe you can buy home water filters that extract higher molecular weight contaminants like arsenic in low ppb levels, but I'm not sure how applicable that really is :-)
> What, exactly, is it about JavaScript that makes it particularly appropriate for this paradigm?

V8.

And it's a pretty powerful language. C-like syntax (familiar), Lisp-like (powerful/flexible), it's everywhere and it's fast (thanks to V8). Really, if it weren't for Chrome, Node.js wouldn't be a thing, and JavaScript wouldn't be ruling the world.
>"There is no global mandate that says everyone has to be outraged by all "real issues". Plain and simple, that is the fallacy of relative privation. A person isn't a hypocrite if they post a tweet against this poster hubbub without following up with one about prostate cancer, it just means that they have their own unique interests."

We're discussing the public in aggregate. I don't think anyone is expecting each person to be outraged equally by all things that deserve it. As you say, they have their own unique interests. But if the public, in aggregate, ignores (or doesn't get vocal about) an issue while simultaneously giving another issue a disproportionate amount of attention then we can infer things. Such as that, on average, more individuals have a personal unique interest in promoting X, and ignoring Y. Or maybe there are simply more individuals promoting X than there are for Y.

>"Furthermore, the author of the article has played a sort of mind game regarding the prostate cancer "real issue": he didn't take to Twitter to personally ask the "Everyday Sexism"/"equality movement" proponents if they also believed that funding for prostate cancer was worthy of concern."

Again, we're discussing the public in aggregate. His actions, and the actions of the "Everyday Sexism" group are mere relays/amplifiers for public opinion. The author is merely commenting on the current state of funding, which has supposedly been driven by the up-until-now public opinion on the the topics.

>"To assume that these same people wouldn't also be disappointed about a lack of funding for men's issues is really jumping to unfounded conclusions. But, then again, I never got the impression that this article was trying to inspire real conversation... just add divisive fuel to the fire."

I'll go ahead and reiterate my point one more time, as you seem to be a little overly hostile towards this article for some odd reason. Even if these groups/individuals are disappointed with the lack of funding of mens issues, public opinion still overrides them. The proverbial "do as I say, not as I do" difference where people say one thing, but do another.
If the growth rate is slowing it is not exponential - a constant growth rate is the definition of exponential[1].

After increasing dramatically during the first half of the 20th century the growth rate has declined for the last 40 years. Looking more deeply into the demographics (by country and age group) it is pretty clear that this decline will continue for many decades to come. The video I linked above goes into some of this.

Most experts currently predict that the world's population will peak (i.e. below zero population growth) middle of this century around 9 billion - although a few say as high as 11 billion or as low as 7 billion. These predictions are way down from just a decade ago.

What I thought to be the most promising part of the article:

Tessel created "a compiler that translated the JavaScript source to Lua and executed the translated code on the very compact Lua virtual machine on the microprocessor of the device".

Can't decide whether this is a good idea, or a terrible one.

Interesting link I found while googling for more info: http://www.forbes.com/sites/merrillbarr/2015/03/24/x-files-r...
http://bazel.io/docs/build-ref.html#rules
For example, cc_binary is a rule.
Rules are the things that know how to take whatever is specified as it's inputs, do something to them, then produce some specified set of outputs

Google has a large number of rules (IE far far more than just the rules you see in bazel).
As part of open sourcing, they have stared out by open sourcing about 10% of those rules.

Some of this is because they are google-entangled. Some of them don't make sense to the open source community.

What about bringing CSS declarations to the mix?

I have watched React Native talks in which they were advocating for this and bluntly calling it proper "separation of concerns".

But when you say that presentational markup and logic should be grouped together, doesn't this mean that we have to divide our js files even further to separate business logic from presentation or view logic?
We also recently released an early version of the Airtable API. It provides an API that's specific to each database you've configured in the app:

They should, but there are two problems:

1. You need your own car to be a Uber driver. Most regular drivers don't have their own cars. They usually drive for taxi operators who own the cars.

2. Most regular drivers don't have the financial literacy or even the bank accounts, tax documents, etc. needed to get a car loan.

After getting sick of using Golang in all my other side projects I decided to learn me some Rust and lazycli is the result!

I've always found it annoying to run something like `docker ps`, copy the container id, then type `docker stop <id>`. This tool lets you interact with `docker ps`, or any other command that spits out a static table or list of contents, as an actual TUI where you can select items and run commands on those items with keybindings.

Interested in people's feedback!
In Godot, you could create a ProjectileWeapon and then add a sub node that plays audio. I don't think that Godot's design limits what you can do at all, there's just a different way of doing the same thing.
The market is more liquid than it ever has been. But yeah, not as liquid as I or many others would like.

But if you really think it's gonna burst, there are plenty of eager sellers who would love to sell you some put options on LedgerX :) very above board, and the only CFTC-regulated physically settled BTC options exchange out there
There are a lot of arguments against Bitcoin, and the energy consumption argument has always struck me as the most asinine. It's an anchoring fallacy rooted in the fact that bitcoin's energy consumption is easy to estimate with a fair amount of confidence. However, because Bitcoin is easy and other industries are hard, we do not scrutinize the utility of any other industry in this way, though data suggests global video gaming is a comparable energy hog[1][2]. We have no way of estimating the energy consumption of the finance industry, and I wouldn't trust any attempt. Bitcoin is being compared to countries instead of other industries because it looks alarming, but many global industries that rely on energy look like this.

I hate pointing this out, because I get misconstrued as a Bitcoin supporter. I hold no Bitcoin, and I never have because of other principles. However, criticisms such as this one don't create constructive conversation, in my experience. Unless we want to start regulating what you can and cannot use energy for in your home, there's no point to thinking this way. The fossil fuel angle, in my mind, is simply a sign that we need to get off fossil fuels, Bitcoin or not.

[1] https://www.researchgate.net/publication/257768246_Electrici... - US energy consumption by video game consoles in the US alone was 16 TWh in 2010

[2] https://grist.org/article/video-games-consume-more-electrici... - Globally, PC gaming (not console gaming) was estimated at 75 TWh in 2018

Heck, switching to Signal wasn't high on my agenda list until the Whatsapp TC change suddenly made my entire Facebook Messenger contact list worry about these things - and now I'm completely off Messenger, but it took collective engagement.
I think twitter sees inactive accounts as accounts created for the purpose of circumventing the fake followers/anti-spam rules.

Same thing happened to me a while back.

I don't remember what I did to get it unsuspended. I think there as an email that I got, and I had to show some activity.
The magic thing that powershell has is that its objects are full .net objects so you can do method calls etc and not just structured data, so you can do stuff like

Get-Foo | % { $_.bar() }

Which is roughly equivalent to e.g. python

map(lambda x: x.bar(), getFoo())

Does murex have anything like that? Generally serializing objects (with methods) is to byte streams is not trivial nor without tradeoffs
This is great, but two things:

1) Where are you physically located? As I would want to move my API servers very close to the database for performance. Knowing which city and datacenter would help.

2) Please fix the logo in to the top left of your blog to go to your main website. It's a UI fail when logos do not go to the main website even when the blog is on a sub-domain.
A journalist's career depends on not doing that which is why you don't see very much serious criticism from journalists.
The last option seems the most likely.
Interesting. Lots of disk space and bandwidth, too. Looks like their acceptable use policy is a bit strict and baroque, tough. I'm also guessing the admin interface doesn't give nearly as much control as linode's (no other VPS providers I'm familiar with do).
It is the same thing, no? You could just downgrade back to your old ram, for less money.
I also have the feeling that everyone has switched to React or Vue. However, Angular is still taught at our university. But nice to see that there are still Angular developers out there !

Yes, "Cores operate at an average maximum clock frequency of 1.78 GHz, and they transfer data directly to each other rather than using a pooled memory area that can become a bottleneck for data."
