Like with everything, it depends. The part that can block you is your dependencies. You might be willing to add annotations to your entire codebase, but not to code you depend on. A way to get around this is to make the annotation optional, but that then means that you're perpetually torn between to diverging ecosystems. TypeScript is an example of how it can be done, but I would also point at C where there's no such thing as a "String". You can include your own String type that avoids memory unsafety through a well thought out API, even without changing anything in the language itself, but at some point you'll have to interact with an existing library that doesn't know about your String.
Both Parkinson's and Dementia with Lewy Bodies mostly occur without family history, so the test may not say much anyway.

That and restaurant work sucks. Pay is low, turnover is high. Not surprising that restaurants are almost all constantly hiring, if they are doing enough business to be open.
>Trying to physical destroy copies only resulted in a somewhat burned laptop, and maybe made someone to release an "insurance file".

If you buy the plausible argument that this was a UK govt leak designed to discredit Snowden while stating that the stolen information and the handling of it is a national security threat, then the grandiose and very public destruction of the hard drives actually makes sense. It was the gov't calling attention to its "attempt to destroy the information to limit harmful disclosure." The public grandstanding of that act would be a sensical precursor to a controlled leak of the sort the Independent published.
Yes. But this shows the limitations of of carbon offsets. carbon is fungible, but the land destruction and resources extraction isn’t to the same degree. I guess what is the perceived goal vs actual goal of a carbon offset?
It's theatre politics at its finest. A great show on how this looked almost scripted even when everyone knew that the 'nothing' was coming all along.

The only ones who didn't follow the mainstream media script was Mitch McConnell who did a last minute twist for acquitting the ex-president after being in favour of the trial weeks ago and the Democrats who u-turned for calling up witnesses.

Unless you had a crystal ball or a soothsayer besides you, anyone would be lying to you if they expected that those specific u-turns would happen in the trial.

But I have to say that this whole trial was a great shakespearian play. Well done to the actors, clowns and the assistants helping those with symptoms of stage fright put together a dramatic sequel to the first impeachment trial, ending with another 'disappointing' acquittal.
Oddly sometimes.. XML syntax can be a bit more readable than JSON
Ah yes let’s get bogged down in silly “rationalism” like this. Because of course before you can determine whether they under- or over-use force, you need to determine the _proper_ level of force in each circumstance. And let me tell you it’s going to depend case-by-case! And gosh since it’s so hairy to determine whether something was over- or under-use of force, let’s just broadly leave it up to the officers’ discretion.

Lol. This is exactly how white supremacy & other power structures reinforce themselves
I read this article when it was first published last weekend... and I'm a believer that Excel Lambda and JS/TS integration are a very beneficial tool for the right reason.

Excel is now just another front end. But it's a powerful front end. One can build typescript/js packages that in turn can be used by server apps/web clients/react native clients/jupyter clients/etc. - and now Excel clients.

I can see building solutions for 'self-service of data to power users/knowledge workers' - that makes those front ends in Excel more powerful. A couple of scenarios pop out to me:

- Using a query tool over data to populate an existing (pre-formatted) Excel template with data.
- Using a query tool over data that helps set user define data for lookup/pivot tables.

Not revolutionary but certainly evolutionary - where Excel can be a tool for working on a less commoditized stack.

I'd probably be happier if it was easier to check in a spreadsheet to a repo and be able to see the changes...
Are you serious?

Occam's Razor says the only (non-vet) BSL4 lab in China, studying bat coronaviruses, several miles from known first virus reports, that has had multiple previous virus leaks, with huge information shutdown by China for a year, is the more plausible culprit.
Building on this, when purist engineers trash Excel, I point out that Excel cell formulas are the only case of Functional Programming going truly mainstream.
Not to forget for the people doing studies to be able to publish and deliver something... Losing the income is quite big incentive to get out studies that at least on surface look good.

When I click on the URL bar I often want to edit it too.

But it's difficult to click the leftmost or rightmost character to position the cursor.

So after clicking, I usually tap Ctrl+A (Cmd+A) to "select all" anyway, and then tap left-arrow or right-arrow to deselect and jump to the chosen end of the URL.

Cursor keys only junp to the end if it's selected. My keyboard doesn't have dedicated home/end keys, but I'd probably use the select-all-then-arrow trick anyway.

Putting aside the good-plane/bad-plane discussion, this program is the poster child for one of my pet wishes: that the costs of government programs would be expressed in $/tax-payer. There are about 100M tax payers in the US; this program is expected to cost about $1,500,000M; so the F35 program is expected to cost about $15,000 per tax payer. True: that's over 50 years; still, un-discounted, that's $300/year/tax-payer.

The Covid bailout last year was about $60,000 per tax payer (https://www.covidmoneytracker.org/). How much of your $60,000 did you see?

I'm not arguing for or against these programs; I'm arguing for expressing them in comprehensible terms. $6,000,000,000,000 societal total; or $60,000 for you. Do you expect to receive $15,000 of value from the F35 program? I'm not sure I won't: perhaps it'll keep oil/energy prices stable and I spent well more than $300/year on energy...

It could be that at the time GTA online first publishes, the list as hashmap isn't too much of an issue, due to limited catalog, but get progressively worse as the inventory grows.

Ofc this is just a hypothesis, but I see the hesitation to change legacy code if it ain't broken as a wide spread mentality.
> Yes. Yes, it is actually reasonably hard to coordinate 18+ kids and thier familes (thats the minimum size for two baseball teams), have an experienced adult coach them, and hire a referee (if that is judged to be necessary), coordinate field usage, advocate for local governments to set aside sports and play space and protect existing space from development.

How did people coordinate this before the invention of all these digital communication devices that we now find our selves so desperately dependent on like we're stuck in The Matrix?
I'm surprised this post didn't mention the ui components (front end code in whatever framework they use) in the system. in my experience, a design system thag only caters to designers will get little adoption, particular in larger organizations that could benefit from having a system in place.

in my experience the designers built a sophisticated system they used to streamline the design process across teams and projects, but it felt short during handoff with those teams that didn't have the resources to build new components.
> We need a publicity machine to remind people that cops do many positive things and pay great sacrifices.

This is the status quo. The Internet is full of these stories; the front page of reddit, for example, almost always has a GIF of a cop doing a kickflip for some kids or helping an old lady cross the street or something. Turn on the local news; cops are universally praised and shown to be the "good guys" fighting criminals and keeping us safe. Nearly every TV show or movie has cops as the good guys, or at least not the bad guys. Football games will show cops on the jumbotron during the national anthem, and public figures regularly praise police for their supposed sacrifices for everyone's safety.

What more propaganda could you possibly want? The mainstream narrative in all forms of mass media is that cops are the good guys. Even on social media there is a lot of reluctance to admit that the police are systematically discriminatory and militarized. The fact of the matter is that policing is a brutal, discriminatory system and always has been, and people have begun to accept this much more openly than in the past.

The international community as HNers know is just part of whole international community, all western countries. There is another part ignored by English media audience. I would speculate that most HNers see the other part as naive , bribed by China , or evil while Western countries are the owner of final truth and stand on the high moral ground. Totally exclude other possibilities.

My speculation about YC is that there are always something beyond our understanding so they choose not to make judgement for time being. If that's the case I applaud their altitude. Modern human have serious cognitive defects in my view.

Usually the informants in AQAP/ISIS cases are Lebanese immigrants with legal problems. They are paid handsome commissions to ensnare people who otherwise would have nothing to do with these organizations as well as the vulnerable. See, the Liberty City 7 case.
I've heard e-fuses in general are vulnerable to optical inspection under polarized light after deliding a part. So if someone capable really wanted to clone a device, it's very possible they already were able to get the e-fuse key values.

I once used the e-fuse feature of another part for bootloader integrity. I wasn't worried about encryption, but the part would validate the bootloader integrity when encrypted. If integrity failed, the part would keep searching for a valid image. It was an easy way for some protection against flash corruption.
No. There are ready to go out of the box proxy tools that rely only on you thinking this proxy is really the site you wanted, and then your TOTP, SMS message, any of these third rate second factors get phished.

The reason Security Keys (ie WebAuthn/U2F) doesn't get phished in this scenario is that the human's worthless opinion about whether this is the correct site isn't used by these technologies. Your WebAuthn credentials submitted to the utterly convincing phishing site fake-bank.example don't work for your real-bank.example login and the phishing fails.
I think the answer is that "just building in costs" is actually rather hard to get right.

Concrete Problems in AI Safety (Section 6 in particular is about safe exploration)

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.06565.pdf

Quote:

In practice, real world RL projects can often avoid these issues by simply hard-coding an avoidance
of catastrophic behaviors. For instance, an RL-based robot helicopter might be programmed to
override its policy with a hard-coded collision avoidance sequence (such as spinning its propellers to
gain altitude) whenever it’s too close to the ground. This approach works well when there are only
a few things that could go wrong, and the designers know all of them ahead of time. But as agents
become more autonomous and act in more complex domains, it may become harder and harder to
anticipate every possible catastrophic failure. The space of failure modes for an agent running a
power grid or a search-and-rescue operation could be quite large. Hard-coding against every possible
failure is unlikely to be feasible in these cases, so a more principled approach to preventing harmful
exploration seems essential. Even in simple cases like the robot helicopter, a principled approach would simplify system design and reduce the need for domain-specific engineering
i think part of what's going on here is that everyone is taking the position of disliking a mandate to eat with your coworkers, which is arguably a troubling thing.

When i interned at pentagram's ny office, one of the nice things was lunch, which was served tue-thu. It was totally optional and you could eat with members from your team or others, whatever. It sounds similar to what you're describing and i thought it worked really well, i liked it, and it always bummed me out a little when it wasn't there on those bookend days. sometimes i'd be busy during lunch and there might be something waiting in the kitchen or i'd go out to eat with a friend.

I don't think it really works if you force this sorta thing, but if the food is compelling (i really liked the cheese, personally) and everyone's on good terms, i think the staff lunch works really well. the exception here is if there's a toxic team member or individual, which i think really sours the experience and which many people may be also reacting to.

When i worked as a line cook, staff lunches were also equally gratifying, but for entirely different reasons.
It's a perfectly valid usage that does not at all necessarily imply political assassinations or other despicable. No reasonable person would interpret her post's title as claiming any kind of equivalence with political assassination, and any suspicion of that wouldn't survive a cursory reading of the actual post.

Also, Ms. Boyd holds a PhD from the Berkeley School of Information and is a well known & respected Microsoft researcher in social networking & media and online identity. The professional interest in not having broken links to her writings alone is sufficient to remove this matter from the realm of "personal vanity," nevermind the more substantive yet slippery matters of identity.
Mike Monteiro gave a recent talk discussing how he handles client payments and in particular dealing with contracts. It's not only an entertaining talk but has some good information as well.

http://vimeo.com/22053820

As for me, In the past when dealing with smaller clients I always get some money up front (usually 50%) to "cover costs" along the way. In your case it's difficult to justify too much time chasing down $400 so you might be better off thinking about that as money spent on learning to be a contractor and quickly move on to the next job.
Thanks for repeating for me, this is fascinating. Do you have a link to the source information for this?
My feeling on the Fire phone was just that they build the wrong phone for their audience. They built the Moto X when they should have built the Moto G.

There is a market for a really solid Android phone for say $150 off contract. Amazon could have partnered with any number of prepaid providers and also normal providers to have "the best deal in wireless".

They built a whole market around driving down prices and reaching a mass audience, then they compete with top end phones. If the Kindle Fire was $500, it would have flopped. The $600 Fire Phone DID flop.

It feels like Kindle tech's value proposition is quality technology at an unbeatable price. The Fire Phone didn't hit that at all.
> In my opinion after a certain level, all knowledge is multi-disciplinary, and the boundaries of what constitutes roots, branches, leaves is extremely fuzzy. Also the distinction between theory and practice makes the boundaries even fuzzier.

Of course. I think this is the point of this learning style. After learning the first principles of various topics, the broad web that is higher knowledge is available to you.

Suppose, for instance, I wanted to learn how computer science worked from first principles. This study involves math, electronics, physics, and many, many more subjects. To accomplish this, I would pick one of the key, pure tenets and learn it. Let's say I choose math. I would then learn the key things I need to know about math and then move to electronics and physics, and etc. After knowing these, I could confidently approach the "web" of computer science because I have anchorpoints.

I think it's safe to view higher knowledge as a web supported by the anchors of "pure" subjects. After a while, these higher subjects are built upon and become pure topics themselves. Epistemology and the classification of knowledge is really a fascinating topic.
Sony's Y Series uses the ultra-low voltage version of Core2 Duo, consuming about 10W with a 13" LCD. No internal disc, but Ubuntu and FreeBSD are easily installed via USB stick...

Unfortunately, Sony Y Series inventory has been depleted, so it's not listed on the US sonystyle website today. A chat with their sales rep indicated that the product line will return soon. Other series also seem to have limited inventory, so a full product line refresh seems due soon!

However, after reading other people's concerns (above) regarding Linux drivers and VT disabled, I'm reconsidering. A friend has the current F series (i7) running Linux just fine, btw.
Better explanation: "John D. Rockefeller, who became the world’s first billionaire in 1916, a sum equal to $30 billion today, adjusted for inflation. In a sense, this underestimates the oil scion’s wealth. By the time Rockefeller died in 1937, his assets equaled 1.5% of America’s total economic output. To control an equivalent share today would require a net worth of about $340 billion dollars, more than four times that of Bill Gates, currently the world’s richest man."

Uhm. Why would food delivery be allowed during a lockdown? What's the point of it, then? Especially when considering the production of the food which needs 'unlocked' preparators.

Seen like that it is no difference to rush fast and masked through some supermarket, or emergency food collecting point by the red cross, military, FEMA or something.

edit: I mean why should food delivery services being exempt from being locked down? Makes no sense to me when it's just for convenience and not part of emergency distribution, or when other, though limited options exist.

So do I take it that the twenty solar mass figure they were talking about in the article is not the (currently understood) upper limit to stellar black hole mass, but refers to something else?

The line I'm referring to is "...Astronomers know of a few dozen black hole X-ray binary systems in the Milky Way and nearby, all of which have imputed masses of less than 20 times that of the sun. That apparent limit suggested that it was hard for black holes to grow more massive..."

Even if it uses views, it still binds your data storage to your RESTful API. If you use such an application, it won't be possible to move some data to other data storage, such as Redis, to normalize some data, for example, without modifying all your client's applications.

If you create an endpoint (object) based API, you will be able to modify it the way you like, and if you change your data storage, your client's applications won't even know that you modified your internal databases.

EDIT Please keep in mind that my comments are only valid if you are building an API that you will have to maintain on a long term basis. Otherwise, this project is great... like I said in another comment, I'll probably use it for simple "build and forget" projects.
Two suggestions for csv -> api:

1. Parse: http://blog.parse.com/2012/05/22/import-your-csv-data-to-par...

2. csv to api https://github.com/project-open-data/csv-to-api

Though if your data really is as simple as a single table (a csv files tend to be), you could probably put together a sinatra or express app in a day or two depending on your skill level.
