I don't know what to make of this. It has a lot of the same idiosyncrasies of a lot of other pseudo-scientific endeavors, with the 90's style website design, several spelling errors, a disproportionate amount of media coverage, poorly designed charts, jerry rigged lab setup, etc.

They always include a model of their "spacecraft" in every shot. In this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TKTsAa4sSs, they already have a pilot, random equations on the blackboard, and a spread of meters in front of the person speaking.

Their lead scientist is a physics student, who is the president UNO Paranormal Society.

It all seems rather fishy, but I'll withhold my judgement until someone comes and reproduces or falsifies their claims.
And also, for people who purport to care about urban sprawl, is pushing things farther out and increasing commutes a good answer?
This is one of the helpful online generator for web developers. Do you know any other online generator?
Thanks for the positive feedback! For your other points, it's useful to draw a comparison with slavery here I think.

1) Our stable, successfully post-slavery world (which I would argue ours largely is) isn't a world where everyone plays slavery-reenactment videogames and has slave dolls while secretly wishing they could still own the real thing. It's a world where people overwhelmingly concur that slavery was a reprehensible practice, where people are happy that slavery is no longer mainstream, and where the wish to hold slaves is a tawdry, extremely minority desire held only in absolute secret.

Similarly, a stable, successful post-animal cruelty world isn't a world where everyone eats mock meat and secretly wishes they could still eat the real thing. It's a world where people overwhelmingly realise that eating meat was actually always a disgusting, barbaric practice, that lead to countless inhumanity and injustice, and where people are glad that humanity has outgrown it.

2) The abolition of slavery was achieved because a vocal minority of people who cared pushed for it - not because they took the easy, meek route and tried to design slave-replacing mimics - "So servile you won't even notice the difference! Just as beatable but he'll never try and run away!" Similarly, for progress on meat to occur, people need to be supported, encouraged, and pushed to realise when they are behaving badly. That includes pointing out that in encouraging convincing substitutes for barbaric products, you implicitly condone the normative value of consuming that product in the first place, and you don't push people to feel disgust at the idea of even eating animal body parts.

3) Fake meat burgers are to meat-eating what methadone is to heroin. An uncomfortable, temporary fix, undoubtedly necessary, but not admirable or desirable in the long or even mid-term.

People are capable of trying to achieve something because it is right, not because it is easy or more convenient. Pushing people to realise that their behaviour is wrong and needs to change is always going to be harder than saying "hey, just eat this burger, it'll satisfy your need to eat cooked dead bodies, but avoid all those nasty side-effects" - but it's much, much more effective and important. And it does work, even if slowly. I turned vegan because I came across people speaking passionately for its necessity, and I hope everyone who believes in it as much I do has the courage to push equally as hard, even though it is always tempting to make concessions.

Edit: I'd also just like to say that living vegan is honestly not that hard. It's actually very fulfilling because you know that even as you're doing the right thing, you're also making it easier for others to do the right thing too, and as more people turn vegan, it becomes easier and easier for everyone. A nice positive feedback cycle.
The domain is dumb, Slack's hash logo is a nod to IRC and not Twitter. It doesn't represent tagging, it represents IRC channels.

Edit: hey hastagstartup.co downvote brigade, hashstartup.co is still available. So is hashstartups.com which is even better.
Because alcohol and gambling tend to be more addictive than cat food and toothbrushes.

It is not a good idea to force an ad for beer on an ex-alcoholic/someone trying to stop alcohol, for example.
Um, this is literally the open source process. This is how it's supposed to work.

Makes sense !

The tableau method when it was first introduced didn't seem like conventional linear algebra.

I found it odd though that we learnt machine learning topics BEFORE we learnt optimization theory. You would think that optimization theory would be taught before anything in Machine Learning. I found many topics in machine learning to be really opaque and it seemed it was just "try this model" without having a deep understanding of the mathematics or the reasoning behind them.

I think its because of all the media hype surrounding ML and my peers thinking its "cool".

Linear, Integer, and non-linear and dynamic programming really does fill that gap between conventional linear algebra and many of the topics in ML. I wish optimization theory was taught and emphasized more widely since its such an amazing topic.
This is exactly why I never overload such symbols, or at least I try to keep it at a minimum.
Format and reinstall OS, at least.
It seems, in some countries, people are just waiting for the next terrorist act to bring out new ways to undermine the principles of democracy.

Without privacy and the possibility to express one self without fear, democracy is not possible. We create monstrous systems that become bigger and bigger and destroy democracy from within.
I was heavily involved with CF back in the beginning version < 1, when it was an Allaire product, and at the time is had some good points, comparing it to perl, c or ASP of the time. But it has been blown away in nearly every segment but other languages and frameworks. Only think it might be better at is integration with flash, which no should care about...
Have worked on a few Big Data projects:
- Sensor Data from haul trucks to predict their failures and optimize their routes in the mines

You are unlikely to see them go public while it is forbidden to do so, but the list of people who used LSD includes some pretty interesting people.

Personally I run on sleep and quietness, but I think I would be able to put cannabis to good use when it becomes legal where I live. I have found that small quantities allow for a greater concentration on the condition that you refrain smoking to much and not drink any alcohol.
I work at Localytics. We have analytics data from billions of mobile and web users, including specific user actions, usage in general, and user profiles. It really is a fascinating dataset.
Well, do you know what has a bigger impact than seeing your coworker's salaries?

Seeing how much the customers of your company are billed for the job you do.
I'd still like a label that allows me to determine the difference between bottles of mineral water, soda water, tonic water, and lemonade.
Moreover, I never see these questions as just being a one-by-one trivia list for applicants. More of just a thing to look over, see the technologies that your app may use, and then use these questions as kinda a way to launch discussion with an applicant to see how well the know their stuff.

In 12 years and more than 10 clients I have yet to run into any developer so incompetent technically as not to be able to perform his/her job effectively. However, what I do run into are individuals who cannot conduct themselves appropriately, those who cannot work in teams, and those who overlook delivering the value for their client/employer that they were hired to deliver.

All of these individuals can code, no question. However, they are impediments to accomplishing the business goals that my teams are tasked with solving.

I find it interesting that everyone I know who has been terminated or laid off has been done so for reasons not related to technical ability, however technical ability is the majority of what's interviewed for.

I think it is much more important to hire people who can work with others and deliver the value desired, but yet this is not what most employers interview for. In my opinion, if I can get a credible recommendation that a candidate is technically competent, then I don't think spending an extra minute on technical questions is important. I would rather be sure they they are competent in all other aspects of the role.
> By this definition, every company stock is a multi-level marketing pyramid scheme.

No because the company's income doesn't come from selling more stock, but from selling valuable products. (Companies that don't have actual revenue are indeed multi-level marketing pyramid schemes and there are some of them around, but they're the exception rather than the rule).
Sounds more like you want to do Product Management than Product Owner, the latter of which I believe is more about running the agile process.

I don’t know the secret sauce for breaking in. I’m sure that once you are in your background will be super helpful. What I have noticed is that:

- applying for jobs as a PM has a very low response rate

- if a recruiter contacts you, then your chances are much improved

- most PMs I know somehow transitioned into it via some lateral type move

With the above in mind, I’d suggest:

- update your LinkedIn profile to say that you are interested in PM roles, maybe that would help with keyword matches

- contact recruiters directly

- see if you can switch to a PM role internally
I looked it up, and there’s been a motion to dismiss that was partially granted, but the case is still ongoing as far as I can see.
Yeah, never upgrade, fork and get the security updates somehow in that new fork.
Not very convenient.

Semver is not an excuse to break your clients.

The reason given was "code size and keeping the API surface small".
Both are bogus, especially since this is part of an optimizing compiler who will REMOVE unused code.
Leaving simple forward from goog.isArray to Array.isArray in there does not cost any maintenance, does not mean extra tests (you already have those) and does not mean your API surface is overblown.
Is that why every RMS post gets nuked from orbit no matter the comment count?
That’s a little harsh. Politically charged arguments are just not in the spirit of HN in dang’s opinion
I said "you don't pick BSD licensed projects because you liked restrictive licenses" not "you don't pick BSD licensed projects because you're excluded from restrictions on the license personally". FreeBSD literally made it's own form of permissive license, it's not in the ideology of those that work on it to make that non-permissive. If it were they'd work on literally any Unix kernel but the one that forged permissive licenses back in the day.
If I rob a bank and use a bunch of marked bills to buy a nice dinner, the restaurant doesn’t get to keep that money when the police come knocking, does it?
Law 101: Everything You Need to Know About American Law is pretty good to get a general idea.

You can decide which law books you want to read from civil procedure to business law depending on your needs at a later stage but mentioned book is a great start.
stephenou,I'm aware of this short-sight. However, I am building a start up and putting a lot of resources into it. I do not want to plan for scale, per se, but I wanted to see if there were rough points I could actually keep in mind when developing, as opposed to just building a prototype. I'm used to use hacking things together with php and mysql, so I wanted to try to be a little more formal this time around.
Directing programmers to hotspots based on programming info is pretty reliable. In your case, it depends on how confident the annotations are. The Self papers have a lot about that - JIT compilers can nonchalantly make riskier optimizations, because they can also easily undo them.
What about the iPhone/iPad dock connector? There's lots of interesting devices being hooked up to them.

For USB, what about barcode scanners and keyboards? It would be very interesting to see how they communicate with the computer and I figure it would be relatively simple, compared to say an external USB drive.
Oooooh, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
You say "answered" and then provide your opinion on the matter.

(Shrug) Don't ask questions if you don't want people to answer them.
I think the current GV app is really a stripped down version of the one that Google originally planned. Didn't Apple lambast the original GV because it took over the standard phone functions.

Native applications can be distributed by other means, and keep being installed after the owning company is long gone.
The media consistently uses "incorrectly", "baseless" and other such qualifiers when talking about the fraud allegations which they have NO DAMNED BUSINESS doing as a supposed neutral reporter of news. CNN cut away from one of the president's conferences on the matter, I guess because he was lying too much or something. Even Fox News turned off a feed of his press secretary, if I'm not mistaken.

I think it's perfectly fine for them to add commentary by pundits. If they believe the president to be lying, they have to do their best to give a competing narrative. But they can't be sticking their narrative into the objective part of the story. Trump said this. Election Official XYZ said this was incorrect because of that. That's it. If they claim something is objectively incorrect they'd better have a very solid basis for it.

I don't know if left-of-center people just don't notice it anymore, but anyone right-of-center feels like they're reading Pravda all the time these days.
What I dont get is how polarized the states currently is. It's either black or white. Red or Blue. Dems or Republicans. I tend to lean a little to the left myself, but people need perspective.
Biden is inheriting a mess, but what I liked was in his initial speech when he said "I dont care if you voted for me or not, I'll be your president". That sparks some hope and I hope it goes to unify the country
Mastery is when the code you wrote 6 months ago, or a year ago, or five years ago is still running, and not causing problems. Mastery is when the code you write brings long term benefits, and not future problems.

I've both seen and written code like that, so it does exist. Like anyone one else I've also written code that causes future problems. I believe I'm at a point in my career (25 years in) where I now write more of the former than the latter.
Run through the other exit if there's still time, and take the time to hide your id card so it's not visible. You don't want to be lynched.
On-package memory is not faster. I suspect it is more power efficient though.
The main point of the article is that even using a UUID for database objects, when other functions in the backend code query multiple classes of objects, those function signatures are poorly written, ex:

ban(id: uuid):
pass

There's no way for the reader to know what object the ID is referring to, and also the wrong object ID can be used in the function. Their solution is to wrap the ID in a type, which is correct, but did not continue writing that the function signatures in the backend code should be updated as well. Something like this should close the loop in the blog:

ban(id: UserId):
pass

Where the compiler can now check that a Team.id is not being passed in the method, only a User.id can be passed into the method.
Wire the funds offshore to a place more willing to look the other way for a small fee:do this a few times to other accounts in other countries, park the clean non-taxed cash offshore, get a cc or debit credit for the clean account...profit

Sure you spend sum cash on cleaning the funds, you're still not paying taxes on that cash win/win
Sorry I wasn't clear, I'm not making an argument for or against npm, only responding to the analogy.

But I wouldn't consider "we're already using X" to be sufficient reason to use X for something it wasn't designed around. Again, these choices are sticky and tend to be vulnerable to scope creep. I'd call it a textbook case of technical debt, and it's ok to point that out. They might have forestalled the criticism by acknowledging that, but they didn't.
There's a huge variation in default installs depending on which distro. He was asking which distro, not which kernel.
And in physics class they teach that all planes are frictionless.

Please don't disparage an entire field of inquiry simply because you either had a crappy econ class, or missed the point of simplifying assumptions.
Not an expert, but I'm delighted with the NexStar 5SE.

Yes, it's a rather small aperture, so you're limited in deep space objects. (But I still took pretty amazing pictures of various nebula, so it's still pretty cool)

It's compact - which was a large point for me. I don't have a giant thing sitting around. It's also able to travel in a (slightly large) carry-on, if we ever get to travel on airplanes again.

It's not-too-expensive ($650 when I bought it. Not cheap, but not a $5K tube either)

The autotracking is good enough for long exposure shots, calibration is super easy.

But all that said: Get a good pair of binoculars first. Get a star map. Learn your way around the sky. That time investment is well worth it.

For one, it means that for many objects you can skip all the calibration noise and just dial them in like the ancient pre-2000 people: By hand. Calibration is more setup, it's boring, I still dial in by hand when I can. And it's fun when you can just look at the night sky and know where stuff is.

Caveat: Astronomy is ultimately a very opinionated hobby. All of the answers I gave might be wrong for you.
Wait, you were uncapped until just last month? In my area the cap was only removed for 3 months total. They did generously raise it from 1TB to 1.2, though.
Agreed, it's a balance. I think replacing prop 13 with taxes deferable until sale would be a good step in the right direction.
Moving goalpost.
It'd be really hard to justify half billion dollars a year to just re-skin Chromium.
PayPal literally limits/bans your account if you have the word "Iran" in a transaction, lol.
No matter how slow bitcoin gets it never goes down. Absolute worst case scenario is a steep difficulty curve that takes awhile to fall back down, only slowing block production.

Edit: in order for it to get "so slow its stopped" more than half of the miners would need to go offline and not rejoin for hours.
Well, for one, with iTerm2 I don't have to use visor, the app itself handles this. To be totally honest with you though, iTerm1/2 over Terminal.app hasn't really been that big of a change, I mostly like the improved key-settings and the theming. What motivated that change was that I was having a lot of trouble with getting the modifier keys do what I wanted, as strange as that sounds. Changing to iTerm just fixed it, and I liked what I saw, so there never was any reason for me to go back and figure out what I did wrong.

The biggest change by far for me was going from TextMate to MacVim/vim, which has boosted my programming speed immensely (after the usual month of pure frustration and all development grinding to a near halt).
We love our work too.

We just think it should stay at work, during sustainable working hours.
A couple of centuries before that, the Roman Empire was disintegrating and Romano-Britons were regularly kidnapped by Gaelic Irish slavers. After a number of years, one of these slaves escaped but later returned to Ireland as a missionary and was successful in kick-starting the Christianisation of the Irish. In Christian Ireland, slaves gained more rights which eventually, as I understand it, lead to a decrease in slavery. Patrick is now our patron saint.

>Which is actually where Picard season 2 falls down: by placing the debates in 2024 America

Picard is a character study of Jean-Luc Picard. It's about him, his motivations, his trauma, his coming to terms with his legacy, etc. They literally named the series after him. The 'debates' about fascism and destiny and whatever the hell is up with Q are just a dark mirror of whatever Picard has to realize about himself and move on from this season.
The State here is literally the State of Florida that is using its power to ban materials that it claims (without evidence) contains something bad, called “crt” (without even describing what is bad). And they’re not the bad actors in your mind?
This gets even murkier when you consider that grant award and citation statistics are correlated only like 0.3 or something.

It's the Matthew effect multiplied by Goodhart's law.
You're looking at the bribe amounts and thinking about how unfair it is with a heaping side of $PARTISANATTACKOFTHEDAY while to me it looks like it was _preparation for a future assassination attempt_ no matter what the amount-we-know-about is. (BTW, what we're seeing is probably the tip of the iceberg).

I really don't approve of $CURRENTPRESIDENT but I'm much more disturbed, profoundly so, that we're possibly letting what looks like a serious assasination team out on bail.
Those aren't really examples. They are people talking about the topic but what is the actual change proposed that is related to CRT?
Well, if you are not a professional investor, you'd better stick to savings accounts or invest in a index but not in individual assets. Investing as a non-professional is akin to doing surgery on you own body while not being a surgeon.

Given his reluctance to give his name, this is highly likely to be what's happening here.
That's a funny story. :)
In my experience, a memory win takes place because you can use something lighter weight (ADTs) to model your data as opposed to something that consumes additional memory (objects or a record of bound functions) simply to get the type system to accept your code.

Furthermore, when using ADTs to store your data (and constructing modules that operate on them) I believe the resolution to the functions that operate on them are entirely done at compile time, not run time - whether or not that is being capitalized on is a different story, but I believe it has benefits now and will have even more later as the compiler authors continue to add more optimizations.
Ozzie's comment is great. Well worth the read.
horsestaple?

I was translating on the first tour of your office to some japanese exchange students, and if I recall correctly, you guys had different rooms that implied different levels of 'don't interrupt' vs 'really don't interrupt me', right?
This I agree. Furthermore, you should be able to do such a community by a local network (LAN) instead of using the internet, if you wish. (Free software has this advantage, too; if it does not already do that, you could change it to work.) (Also, some tournaments might be set up in a room in a building; there, they can have dedicated computers.)
> What, you want a druggie at the controls of lethal weapons?

I've got some bad news, ...
I used to live in Latin America and I would avoid hiring shoe-shiner kids in spite of them following me each day. I thought it was sad to see these kids working at such an early age and thought hiring them would be me exploiting them. In hindsight I should’ve just hired them, they need the money. it’s horrible people live in poverty and have to work such jobs, but IMO hiring them helps them more than not hiring them.
I never reflected on that until you mentioned it. It seems even when someone does attempt a joke here, I always wonder why the comment hasn't been down voted away. It's just not that venue, I guess.

Which is a shame, because smart folks are often some of the funniest.
There's FSF's article on SaaSS. It's more about lending hardware resources. You wouldn't download a computer.
