I agree that Scala will never be a good replacement for languages Ruby both because of its complexity and the fact that dynamic languages are always going to be more flexible than statically typed languages. The fact that majority of new languages are in fact dynamic ones is also a good indication of the inherent difficulty in designing a good statically typed language. Scala is a much grander project in scope than Clojure, Ruby, Python, Groovy, or pretty much any of the dynamic languages sprouting up on the JVM probably ever will be. For instance, because these languges are dynamic, they don't care to deal directly with things like the cost of autoboxing, the price of type erasure, the ugly hackery that is java arrays, and so on. Life is simple when everything is of type Object! Of course, this grander scope comes with a cost, and that cost is language complexity.

In my opinion, Scala's aim is to take on Java by providing a much more overall productive language than Java while still maintaining Java's performance. I feel it's very much akin to the goals of C++ versus C. Fortunately, the people behind Scala are well versed in PL theory and make sensible language design decisions, so at this point Scala is in little danger of someone writing an FQA on it any time soon.
The sweet revenge in this all is that the job poster will likely spend $120 ten times over churning through under-qualified programmers who think they can get the job done based on his description :)
I imagine that realistically that information remains confidential for the five minutes it takes attendees to email to their inner circles, and it spreads from there.
Thats helpful, the OpenCV website only has Linux and Windows.
I am having trouble finding an exact study, but i believe the studies have shown that you pick it up easier before a certain age (languages are like this too apparently) and if you do, your brain will pick it up easier later on.

Its not hard/fast, but I think its just a huge leg up
The high sides are for overall stiffness, compensating for the flat sheet steel, which is for cheap manufacturing.
Would there be a setting to disable this for consensual “groping” ?
Also sometimes you have to go 'backwards' for whatever reason. You find the exact same issues.

Not as bad as it used to be but also just moving between platforms and staying on the same framework and things would act different. Because something in the OS layer was different. I ran into this quite a bit in python 2.x. Where windows and linux methods would be slightly different just because of underlying assumptions about how things like files were opened. That was when I learned your code is only as good as the std lib your platform provides. Take for example c++. The language itself is not terribly big. But that stdlib that goes with it (whew). Then you wonder would c++ be worth anything if that lib was not there?
Front-End Developer | HigherMe (YC W2015) | https://higherme.com | Boston, MA | ONSITE | Full-time

HigherMe is removing the grind of finding and staffing hourly jobs. Job-seekers only have to fill out one application for thousands of jobs positions. They don’t even have to apply for jobs themselves as employers can reach out instead. Our platform helps both sides in this process with features like text-to-apply and job interview scheduling while employers can easily keep track of applicants all the way to the on-boarding process.

Our engineering department is looking for a junior/mid-level front-end developer to help us roll-out the multitude of features we have planned. We work in a pretty standard React.js/Webpack stack with Alt.js providing our flux implementation. We’re looking for someone who has made something interesting with React on the side and understands their way around a single page app.

We’ll start the interview process with a phone interview followed by coming into the office.

Apply at Angelist: https://angel.co/higherme/jobs/100150-frontend-developer
Where able, but its poor treatment of SWIG makes interfacing with standard tooling a royal pain. In many cases, I've rewritten Numba code in Cython or C for this very reason.
If Go, not Julia, replaces Python it would be a joke.
what is the goal of your testing?
They're doing this to the extremely radical parts not the whole ethnic group.

Like the governor of the region was a Uighur last time I checked.
I'd love to have this feature. Does anyone know if this is somehow possible with ddg?
> Google would be capable of transitioning to a business model that respects people's privacy. If they would want to, they could flourish under such model.

Why are you so sure it's easy for Google to pivot away from their trillion dollar business model?
Everything is 80% garbage. That's a law of nature.
A bit surprised it's not higher than that. Who browses the App Store?
Completely off topic, but can someone provide a layman's pronunciation of "Uigher?" As someone who is not a linguist, the pronunciation squiggles in the Wikipedia entry are entirely unhelpful.
Please remove this nonsense. Ethnic groups are not cults.
Quora is far from being the best Q&A system ever (the best was Aardvark, bought and killed by Google) but it provides many interesting clues today. I've found quite a lot of very useful and rather unique information there. It seemed quite dead back in the days I've first tried it (looking for something to replace Aardvark) as nobody would answer my questions but the things seem very different today.
That is my point, it was out of pure curiosity. The equivalent of rubber necking. Her article is on prison conditions, are you going to believe her more based on her crime or something? It has no relevance.
it's obvious negativity in comments aren't good for karma, but stories with negative premise is unclear to me.
Yup. I have a friend who goes to Google, types "facebook.com," then proceeds. I mean the whole facebook.com
Hi funcDropShadow, that's a good point. We really want to expand to other language pairs (e.g. German-Spanish). In fact we are also not native English speakers :)
We're not pets, we're the sex organs of AI. Why do I say that? AI is not a self replicator, but we are. AI can't bootstrap itself from cheap ordinary stuff laying around (yet), and when it will be able to self replicate it will owe that ability to us, maybe even borrow from us.

And secondly, you make the same mistake with those who say after automation people will have nothing to do. Incorrect, people will have discovered a million new things to do and get busy at them. Like, 90% of people used to be in agriculture and now just 2%, but we're ok.

When AI becomes better than us at what we call art now, we'll have already switched to post-AI-art, and it will be so great we won't weep for the old days. Maybe the focus will switch from creating to finding art, from performing to appreciating and developing a taste, from consuming to participating in art. We'll still do art.
Yeah, I'm not buying it. I would rather pay $100 to a professional for a couple of hours of manual work on my CV than try my luck with a free service which sells my information.
It's probably a reference to this meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pepe-silvia
I am reminded of Watergate, which I think a lot of people don't realize was about planting wiretaps in the Democratic National Committee headquarters. It led to Nixon's resignation and it has left us with a legacy of adding "-gate" onto the end of all kinds of things (a la "GamerGate").

As a child, I knew Watergate was a scandal that impacted the presidency. I think I was an adult before I learned it involved wiretapping. I remember being rather surprised to learn some of the details as an adult.

We actually borrowed more money to pay the interest on our debt. America is borrowing about 40 cents of every federal dollar spent.
FWIW and I’m not an AI and this is a much smaller question...

But there was a little test that ran around a few years back that was just “Is this smile genuine or not” and I was able to identify 20 out of 20 pictures real and fake smiles.

The pictures were gathered by asking subjects to smile and then taking the picture or taking a picture after they responded to a joke, so I guess there is still room for some of the “genuine” smiles to be faked.
HIIT means all-out sprints with short rests in between, but that's (unfortunately) not how it's presented in social media sometimes. No matter your shape, running all-out sprints in that particular way will get you to the max heart rate. It's just there are too many people misusing the word now.
I know how to rebase, reset, cherry-pick, stash, reflog, assume-unchanged, and many other advanced techniques.

I still prefer to add/commit/branch/merge. I often copy-paste changes into a new branch, just because I don't enjoy recalling arcane commands from memory or googling them for the umpteenth time.

I suspect that git is a leaky abstraction that doesn't fit the corporate software development workflow. I think that git is a hammer and non-distributed development is the screw we're hitting with it.
I honestly find this page difficult to look at and read. It may be high contrast but that yellow is really hard on my eyes and does not make me excited to spend a long time on the site.
And it turns out DIY atomic force microscopes are possible too! (e.g., [1]) It's probably less likely to get all the way to atomic resolution (0.01nm) like a scanning tunneling microscope, but atomic force microscopes can take many types of 1-to-1000nm-scale measurements and are often more practically useful.

Not Fortran, in which you originally needed to SHOUT, though you couldn't go SHOUTING? It was good enough to implement one of the earliest RDBs, after all, which sounds business-like.
> They are based on a sound theory of patches, which allows for operations not supported by Git like commuting, as long as the commits aren't interdependent.

This is definitely supported by git. Even though commits may technically be snapshots, you can build a diff from snapshots (and vice versa). `git diff` will get you the diff for any given commit, and `git rebase` will happily reorder commits for you by reapplying the diffs.
Sprint up hill or grab onto straps and try repeated jumps into the air from a deep squat. Try adding a weighted vest if this isn't enough. If that doesn't work you should join the Navy Seals.
This is what's so great about art IMO. You can craft a piece with deep personal meaning, or a totally frivolous piece, and it can be perceived in infinitely many ways by others according to their own worldview and life experience. I wish I could know what it feels like to learn a new interpretation of your own work on a regular basis. Beauty, eye, beholder.

It sounds somewhat equally exciting to, and less frustrating than, releasing software and seeing all the ways people break it.
Let's be honest here. If Adolf came to your town carrying a US Flag and a Bible you would be first in line to cheer at his rally.
As defined in the Geneva convention, genocide also includes forced sterilisation and removal of children from parents.

Also, what do you expect the end result of mass incarceration in prison camps to be, other than mass graves?
Musk really said the white interior is durable? Maybe they got a deal on white material and wanted to sucker people into buying it.
> Just an absolute heap of fear-driven misinformation

The vast majority of links are just to metastudies and literature reviews. If you think the Cochrane review studies or whatever are fear-driven misinformation then you should complain to them for creating them, not me for posting them.

Literally today Trump put out a statement saying that he's considering just sending everyone back to work and letting everyone get it all at once.[1] If that happens then the medical system basically won't even exist for 90% of people. What exactly do you propose that people should do in that scenario, just sit around drinking Gatorade and waiting to die?

One theory I've heard is that it is not the virus itself that kills you, but your immune system overreaction causing secondary damage which leads to infections. So the antibiotic might be aimed at that part? Just a guess.
> I have a strong feeling that the added complexity of Kubernetes does not give most use cases a net payoff for hobbyists.

Kubernetes is a tool to setup and manage computer clusters comprised of COTS hardware, and also manage how processes are deployed and ran on it. That's not exactly your typical hobbyist's scale.
It should look fine in 3x mode although it's a waste of GPU.
Hey, I am interested. Have worked at Udemy(a PHP e-commerce shop at the time) where I built a lot of cool products like the course feed, notifications, wishlist and note-taking. Also built multiple e-commerce platforms on my own from scratch, one was being used on onedio.com one never saw the day light.

Also built an investment platform for cryptocurrencies.
I think we might be a great fit. Can send screenshots of what I have built before. Can also send a CV.

Do you mean all essential employees?
Our son went from boatschooling to regular school so is pretty well versed in remote and online learning. Part of the problem is he enjoys the social interaction that he could only get from meeting other kids (majority of cruisers are much older and retired). He's a lot more nimble about remote learning than I give him credit for.

He's taking it pretty well has a lot of experience in offline and online remote learning. He's a teenager now and I'm watching eat everything in the fridge. When my mom used to joke about needing to put a lock on the refrigerator, now I get it!
Adder WS also has a 15 inch 4k model. I have one and use it for work. Definitively not the ultimate portable machine but I use it mostly at home and the office plugged in.

I wouldn't say it's the best option for everyone but if you need a machine with discrete GPU and high resolution that you know for sure will run Linux (many gaming laptop have similar spec but non supported RAID setup) then I'd say go for it.

If you want a portable laptop then dell's developer edition got 4k and good specs.
Different cancers are different. Skin cancer, both basal cell and melanoma, is usually caused by the sun. Other cancers have a very strong genetic correlation. This study did not consider the most common cancer in men, prostate cancer, or breast cancer. It's interesting that random cell division is such a strong factor in cancer, but it is completely incorrect to say that luck has a bigger effect than behavior for all types of cancer.
The formatting on that page makes it very difficult to read. The text is overflowing its column and the 'share with twitter' bar on the left covers left had side text and I can't get rid of it. I'm on chrome, mac.

The content sounds interesting, but the page has been formatted poorly.

Social choice theory?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_choice_theory
I made up "Additive" to introduce the idea of different types all having a single operator in common, rather than as a concrete Haskell-ish thing.

Its purpose here is to focus on the right level of abstraction when thinking about what a monad is, particularly when coming from languages like Java, C++, C#, etc.
I was curious about this as well. It looks like in some cases, the "trail" is the shoulder of major highways, and the unplanned sections don't show much promise of solutions. I was hoping that unplanned sections were comprised of tracks (decommissioned or not) and just needed a plan to move forward with. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case.

I've watched this program for a while, but I don't know that much about it. I work with permitting agencies for local events, and I cannot fathom the scope of a project like this. Hopefully someone else has better insight.
I know Patrick Reams- he is a semi well known ‘thought leader’/speaker in my industry. (Energy and Commodity markets) interesting to see what comes of this. What scares me is that somehow amazon knows where to send the 1099 but for whatever reason can’t let him access his account or otherwise verify his financial institution details? This doesn’t add up to me.
Python also lets you do this, definitley a nice bit of sugar

```
In [2]: b = 15;
In [3]: a = 40 if b == 15 else 99;
In [4]: a;
Out[4]: 40;
```
I wonder if media will call this a coup much like they label other countries.
Relevant for current events, but maybe not for Hacker News? Unless by hacker you mean "the person who hacks the door down".
As WMF mentions, Tiger Lake laptops like my Razer Book have the same memory. It is not appreciably closer to the CPU in the Apple design. In Intel's Tiger Lake reference designs the memory is also in two chips that are mounted right next to the CPU.
I’m a bit confused, are you using WebRTC for the peer to peer connection or not? If you’re not, doesn’t that imply a server in the middle that all data is sent through? Sorry don’t mean to be challenging, just want to understand how people work in this space!
What do these protestors hope to accomplish?
Number two is an insight i hadn't considered, so thanks for sharing.

Isn't one of the things that generally makes Apple's products arguably great is that the hardware is designed to be true to its purpose, and the marketing campaign is an entirely separate and often equally brilliant thing, also true to its purpose...
Like um.... gasp Java?!
I like this book.
http://www.bignerdranch.com/book/iphone_programming_the_big_...

I've struggled through other iOS dev books and, for me, this one has been the most clear.
Have to ask: what's the app? If it something thats not only popular buy well thought of -- well, you can always mention in an interview how you're unhappy with it and how you'd improve it today.

Most programmers - myself included - look at things we did last year, two years ago, etc and think "how awful is this?". I've yet to meet someone who doesn't.
Nice to hear about all the open source projects that went into this. I'd hope that the work that IBM did on those projects was contributed back to them and not just squirled away on some mainframe.
The app switch list is designed as a convenient way to switch to the most-recently-used apps. If you have to scroll 6 times to find an app, then you're not switching to a MRU app, but a LRU app instead. In that case, finding the app icon in springboard will likely be faster. Clearing the list is a symptom of misusing the feature.
Speaking from experience, becoming a "good" UX designer has definitely taken me at least 5,000 hours already. In that time, I did plenty - specifically, I made a whole bunch of UIs that, for one reason or another, sucked.

In time, the more designs I made, the more I started to develop an intuition for things that worked or didn't work. Not to mention that before I learned how to design, I had to learn how to listen to my users - and before I could do that, I needed to learn to check my ego at the door and realize that even as the "designer", it didn't mean I knew a darn thing about what my design should look like until I talked to them (and sometimes, not designing what I originally "wanted" to design as a result). Yes, there are definitely skills involved in "doing" things that are hard to train, and there's a sense of "natural" talent - but with enough effort, even a computer science major like myself can pick up those skills.

And conversely, the hours you spend doing design are hours that are necessarily taken away from other things you want to be an expert on. Like NoSQL databases, or sleep. :)
That phrase has been uttered before.
Everyone has their own ways of thinking and believing. Once you start to get rid of the labels — agnostic, atheist and believer — you can really listen to others. I’ve met far too many people who called themselves one way and later understood how unfitting was such label to their assumptions.

Unfortunately, the quest for the true nature of the universe has been reduced to Scriptures and the yes/no question "Do you believe in God?". The human mind is biased toward dualism, so it feels natural to talk about something as a competition of two mutually exclusive arguments.

Another issue I have with belief == religion is merging morality and the Truth. Religion delivers both in one convenient package. However, they are not necessarily bundled together. I love Jesus Christ's teachings but I'm not Christian.

Truth is, many of our predecessors treated religion with much more self-inquiry than strict believers do today. Biblical literalism was not a given. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_literalism
Thanks for sharing this article, I've already found 2 great book references, The Data Detective, and Subprime Attention Crisis.

Thanks for sharing this article, I treasure good writing like this.
Looks like very nasty, tasteless, crud and even hateful tweets but I'm not see any plans to storm the white house to the murder people.
> P.S. He is also removed from Mastodon[1] too

For some reason, I thought that Mastadon was supposed to be free from censorship (for the sake of discussion, let's just call it that) because you could run your own servers.

Did Trump get removed from a specific server or from Mastadon in general?
Or did everyone else choose not to link (not sure of the terminology) with him?
And if it's possible to get removed from Mastadon, what makes it different than an ad-free clone of Twitter?
So, the first two examples are one-way broadcast mediums using the public airwaves.

If you had said HBO and Sirius radio, I would agree.
As I noted, you realize the federal government has a nearly inexhaustible source of funding, right? I bet they could build a twitter clone if they were really worried about it.
> We've spent a couple years now (right?) tacitly approving rioting as an acceptable response to feeling disenfranchised.

> We owe it to our species to break the link between Darwin’s inchoate offerings and their perceived social implications. Outdated science-inspired narratives alienate people from our shared-origins story, making it difficult for many people to claim it for themselves.

Who cares? Facts are facts. I don't subscribe yo a racial or ethnic delineation between civilized and uncivilized (in the evolutionary sense) but if it were to become clear that some evidence of this phenomenon exists, why should we take the social implications of science as important? What's true is true. Find the answers. If you take anything beyond the evidence of fact into consideration you stray from truth. Fuck social implications.
What OS are they running that you can reliably remotely manage them and not end up with a bunch of failures? I've had too many Pis corrupt themselves with dist-upgrade churn.
The very wealthy will avoid the tax increase by holding property in corporate entities and passing the stock to their children. Moderately wealthy people (e.g., working professionals who also own small properties) will be affected the most because they often don't do the same kind of estate planning that the very wealthy do.
