I'd be interested in learning how to read poetry. It seems like a different enough thing involving emotion and experience that your steps may not apply.

If any poetry fans here remember what it took to start to crack the code, I'd love to hear it.
Sexps can be nice for a config representation (in particular, they imply less structure so they work well for more cases like maps between objects (just use an alist), little DSLs in configs (so long as you’re ok with a lisp-like language), and “tagged objects” where you want to specify what kind of thing you’re describing and then extra arguments, like enums in rust). There are problems though:

1. Casing (some lisps are case sensitive others aren’t)

2. Lots of types of atom. Eg Common Lisp has like a dozen different types of number (short/long/single/double floats, integers, rationals, complex numbers thereof), weird syntax (eg put a decimal point at the end of an integer to make sure it’s read in base 10. The fact that you have to worry it won’t be is already a serious concern), strings and symbols.

3. Extra syntax/types, eg vectors, arrays, bitvectors, #., backtick and comma, quote, backslash rules (but not sure if there’s a standard way to escape characters), keywords, packages

4. Multiple similar things, eg vectors and lists, symbols and strings, alists and plists.

Many of these qualities may be useful in programming but if one treats a config representation as a thing which must be validated and parsed into the actual data, then all of this adds confusion. I think there should be only one kind of atom: the string which may be written without quotes. This way you can be flexible in parsing (some fields you might choose to parse 50% as 0.5 and other fields you might require that the number starts with a dollar sign so people don’t forget that it is referring so some amount of dollars) and make it easy for people to write config files (no errors about expecting a string and getting a symbol or vice versa).
Obviously they want to make everyone wear their monitoring cameras though.
They could have created and marketed a device only for people who need it, and nobody would have complained if they had done that.
@inancgumus: @newsycombinator Completely disagree. Only agree with Launchpad and it does not decrease any usability either.
A more complete version of this:

* captures performance data in the HAR format.
* blacklisting and whitelisting certain URL patterns
* simulating various bandwidth and latency
* remapping DNS lookups
* flushing DNS caching
* controlling DNS and request timeouts
* automatic BASIC authorization
* REST API
And it is that point that I am talking about, and I was wondering what problems made it that unusable. I was not saying that there is no problems.
Naw, let's go all in and use the original title:

I liked the example of the Internationale. I mean, how hypocritical is it to assert property rights over the Communist anthem?
There's anecdotal evidence that Prius users were already making a game of "beating their (mileage efficiency) high score." Nice example of Nissan taking this phenomenon and applying a competitive layer. As a next step, they should let these Leaf owners take on a userID, opening up marketing and promotional possibilities.

This has been in my bookmarks for quite some time.

It's very cool.
Is there a need to account for circadian rhythms in sampling, do you ask your customers to swab at noon or before bed, or do you just include this info in model training/prediction?
Yeah, when I changed from the HHKB to the Ergodox EZ, I found myself disappointed by my new keyboard's lack of USB ports. It's the best place for a wireless mouse dongle; one cable now brings both your mouse and keyboard to another computer.
This is the exact same keyboard I'm typing this on (I actually didn't know the model number, I had to check).

It's a good one! The keys definitely have more travel than modern MacBook keyboard keys. I like its size, incline, and weight too. I'm split on the size, on the one hand it's kind of long, so it fits awkwardly in my backpack and I find myself pushing it left and right often.

On the other hand, I like having a dedicated delete key and full-size arrow keys. A version of it with the separate arrow keys but no num-pad would be perfect for me.

The USB ports aren't very good for data, but they're great to plug a mouse into. I have a wireless Logitech mouse with the USB receiver, not Bluetooth. It's easy forget it's not Bluetooth though because the receiver has just been tucked in under the keyboard the whole time.
You don't need UBI for "Alleviating the threat of death due to unemployment". You can have welfare systems that encourage you do get a job and only pay the minimum for you to live. These systems allready exists in some countries.

That's not what UBI is about.
Good "short fat engineers" are not undervalued at all, the reason they are not hired often is because they are the boss!

A wide profile is typically what you want as a boss/executive/entrepreneur. With technical knowledge but also artistic, legal, people and of course business skills. This is what you need to run a company. And as you reach your limits, you start to hire experts.
Found a bug w/ trying to insert a link in my description.

Ended up creating a project here: https://provetheywantit.com/project?public_token=pub_XAWtPgA...
I really think that the vast majority of people, say 90%, really don't think 'this is still "in dispute"'. Of those, I wouldn't be surprised if a decent share disagrees on the severity of the problem, and probably 95% of those 90% have very little idea about the time-sensitivity of the issue in the first place. However, virtually nobody I speak to thinks it's a non-issue, and if you look at polls about whether the government should do more against it, you usually see a large majority (and that's only a subset of those that acknowledge that there is an issue at all).

Perhaps murica is, as usual, an outlier among generally educated countries, but let's not pretend like there is too much dispute to get things done on this topic, or that denying it is anything more than a conspiracy theory with a vocal troll/joke aspect to it as well as a couple of real conspiracy theorists.

The biggest problem is that people don't believe they can do anything. A family member of mine wants to put a solar park in a nearby field. "Great!" I said, "I'll chip in!" Realizing I wasn't doing it for monetary gain (I don't live nearby enough to really profit from it), they then told me to not be "more catholic than the pope" (not sure if that translates well) and wouldn't accept the money I wanted to put towards this directly effective good cause. They (singular) are not doing it for the climate, they don't believe it will make a difference. They think it's a good investment for their own riches. But they don't think climate is a non-issue, just that they can't do anything about it, nor believe that there would be a sufficient majority to collectively (i.e. have the government) do something about it.

I mean, they're right about this being absolute peanuts, but the presence of solar fields and wind turbines also sends a message to those who learn of it: we can do this, we are doing things, it is economical, let's go for it.
I only occasionally achieve this state but I find that it comes from high levels of comfort with the systems you're using. That's everything from the operating system to the programming language to your chosen editor/IDE.

When you have a high level of comfort with all of these things when you see a problem you can often guess *where* the bug is and that's half the battle right there.

Have you ever noticed that your friends will ask you to fix their WiFi or an app on their phone and even though you have no real expertise you can normally do it? That's a version of the same thing. You understand the general principles of the system and you're able to guess the general location of the problem and start flipping switches until it goes away.

384.843.424 $ / 78.306 = 4.915 $ was made on average per Gumroad customer since 2011, equating to roughly 546 $ per year per customer on average. Yea I'm not sure Gumroad users are making a living out of this xD
How do you handle important libraries (common functionality) for your teams in the backend?

Sure, it's possible to remove all dependencies from a teams project by copy and pasting the code or by reinventing the wheel, but I'm not sure if these options are better than carefully chosen dependencies (including some maintained by other teams).
Sure but each bit isn’t obvious before you’ve seen it. Lots of people you know would just chew the grains after boiling because that’s what we’ve always done. Every so often someone stops and thinks about trying to crush it.

Yeah, I can't imagine him endorsing some sort of forced dark pattern behavior like that. His biography talked about going to great lengths to make his jet bathroom door toggle instead of using two separate lock and unlock buttons.
Does Python deliberately allocate extra space at the end of each string to enable characters to be appended in-place (similar to lists)? Or does it just use space that’s available as a side-effect of memory allocation, e.g. by calling `realloc`?
I have been using w540 with 2880x1620px for about year and I really like it. Everything works well with Ubuntu 14.04. My only complaint is mouse buttons are merged with trackpad buttons, but I don't use trackpad because it gets in a way when typing. So if I disable the trackpad, I cannot use point-mouse in the keyboard.

> IE6 is a perfect baseline to start from

IE 6 is a terrible baseline to start from its almost a decade old, Microsoft is trying to wean users off it - making your website look nice in IE6 isn't helping this cause.

Make it just about functional in IE6, and perhaps include a notice to the user that recommends they upgrade.

There used to be a single Internet, with all content and addresses treated equally. Now, depending on your location, your provider, or your device/ecosystem, you may have vastly different network landscapes from others, elsewhere in the world.

In my opinion, "peak Internet" occurred sometime around 2010-2011. That is when the largest number of people had access to the most open, monolithic network.

As stated, this happens almost entirely with (a) questions that could be considered opinion-based (up to discussion whether these belong on SO, SO's stance is they do not); (b) specific long-tail questions that may have very precise or specific answers.

Googling 100 things (which is not a lot) is not likely to return more than 1 or 2 of these at most. It's rare that I hit this but I've seen it a dozen or so times at least. Most of the time it's a question that has been heavily upvoted with a heavily upvoted (and accepted) answer.

Neither Windows nor macos do this and it seems usability is fine.

Linux has a long way to go to get on par with those two for the average Joe, and no, having DNS fallback absolutely won't help with that.

Note that the article specifically mentions cloud deployments breaking, so this isn't even something that a novice user will encounter, although it confirms my impression that the cloud is being used a lot by some of the greatest idiots in tech.
It is quite easy to answer in legal terms, tracking is about gathering, collecting, and linking together Personally Identifying Information.

if you track my incognito sessions but what gather makes you unable to (statistically) associate me with my non-incognito sessions that is not tracking.

incrementing a counter for the number of visits is not tracking, recording my mouse move patterns to a precision where you are able to identify me "biometrically" is tracking.

it is not about what technology you are using it is about your data gathering is being used/can be used to populate a personally identifying profile about me

(I admit that tracking is nebulous in one sense: suppose that I have recorded internet usage patterns of 20% of the population with complete and accurate data collection, using sophisticate AI models I am now able to identify your age/gender just by how you scroll a page, even without remembering anything about your session, I can calculate this on the fly. this is essentially what Cambridge Analytica did and it is nebulous "who" they were tracking, the original users or you?)
It assumes flow analysis is done though.
You're comparing an entire country vs a single man. Not fair.
With this many billion dollars on the line, one can never be too cynical.

One has to wonder if this has been the endgame all along: driving taxi services out of business, replacing them with a monopoly where consumers pay the same price (or higher) and where drivers are paid less.

I will say that services like Uber have been very beneficial for areas that were previously underserved by traditional taxi companies. But that alone probably doesn't justify this multibillion-dollar wealth transfer operation.
We gave candidates a heads up before the interview that they'd be working on a live coding question, and that they should familiarize themselves with editing code over SSH. Some candidates felt uncomfortable with this, and we were able to make alternate arrangements (e.g. setting up VisualStudio locally on a Windows machine).

During the interview, the interviewee worked on the problem live, and the interviewer stayed silent, except for questions. If they didn't come up for air after 30 minutes or so, I'd check in and see if they were stuck, offer help, etc.
You can't always saturate transfers to and from random servers (whose bandwith is) not controlled by you.

> Also, a thing to note is that HN has user hierarchy, meaning certain users have more power than others, more or less based on karma. Which does mean that if you're thinking an easy of expressing your thought doesn't align well enough with those above you, your experience of HN will be crippled.

I have no idea what you're talking about here, apparently more than just newbies not being able to downvote - could you give an example or two? Maybe it's just a sinister way of describing being downvoted but not being able to downvote others.

> There have been times when seeing what gets up voted and what gets down voted really made me think twice about what people that are running this website are actually thinking.

Uh, it's not the "people running the website" who do the voting, not sure what you mean. If you really are curious about what the people running HN are thinking, email dang at hn@ycombinator.com and just ask. It's not a hidden, mysterious, shadowy entity.

If I encountered this test, here’s what I’d think (or hope) is being evaluated:

- Do you understand the problem, or seek better understanding if not? (Obviously the problem here isn’t extrapolating arithmetic, but identifying the importance of an atomic operation.)

- Do you recognize the value of the change, or question it if it feels non-obvious?

- How do you think about approaching an unfamiliar codebase/code path?

- How do you think about the challenges you encountered while working on the problem?

- What else felt important to you that I’m not looking for?

All of these questions provide a lot more information than “can you write code?”

Especially meaningful for evaluating actual fit is reactions to walking into pre-existing code. In fact I think this has been, at least subconsciously, my best heuristic for assessing colleagues’ skill maturity. “Juniors” will stare at a problem or ask a lot of easily answered questions; “mid level” devs will bang their heads trying to answer without asking; “senior” devs will have a good intuition for which challenges are discoverable and which are best solved by asking a human or a google or whatever, or at least for recognizing the distinction after some time exploring the problem.
I realize the above post may come off as rather angry. I'm already anticipating a few "cult member identified!" replies.

I'd like you to reflect on the fact that you are suggesting people avoid the primary form of treatment suggested by the National Institute of Health, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the American Psychiatric Association, the Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care System, and many other large organizations. You are recommending against a successful mode of treatment for people who have a problem that is potentially life-threatening, that destroys both their lives and that of their families.
Thanks. That answers the bandwidth question. How about the other two?

How do you deal with structured formats, like XML?
In JQF you would just write a XML generator (see their examples). If you just use the "sequence of bytes" approach as AFL does, then a lot of your inputs might be immediately rejected by the parser.

Does it really matter if the bottom is 5% instead of 0%? Is that honestly something you think about when choosing an investment?
Yes. The Kotlin DSL helps immensely- probably mostly because the IDE can actually autocomplete the various closures and attributes.

A few things get a bit more verbose/ugly but mostly it’s similar.
Seems... well, pretty violent. And strangely dedicated to wishing death/finality upon everything.

That’s stark when most cultures draw on disgust (excrement etc) or some kind of power/possession dynamic (fucking, owning, etc).
> It's a case in which Amazon, the producer and the consumer have aligned interests, until Amazon turns around and screws everyone who have become dependent.

Has Amazon ever shown any indication of raising prices after monopolizing a market? As far as I can tell, the more they dominate a market the lower their prices.

Amazon does seem interested in monopolization, but mostly for the ability to squeeze suppliers into even tighter pricing- not turning around on consumers. Moreover, similar arguments were made for years about Wal-Mart and never materialized. Increasing market share seemed to go hand-and-hand with "Everyday Low Prices".

Who knows. Maybe it really is their secret strategy. One day the shoe will drop, and Amazon will start bleeding consumers in the markets they've grown to dominate. Somehow I doubt it though, and so far their behavior gives zero indication of it.
Interested in following this thread so commenting to track it and also give it a little bump.
For those who can't get enough information from the front lines, this is a clearing house of background information, diagnosis, and treatment.
It absolutely isnt a solved problems, most countries affected by the pandemic do not manufacture the ventilators and have like a 10x shortage compared to what's needed to incubate everyone who will be sick. (Obviously depending on how bad it gets).

The struggle to ramp up production is a desperate one, and this is one case where IP is killing people - there are several consortia in the UK that are ready to manufacture, but need a certified design they could build.
Also: The degree of testing, and time of testing e.g. the false negative rate of Corona is quite high (forgot how much, need to look it up) in Germany due to the nature of the RNA based test.
