> ClojureScript + Apache Cordova

I've been interested in this mixture recently. I use PhoneGap quite a bit. Currently my favorite combination is Sencha Touch Framework with CoffeeScript. IMO, this is a really simple way to develop mobile apps. Do you know of any open source examples of ClojureScript + Apache Cordova?
The good news: Youtube will have another main competitor, which can only be a good thing.

The bad news: Twitter will start building its own "advanced censorship infrastructure" to appease MPAA (just like Google did), which will later be used for other kinds of censorship, too (shared images, tweets, etc).
The led and battery, from what I understand, seems to be imported as a single module from a manufacturer that produces public street lighting, hence the high price.
Or 80 in nine months.
It's not that the deepest motivation is the profit one. It's that it's the best at bringing together large scale consistent cooperative teams. When you have a profit motive, you don't need to convince every single necessary person or resource provider to believe in your mission, you just have to pay them. And that makes a lot of things possible that wouldn't otherwise be.
I've been working on a little set of charts to plot coronavirus growth globally, based on data from John Hopkins. Rather than putting them on a map I find it more useful to have graphs per country/region.

For example here is the US:

https://coronavirus.projectpage.app/us

https://github.com/kennygrant/coronavirus

The data is based on the nightly time series from John Hopkins, based in turn on collated data from WHO and governments, which they have plotted here on a world map:

https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.h...

I'd quite like to do a bar chart of cumulative deaths/cases per country as well. Unfortunately deaths is probably the most reliable measure when looking at growth. There are a few irregularities in the data I'd like to fix too - for example the UK has no regional breakdown.
I looked it up and it seems the Transformer line is still alive, they just put Windows 10 on it
The barcode on paperbacks is usually UPC, not ISBN (unless it has changed in recent years). And therein lies a big problem: UPCs get recycled. I was bitten by this when I scanned a bunch of old Sci-Fi books, only to discover that totally different titles got assigned to those UPCs later.
It would have taken less time and money to just sew it by hand. You can use scrap material, or order fabric from ripstopbytheroll.com (a popular supplier for anything MYOG).

I buy most of my long distance hiking gear from US cottage shops which have great service but sometimes you have to mend your pack or tarp yourself on the field. It's quite easy once you get into the habit of doing it early rather than letting it disintegrate into nothingness.
In the US you mean? The problem is much more endemic in that you need money to hire a good lawyer to fight against someone with money, be it patent,civil or criminal law
And then 3 weeks later, they'll say enough is enough, and beg for it back.
This is super cool. If you haven't seen it already this session on wearables from Strangeloop is definitely worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwnt2NFvBhQ
Including cycling lockdown on and off without me very reaching a caseload that causes collapse of the healthcare system until we get a vaccine, etc., to change the basic equation. But first we've got to get R<1.
I didn't think this would work... but then I solved it and now I think it could be fun. Looking forward to tomorrow's game!

His primary use case is different for mongrel2 compared to mongrel however its based off the same HTTP parser and is a webserver so I guess the continuation seemed appropriate. Being completely written in C its going to be blindingly fast. I have a feeling it'll surge past unicorn, thin, passenger and everything else out there once its refactored and past beta.

Where can I get one for 99c, in UK on ebay [new] they're about £200 (~$300) on O2 network or £250 unlocked. Lowest monthly for a contract is £28.
Makes you wonder why any company would get into hardware.

I consider myself fairly knowledgable with cryptocurrency. I create and run a crypto project myself. I read this post and maybe understand 10% of it. This is probably the rate of things I read from Vitalik. Either Vitalik is extremely smart or he just doesn't know what he's talking about. Overall, his opinions are just confusing and distracting like the whole Ethereum ecosystem.

A warning for those who think getting a degree is useless. At least, it will force you to think deep about some problems. I hope Vitalik will find his focus and really solve a concrete problem.

For those who think I'm 10 times less smart than Vitalik. Here's my take on Ethereum and its prospect.

It would be interesting to see the Omniprocessor used to treat animal waste from factory farms in the US. They are a significant source of multiple forms of pollution in the states and contribute to some nasty algae blooms.

I also wonder how the heavy metals in the solid waste can be or are mitigated.
Truly amazing teachers can break through that. I never had any in high school but I certainly had a couple in college.
I'm curious about the real world implementation risk and if anyone has a methodology to proactively deal with external factors affecting the model performance. Such as if a feature is highly predictive of a certain outcome is there a framework to measure the volatility based on information outside of the dataset ie. product changes, marketing campaigns etc.
Its funny I worked for a startup that got acquired by Comcast, and eventually we started having to follow the Comcast security policy which made us change domain passwords every month with requirements around using strange characters etc.

I'd say about 50% of the people ended up with their current password on a post-it on their monitor or desk.

You are of course right in 99% of the comparisons, but that curved screen + Gingerbread make me completely overlook that they're otherwise the exact same hardware.
I think the BitCoin community would be interested if you could combine folding@home, say with BTC. It seems possible to me, but of course, you'd need to be able to verify the work quickly. I agree it would be nice to do something useful with the GPU/CPU time.
Actually, right in these comments PHP programmers proclaim how productive they are, how PHP powers half the web and how Haskellers haven't done anything practical.

So it seems your sarcastic rant completely misses the mark.

The well known version of this is "Ugly Fruits". http://www.frutafeia.pt/en http://www.uglyfruits.eu/

Here's a BBC Radio Four programme that talks about Ugly Fruits and two other "food waste" initiatives. (Zimbabwean orphans growing mushrooms in food waste - raising their status from social outcasts to useful members of society with produce to trade; and John Greany Sørensen who vacuum dries pulps to make crystals from food.)

I respectfully disagree on the basis that, yes revision control is hard, but git provides a relatively beautifully simple api and vocabulary on top of an inherently complex and absolutely necessary set of concepts.

When you're working on a codebase with multiple people, there are going to be changes and the changes have to be consolidated and the conflicts have to be resolved. I believe, with a reasonable amount of time and effort, developers can learn that API and vocabulary and I have yet to encounter anything comparable in terms of ease of use and "grok-ability" - especially with modern GUI tools.

git is one of the most ubiquitous and unavoidable technologies in software development and it's 100% worth the time and effort to understand and be good at it.
> about every developer uses git but most learn add, commit, branch, and merge and then just stop learning.

What are branch and merge? /j
For most actual legal doctrines possibly classified as standing in for "legit", yes.

Actual notice ("I sent it, you acknowledge you got it") suffices for most notice requirement, regardless of circumstances of sending and receiving.

Some statues/rules are more specific, but it's impossible to answer that without a more specific question.
> Everyone complains about cancel culture and mask mandates and vaccination passports and so-on.

There are also complaints about “kids these days” stretching all the way back to Plato. People can, and do, complain about things in a way that does not conform with any form of objective reality. We need a more rigorous way of discussing these things that goes beyond common complaints and memes.

> McCarthyism in the past didn't have any impact whatsoever on the average suburban family. Now, though, with social media and with everyone living as the main character of their life, "cancel culture" does.

I think you need to read more about the red scare before making such proclamations. 15,000 people lost their federal jobs during the red scare, and hundreds were jailed over their political beliefs. If you don’t think that would have a chilling effect, I’m not sure what to tell you.

I use hibernation a lot. I do have really fast storage. (two nvme drives running in raid 0) So it takes maybe 20 seconds to come out of hibernation with windows 10. Which is about twice what a cold boot up takes. But it is usually worth it to not have to get everything open again with the correct files open.

And these days, I have to leave my desk pretty often so I have it set to hibernate after 30 minutes of inactivity. My pc idles at 80 watts, so it saves a decent amount of energy to hibernate often.
Be safe out there everyone. Squash with caution, don't force push master. And remember, reflog is always there to help if you get into trouble.
It'd be more accurate to say not many of us are craftsmen. (Craftspeople?) There are still some ways to make money by through creative, open ended development, they've just always been on the rare side.
This is the type of thing that I hope make into a tool like postgresqltuner, although I must confess this is the first time I have heard of it (great looking utility though!). I am more of a generalist that happens to have spent time scaling Postgres so I can't comment much on what a "true" DBA would do, but I find myself applying sensible settings in the postgres config for parameters I have used before. This would be more on the "manual" side of your question. To be fair, I think the relatively straightforward nature of PostgreSQL and the great configuration documentation makes this easy once you know a configuration parameter exists.

If I were to skew more of my development cycles to dedicated database management, I think incorporating analytic tools like postgresqltuner would be a must. Although I would probably cross-reference any suggestions with my past experience and dig into Postgres docs on the specific parameters it highlights. Regardless I suspect it would be a valuable source of additional context.
I still remember using Aardvark, which got shut down shortly after Google acquired it. This seems to be similar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aardvark_(search_engine)

I read things like this and I just wonder... Who are these people talking on the Internet, and what universe do they actually occupy?

Because they have some decent points about how the interviews they've been in have been flubbed by the people conducting the interview, but they seem ENTIRELY inconsistent with my experience at any place I've interviewed ever, and I don't think it's my experience any time I've conducted an interview either.

Maybe I'm just not working in the wrong part of the industry? I mean, I think I've gotten some variety in interviewing, like: Silicon Valley - a small-to-medium networking software startup, and a small social media startup. Seattle - Amazon. NYC - Bloomberg, a tiny mobile-software company, and a medium-size very-late-stage media startup.

... and they all have about the same in-person technical-interview processes, which is to say, a little bit of talking mixed with a series of exercises like: here's a toy question, go solve it for us. I say "okay, here's what I'm thinking, X Y and Z, this what you mean? do you care whether it's built more like this or more like that?" start throwing some code on a whiteboard, etc etc
I've had a few experiences trying to get help from Google on their products. After I can't get help, I just switch to another service which actually has customer support. It would be cool if they could use this as a way to interface with their customers but I think that if they opened up that floodgate, it would significantly increase their overhead.
I don't agree that this has anything to do with political objectives. It's a question of ethics. My domain knowledge is irrelevant, the ML Modelling aspect is irrelevant. The discussion was specifically around whether it's ok to include inherent traits when determining the credit worthiness of an individual.

If you think it is, that's fine. We might as well just taking the same approach to crime, and start locking individuals up or not extending job offers, NOT because they've done a single thing wrong, but simply because they're statistically more likely to.
Not only are software developers starting to realize that middleman Apple only grabs huge chunk of revenue without providing much value.

I talked with local audio gear seller and he told me that we will start to see less audio products compatible with Apple as they just want to grab 20% of revenue.
As far as I know you are not shadowbanned, but rather your other post and this one break the site rules and were therefore downvoted. And once your posts were marked as "dead", no one could reply to you (I had to "vouch" your story to reply, and I doubt that will last).

I suggest you spend some time reading what other people post and getting a feeling of what's accepted and what isn't. In general, the idea is to post things that are interesting for everyone. A discussion on which parts would be better for your computer is not what HN is about.
Yes, "trust the science" in covid times means "trust the narrative pushed by the mainstream media". The fact your comment is downvoted with no actual counterargument seems to prove this point.
It reminds me of Ted Nelson, who has worked on a nebulous vision of hypermedia for 60 (!) years. While he’s been incapable of shipping his vision, a nearly indistinguishable version of hypermedia changed the world through the world wide web. For some reason he does not accept that as validation of his vision, but as a poorly designed rip-off.

No idea how it has progressed or if sample units became accessible - which would be nice.

This depends on the hiring manager and the org - I'm hiring for a couple of roles in Australia and have explicitly marked them as remote (in AU).
I like that idea. Plus it still allows for multi tasking during meetings...
Tharoor wrote a couple of blog posts on him that are easy to find. In fact they were discussed on HN recently after I had posted
I'm reading through all these responses and it sounds like nobody read the article. Everybody keeps bringing up JVM SecurityManager, or how granular Deno's permission system is, or a syntax for granting runtime permissions to modules (like your Agoric link). That's not what happened here. The actual attack in the article was a post-install script run by the package manager. That means whatever kind of limits you might place on runtime capabilities of the library wouldn't have mattered. You need a system that lets the package installer request granular permissions from the package manager, where the package manager runs the scripts in a sandbox and only explicitly-provided privileges are granted. I don't know of any package managers that support this feature today.
I’m not saying developer-friendly APIs are bad, but i do think hand-crafted, well-written, and well-tested SQL outperforms any ORM, and if any ORM comes close to the performance of hand-crafted queries, it does so at the cost of complexity.

Raw database queries aren’t difficult except in extreme edge cases that most ORMs aren’t smart enough to handle either. ORMs do make things slightly “easier”, but that comes at a cost. Whether that cost is in terms of performance or complexity or developers losing understanding/knowledge of how to build code that leans into the benefits of whichever database you choose comes down to whichever ORM you’re using, but that trade off will always be there.

And either way, 99% of people using any random ORM have no idea whether a `select *` is being used or not. That’s the whole point. You put blind faith into whatever ORM believing it will do the “right”/“most optimized” thing.
It's not just a physical button — it's an API. If you develop a hardware product you can apparently integrate with Dash to order supplies from the embedded controller.

Apparently, Whirlpool washing machines and Brita water filters will be using it. This doesn't help for basics like paper towels, but it would work for paper towel holders (if it's true). The IoT is here.
In 2000, about 30 percent of 20- to 24-year-olds were working in jobs that did not require college degrees. By 2010, that percentage had risen drastically to almost 40 percent.

20-24? A lot of students are taking more than four years for degrees these days. This statistic doesn't specify if it counts students enrolled in college working at a campus job or not.

At the beginning of this year, there were twice as many four-year college graduates working as waiters and bartenders as engineers.

Is the problem just that it's mostly expected that everyone moves on to college, whether or not they can pick a degree they care enough about to make a real effort in succeeding with?
"Free registration required"-walls are right up there beside paywalls on the annoy-o-meter. Anyway, the NYT ones pretty clearly ask for payment, though they seem to be different for everybody.
Those stats combine main client (chat.mibbit.com) with our widget, split roughly 50/50. The widget is used on various websites, gaming, stock trading, dating, etc etc

Sure, it's still probably going to be slightly more tech, but I'm guessing there's quite a few other webapps who have similar demographic.

It also depends on how 'global' you are. IE usage varies wildly by country.
I used to backup all my stuff onto CD-R's, then DVD-R's. Now I get a 1TB drive and copy it to 4 other 1TB drives in various places. I also have an organisation system which declares EG OthersAlbums, or MyDocuments. Others[ETC] contains stuff I didn't create, My[ETC] is stuff I created myself.

I also have 2 16GB flash drives with just about everything I've created.
They say launch early so you can hear this exact kind of feedback when it's cheaper.

Their critique is completely valid.
Not only American citizens; as a green-card holder I have almost all of the same rights, the only right I don't have is the right to vote. I have the exact same constitutional rights as everyone else, even though I am a resident alien in this country.
Most likely they don't care, they are enforcing the licenses and that's it. There's probably a division in Microsoft that has to do these things and that's what they get paid for.
there are two things that immediately come to mind:

1. APIs.
2. Authorization/Authentication

I should be able to get my data out and do things with it. I should be able to do so without fear.

My current banks online security its mostly theatre and the API is a csv download. Must banks I know just need to catch up.
"You're very clever, young man, very clever- but it's turtles all the way down!"
Yes, we are. Thanks for the writeup.

Probably the biggest issue for the service will be to make sure that licensing is ensured. (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8802833)
Funny how this kinds of housing works perfectly in Europe at least in 90% of cases when care is taken so that percentage of poor and criminal residents do not exceed some crtical value. The buildings themselves should also be kept small and hallways short to prevent them from becoming streets.

Lots of trees, paths, playgrounds and small commerce between buildings seem to help.
>The fact that "99.9999% of the time" is spent doing other things is the problem. If you're doing applied math like type theory and make an advancement, that's research. If you're doing anything else, that's the Development part of R&D.

It's not a problem, at all. Whether you're developing new algorithms, analyzing them, running simulations, studying and understanding the results, all that _is_ research. I think you're being too narrow in your definitions.
