Would one expect any different from the instant gratification generation? It seems like safer, long term investments that require lots of patience are the opposite of what we've been trained for by the internet.

Lots of generalizations there, but if it's true that millennials have more difficulty embracing delayed gratification, which I think is likely, then a riskier more speculative investment strategy seems to naturally follow from that.

It might also be additionally influenced by record poor returns from safer types of investments.

To be clear, I'm allowed to pick on millennials because I am one, and I've been burned bad this last week on my speculative "investments". So it applies to me as well.
They must know that I have disallowed access in that case.
"The Archéophone is a modern, electric version of the phonographs and ediphones from the 19th and early 20th century. It is specifically designed to transfer phonograph cylinders and other cylinder formats to modern recording media."
I'm sure outdoor cats kill many birds and small rodents, but how are dogs to blame here? Most of them rarely, if ever, catch and kill something, and they generally don't get to hunt in their neighbourhoods unattended for hours on a daily basis. They also can't climb trees.
price discovery is price discovery, secondary market is telling you if you mispriced something. mispriced doesn't mean "we should have maximized profits", it just means something was underpriced, its simply acknowledging that the market would have paid more, its just simply the term for it. it seems like that's been lost in the "rebuttals" here, as in I don't think you even need to react or give counterpoints but for some reason you and others feel wired to.

the next thing is overweighing an idea of "artists don't want to piss off their poor fans over the long run". huge assumption. it doesn't matter how an artist stops filling venues eventually. if it happens it happens. "ack! its because I priced my Red Rocks performance too high on April 30th 2016" mmmm, no.
I'm pretty sure I described both cases as murder.

In any case: when has the US targeted civilians? And where does the "right to X" come from?
The negativity is warranted if you've ever run Julia or had to maintain it in production. Use it for your own Jupyter notebooks and personal analysis? Great! Need to debug some weird obscure error (which Julia does a poor job of reporting to the user, let alone which line in the stack trace) while having production pressure to get it up and running again? Julia is unquestionably, unarguably and utterly unsuitable. Do not use it in any production workflow, heed my advice as a maintainer of Julia repos and the tech debt that graduate students have created in our company (I am sorry but just stating the facts). You're still unsure? Let's switch sides, you maintain our company's production Julia repositories and I will take your spot to write beautiful code in a couple of hobby projects. I guarantee you, with absolute certainty, you will come down to your knees. You'll lose sleep. You'll hate management for letting this happen.

If my scenario holds, at some point Swift's scientific computing ecosystem will rival and overtake Julia's.

I don't see the ML ecosystem developing in isolation because there's going to be overlap, especially as more and more code can be differentiated.
That particular one is functional. If you don't press it, only the walk single on the parallel side of the intersection will activate.
Looking forward to this library!

Would you consider adopting the MIT license? I could use a library like that for a work project and would be interested in collaborating on it.

Have you come across this library? https://github.com/bittnkr/uniq

> "A lock-free (multi reader / multi writer) circular buffered queue."

It has an algorithm that is easily translated to SAB + atomics. I'd be curious to know how the design of your library compares to uniq.

Thanks!
If you can still get it, frozen self rising pizza costs less than $3 for about a kilogram of food. As I live alone I would buy a pizza like this and chop it into pieces before cooking it so it is fresh every serving. I add a few chunks of butter to the bottom above foil. Similar taste to pizza hut for a fraction of the cost.

Speghetti is also good when cooked with butter. Instead of adding the usual tablespoon of olive oil to the boiling water try butter instead.

My immigrant ancestors lived on a diet of spaghetti, home made bread and pork preserved in lard. I haven't tried the lard trick but maybe might be useful.
A beautiful quote. I think it’s a little goofy that you’re being downvoted just for saying something vaguely positive. Please, people- keep your wits about you.

If you define "sensible" as "might impact existing MS monopolies" then no, NONE of it is particularly sensible.

Microsoft doesn't love Linux if it interferes with its monopolies. It never did and it never will. That's the whole point.

It didn't turn over any new leaf like it claimed. It just adapted its existing strategy as a means to stave off impending irrelevance in the server market.

Not turning over a new leaf WAS the "sensible" thing to do.
does this mean the potential for a "Garry's Mod VR?"

I was working on creating an rss reader with a reddit-like interface that allowed follows, voting, comments, etc. The computational expense of a fancy sort algorithm based on factors other than just one non-computed column is immense once you get to a decent number of users. I ended up removing the algo just to lower my hosting bills. Of course, there were other potential solutions, but for a side project, this was easiest.
I would love to see MS release a version of Windows that is built on Linux but with a custom GUI to look and behave like Windows.

They could even add support for Windows apps through WINE to make it _feel_ like a native experience. Especially if they are willing to dedicate additional resources to better hardware optimization for WINE*

I have always hated Windows because I grew up on UNIX-like systems, whenever I want to do something non-trivial involving the OS I tend to get lost and give up pretty quickly. But I don't mind Windows GUI from a UX perspective, and I would be interested in running a "Linux-Windows"

*I am not sure what MS official stance on WINE is, however I would imagine that supporting it is likely in their long-term best interests.

Do they?

From what I can tell in admittedly fairly brief reading, a single member of the family is trying to remove the name, while the rest of the family simply want it distinguished from the other prizes while not objecting to the use of the name per se.

This statement from Peter Nobel[0], the man actively trying to remove the name, presumably sums up the best arguments he had available against using the name, and makes no mention of other family members trying to deny usage.

The capitol police shot one of them in the head, teargassed and wrestled with the others, so they have exactly every reason to believe otherwise.

But sure, some short video of cops removing a 3' tall baby gate, circulating on social media without context, makes a great basis for suggesting that the police and these hooligans were collaborating.

It’s all automatic. You do have to approve and categorize transactions though. But the import is automatic if you’re using a major bank.
I’d agree that has its place. But there is an important difference between honest bias and dishonest bias.
Funny how I see people complaining about a lack of checkbooks, and people complaining about a lack of mailing checks features in the same thread. Seems like no matter what you do, people will be there to complain about it.

But they started mailing out checkbooks about 2 years ago. I have one sitting in my desk.
There are all kinds of sentencing guidelines for how many years in jail you might serve or how much a fine you might pay.
RE css-in-js style encapsulation: One of my goals was to support pre-rendering, which is why Synergy doesn't currently use Shadow DOM. In the (hopefully near) future, Shadow DOM will become declarative and at that point Synergy will adopt whichever pattern the web lands on and be able to provide both features.
I actually learned the difference between MTAs, MUAs, etc because of fetchmail. Fetchmail kept randomly crashing on select spam messages and my bug reports went unheeded (and I wasn't what anyone would call a programmer) so I needed a new way to download my mail. So I wrote a crappy Perl script. All it does is use standard Perl modules to download the mail, and pipes it off to an MDA (postfix, maildrop, etc) to deal with them.

After nearly two decades, no matter what system I plunk it on or mail provider I use, the same stupid script just keeps working.
Do most people have linkedin accounts? For some reason, I thought it was mostly aspiring thought leaders and people trying to sell books or recruiting.
I don't think parent comment was about confiscating phones rather than identifying which phones were in the area during the infiltration. If you can sort out the ones who had reason for being there, everyone else is a possible culprit.
Even in a case were someone's life is at risk or an individual is armed, if you get kicked out of a building it usually takes one day until they arrest you at your house. So maybe arrests will happen on Friday.

That arrests didn't happen _on the spot_ in a case like this is utterly bizarre. Arrests happen on the spot for stupider things like people partying on a parking lot and someone trying to hide or run away when the police show up to stop the noise or responding to a breaking and entering.

I know of cases were actual hostages were taken or shots fired or things lit on fire, and it took the DA and the police three days to actually show up at a guys house to arrest him. His identity was all over the newspapers.

> we'll be keeping it current for the supported lifetime for the device.

My question is: what exactly is the "supported lifetime for the device?"

Is this "supported lifetime" defined by the manufacturer's warranty? The original OS date of installation? Something else?
What's the problem with a cap/valuation? General rule, whatever you raise, give up somewhere between 10-20%. You'll keep plenty of equity that way and your investor is getting a fair deal.
I'm not disputing that you can do those things. But I'm saying that when a particular provider is sufficiently powerful, they have the capability to make those options less appealing, either malevolently or inadvertently.

You could move your open source project away from GitHub, but if GitHub is sufficiently popular that most people don't understand how the patch system works in git, and hence don't know how to contribute without using the affordances that GitHub offers, then you will incur a cost by doing so.

The point I'm making is that if the majority of people using a decentralized system via a centralized wrapper, and if interaction with those people is a priority, then it is possible for the provider of that centralized wrapper to make it harder for you to interact with their customers without yourself using the centralized wrapper. The more they do so, the less value there is to you (the decentralized user) in the millions/billions of people using decentralized service X through centralized wrapper Y, because they're effectively unreachable unless you also use said centralized wrapper.

This can happen by continuing to use the decentralized infrastructure, but penalizing participants who aren't accessing the infrastructure through a popular system. Alternatively, it can happen by having the decentralized infrastructure co-opted, so even though the service to some extent interacts with it, most user interaction actually exists entirely within the centralized system.

I mean, it doesn't seem crazy for me to imagine a world in which (eg) as a Coinbase user there's some monetary advantage to receiving payments from Coinbase members vs the wider Bitcoin world. At which point maybe merchants want you to pay via "Coinbase Send" (or w/e this hypothetical service is called) rather than pure Bitcoin transactions. At which point, sure, Bitcoin is the underlying unit of value, but no-one is actually using Bitcoin transactions (Coinbase is just moving around their internal accounting DB records), and hence the fact that things are counted in Bitcoin is basically a historical artifact.

I have no idea what will happen. My argument is just that I don't think that it is impossible for decentralized systems to be functionally neutered when people mostly interact with them through centralized wrappers.
I've not heard of Seldon before. I'd love to hear your 'elevator pitch' for it?

That's not the BMW logo. That's just "BMW".
I'd argue that something like Reddit (and even HN, at times) is a modern person's version of a TV -- endless streams of interesting/useful information that can be consumed to no end

Good point. One great advantage of Internet vs. TV is that reddit/HN is 2 way and user generated and there are much less central authorities than TV.

It's an outright lie that disseminates. I bet you parent has never set foot in Samsung or has even interviewed for them. I bet you that they haven't even read past the headline seeing they are unable to actually cite the actual content or work experience at Samsung. How does someone on HN know more about Samsung from an article than somebody who has worked there?
I haven't seen many people defending the cab industry, which is clearly broken in many markets, including mine. I get that you hate cab companies. I do, too.

However, I'm just not sure that I like Uber any better. Most of the issues you describe with taxi drivers apply to Uber drivers as well.

As for your happiness metric, I'm not so sure about what you call facts. Asking your driver isn't going to provide useful data.

One type of dysfunctional business just got replaced with another.
I think any new plain-text based tool needs a comprehensive section (and support the workflow) on how to synchronize across devices using git or syncthing.

I tried noteKit and zettlr and so many more and I am willing to give this one a try, but I am always hesitant to reverse-engineer the file-structure and create autocommit/push/pull/etc. scripts to handle all the syncing across my work devices.

As a proof of concept I once created a "personal log" (where you could just put a few lines of what you're currently doing and why and for whome) and it was basically a git-wrapper where empty commits were created and all the data was in the commit message. A simple sync-command then pull-rebased and pushed everything.
Of course, the append-only nature of this model made synchronization incredibly easy.

I just wish that distributed workflow was more of a consideration for authors of personal organization tooling.

Edit: of course, also plain-text accounting, for example. The plain-text nature brings a lot of possibilities that are rarely used to the fullest.
According to this comment : https://stackoverflow.com/a/42777910/14517936

sys.maxsize is the maximal number of digits a _long_ in python may have.

the `10*sys.maxsize` was just an example to show that, even in Python, long objects have a limit (although very big : 10*9223372036854775807 on 64 bits).

I honestly didn't wait to see if the interpreter will effectively complain about its size (it takes why too much time).

EDIT : According to gvx's comment those limits are not correct (sys.maxsize is not technicaly the max of digits possible, due to a bad interpretation of what Py_Size means on my side)
Yep. And coffee or a beer with friends. Taking the dog to the dog park. Going on a hike. Etc.

The new mobile firefox has no option to save pages anymore. Used to download them into PDF for reading later.

If you have GAS you should use the oven and furnace as much as you can and shut off electricity. If you have electric heat it doesn’t really matter either way.

(Pro tip - if you have a gas or propane oven but a electric furnace/baseboard now is a great time to run the self cleaning cycle. The oven will get to 500+ degrees and heat your kitchen up real nice.)

No it isn’t. Anti cheat is basically DRM/malware. If you could fully understand how it works you could just modify it / work your cheats around it.
WRT affiliate programs, I've never had a problem with an book review that has an affiliate link to buy the book. If you're a plumber, and you found this great robot camera for inspecting pipes, sell it.

I think the main thing, if you're in it for the long run, is to preserve authenticity. It's easy to start seeming spammy.
I find it funny how Anti-R the Python community can be. Why was the original poster down voted for saying a question about the choice of Python. It was a good question. Python is a good language for data science is why and also people like the language.

R is also a great choice for a language and Revolution Analytics just got acquired by Microsoft.

I don't understand why Python community says it is hard to write great performing programs and deploy with R. It is by far the most used language in data science and statistics (Open Sourced and possible everything else).

If you look at Revolution Analytics and RStudio's Shinny it is very easy to deploy efficient and amazing apps right now.
Those are just the very low interest rates the central bank sets. In practice there will always be higher rates for higher risk loans, especially corporate bonds. The point is valid to some extent but must take account of all investment alternatives and the risk.

That said, I can't help but intuit that these valuations are the result of too much cheap money. The closest phenomenon is probably rich people bidding up fine (and otherwise) art. Seriously, do economists study the difference between extra cash in the hands of very rich people vs everyone else?
This is awesome! Is this something we can integrate into our website too or it is only a library for IOS? Definitely want to use this for a seamless interaction over both platforms.
Yeah, but Stalin also had 700,000 people shot in 2 years, so it doesn't work amazingly.

A more important point is that you must be pragmatic about such things. If you install a dead man's switch to your computer, you must realise that no matter how morally correct you are, in many countries it's very possible that you'll go to prison if the computer is seized in a useless state (for example, in Britain you'll be on the hook for up to 2 years in jail). In many cases, that'll be professional suicide.

So unless you have something to hide that's worth more than that jailtime, this software actually is a hindrance. I think the comment about militarisation and torture is really besides the point - it's clearly unrelated to the issue at hand.
You mean optimize the messages to more perfectly craft a filter? :)
I once ran into a squad-mate from The Basic School in a bar in Sneads Ferry NC. He had since become a CH-53 pilot, and that night he was pretty deep into the beers. At one point he made a comment that I remember verbatim because it stuck with me: "Think of a helicopter as 100,000 moving parts competing with each other to be the first one to break."

You guys can take the helo, I'll be fine leaving extra early for the airport and possibly sitting in traffic :)

That's the exact opposite goal of, I would guess, an extremely small number of people, and even a small number of people who would be described as big fans of Bitcoin. I don't even think it's worth mentioning. I'm extremely optimistic about Bitcoin, and I see no reason why offering traditional financial services (including exchange with government currencies) on top of Bitcoin is undesirable.
Out of curiosity, what kind of side projects do you do?
High wages are only a bad thing from the perspective of capital. From the perspective of the middle class, they distribute capital (and reward effort) more equitably.
> Are you referring to the brief period in which a handful of tech companies colluded to tamp down salaries and cross-recruiting?

Ignoring for the moment I don't think four years is very "brief" or eight is only a "handful"[1] (and it may actually be even more[2])

It's a bit naive to think this "had no significant impact on the national average salaries" - some of these companies are/were among the largest and most desirable companies in tech, what they do is going to affect the entire industry.

e.g. if you are a hiring manager at a company not involved and are trying to hire someone who is also considering an offer from an involved company the amount you need to offer to be more attractive is less. This brings down the average you pay, which brings down the average you offer. Likewise companies now competing for candidates also receiving offers from you now have an easier time sweetening their offers, and so forth and so on.
