Joncp, An API is actually the second-to-top thing on my todo list.
Yes: http://www.zenqry.com/

ZenQuery is similar in that it creates REST API endpoints for your database tables / specific SQL queries. However, it's database-agnostic and runs as an independent web application.

May I ask what your use case is?
We didn't measure average case performance, but for worst-case performance the "orders of magnitude" comment is absolutely backed by measurement. See also my comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8830667

In our case, we only needed about 12 bits of accuracy anyway, so we wound up writing our own implementation using polynomial approximations (which have the benefit of predictable running times regardless of the quality of your C library). The fact that you need to do this in any context where worst-case performance is a concern might be surprising to some people. It was to me before I read glibc's code.
That's a good point, thanks! Still, nothing would top getting the books to just show up in my mailbox....
It's fascinating to think of the mediæval scribal system as a really, really low-bandwodth Wikipedia, with thousands of men over centuries passing notes and slowly developing the corpus of information which underlies of modern civilisation.

Who were those scribes who wife each of those letters with a precision which would be the envy of an 80s dot-matrix printer? What were their hopes and dreams? Could they have imagined an age like ours?
Thank you, you expressed my sentiments on this issue. :)
I only use the script on my desktop, and so I've never seen an AMP result. I'd need to be able to use the 'inspect element' developer tool on mobile I suppose in order to see how to filter them. Not even sure the script works on mobile though.
Instead of moving your fingers, to get the information you need you just move your eyes!

Big screens help a lot
You really don't want to run HiDPI on Linux, applications will look blurry and ugly. It's better to just stick 1x scaling.
This is ridiculous. There has been studies and papers being written and released for MONTHS from all over the world. We’ve known about chloroquine since January.

This INSISTENCE people keep having on politicizing this is infuriating and it’s going to get people killed. Stop doing this. Now is not the time for political point gathering.
The revolution in the US from England started with a tax revolt. The founders hoped to create a new nation where the government didn't try and maximize its tax on citizens and just tax enough to maintain the functions of government. The wealthy were not taxed at high rates in the US and Federal revenue was around 3% of GDP until the income tax was implemented. One could hope for a governing class that would let people live with low tax burdens, but that seems to be a difficult thing to sustain.
He didn’t recommend people self medicate. And their are doctors in New York using these drugs right now. Some dumbass self medicating with any prescription drug without a doctor’s supervision gets what he gets.

And the drug does show promise. Trump could cure cancer and people will be mad about it. If Obama had mentioned this drug people would react completely differently. During H1N1, 4000 Americans died from that; it isn’t like Obama had a stellar track record in quelling a pandemic either.

All of this concern that this treatment is “unproven” — well of course it is, this is all happening very fast, but to immediately oppose this drug because Trump is just political nonsense. It seems almost as if people want it to take years to find a solution to this thing. This constant anti-Trump vitriol is getting tired and old. People are dying right now, yet we are going to quibble on a drug that is showing promise just because Trump suggested it?

And as we know, the exact wording of Trump's statements is of critical importance to how his supporters interpret them.
They didn't do it without slightly modifying the existing standard (luckily still within tolerance). Thus the source of that infernal 1000/1001 factor that pushed field rates from 60Hz to approximately 59.94Hz
>They also aggressively hash data chucks to avoid storing the same data from different people twice

If one user uploads a large movie and another goes to upload the same large movie, is the upload nearly instant then as a result? Do they sha1 the file, decide it is the same, and then just make an association that this file is now used by two users?
tl;dr: zencoder.com was easy to integrate, works well, is cheaper than the competition, and was 10x faster than our home-brew transcoding junk.
So does "tty" or "terminal" in this context also refer to pseudoterminals, so that each xterm/konsole/gnome-terminal instance gets its own scheduling group as well?
> C)Go bleeping crazy. He's trying to inflict real harm on you- looking cool/honorable is for movies. Go for the eyes, nose and groin; that's actually Bruce Lee 101 -- fast, and to the critical areas. Become an animal. Disable (psychologically or physically) them as quickly as possible.

I'd like to note, I got out of several fights in highschool by simply laughing when I got hit. It disconcerts people when you act unexpectedly.

Also;

F) If there's no way out, grab a weapon. In the movies, getting hit over the head with a beer bottle is nothing more than an inconvenience, however in reality it'll either give a concussion or, as happened recently in my area, cause multiple fractures to the skull.

When you're in a fight, assume they're trying to kill you. Respond accordingly. If you almost kill someone, who cares as long as you didn't start the fight. Don't get caught, don't leave a business card. If the cops come, you get a lawyer and claim self defense. At least you're alive and okay.
I was with you until A).

Don't hit someone first. If you do, that's assault. It's only self-defense if they try to hit you first.

Don't hit someone on the jaw. You'll hurt your hand and stun him very temporarily, if you don't just glance off - it's a stupid thing to do. If you absolutely must hit a man in the face, then hit him on the nose. You won't cause a lot of serious damage to him, you won't hurt your hand and his eyes will water so much that you can run away. Better is to hit him in the stomach as you run past him to the exit. Even better is to run past him to the exit without hitting him. Best is not to be so fucking stupid that you get into a fight in a bar in the first place. SO a stranger insults you - is your ego really so fragile that you give a shit?

Don't kick someone while they're down. That's assault. They are unable to be aggressive to you while they are on the floor; if you hit them in that situation, you are at fault. If the bar has CCTV and people there can find you, you will be prosecuted and go to jail for malicious assault. If not, then you're still at fault. You don't wear spandex and you're not a superhero; your job is not to go around bars being a vigilante to assholes. If he's on the ground already, then just walk away.

You got it right with D) again.

Aside from A) and D), the rest of your post reads like a super-aggressive teenager who lacks experience, or someone who got continually picked on and harbours revenge fantasies - "Why, if I ever see that guy again...".

If you go around getting into fights in bars, it doesn't matter how prepared or how fit or how fast you are. Eventually you'll make a mistake or meet someone better prepared, faster or fitter and end up in hospital, or dead. It's a really fucking stupid thing to do.
"Instead of picking up one of the multitude of books sent to me and typing it, I got lazy and went to the www and "found" something."

In school, that's called plagiarism, and you get thrown out for it...

Why should it be so different in the real world?
Come on, it's hacker news: Home of many libertarians, aspies (and wannabes), grammar sticklers, and concern trolls. Obama doesn't have a chance in hell here, even when he's trying to give a shout-out.

He, and anyone who doesn't have a tax break or credit in hand, will get the same treatment here. As a bleeding heart liberal, I've come to terms with it :)

> Also, "since Obama took office" doesn't mean much, since Obama's first year in office was under Bush's last budget.

Actually, it wasn't; Congress didn't pass a budget during Bush's last year. It passed some continuing resolutions during the end of the Bush administration and passed a budget during Obama's first few months.
Someone get this site running on PyPy.
As with anything in image machine learning, it's all about the complexity of your feature space and how well it captures your business needs. Starting with nearest-neighbors with color-based features is a great starting point, and it's always great to see posts that start from scratch and show how far you can get.

For those interested in some of the commercial solutions in the space, Cortexica ( http://www.cortexica.com/ ) is doing interesting work using neural networks for fashion image similarity. Sadly, they seem to be focusing on white-label solutions rather than having an API.
You have older NCOs in the military as well as senior officers, but for the most part rank and seniority is a pyramid in the military.

More so than in civilian life. The US military has a formal "up or out" policy and a schedule: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Year_Tenure . That's for enlisted men. For officers, it's tougher, although more complicated; if you're passed over for promotion twice, you're usually out.
You know, I never really thought about this before.

It's obvious that clicking the "like" button will give Facebook information about you, but what's less obvious is that just by loading the widget, Facebook gets the referrer, and can essentially track every page you visit (at least, the ones with like buttons).

And the same would be true for Facebook Connect widgets. Even if you don't use it to log in, Facebook still gets your IP and the URL of the page you're on.

It's a brilliant strategy. Figure out how to get your iframes on as many pages as possible, and you've got an easy way to track your users' surfing habits, second-by-second, as they navigate from one widget-loading page to another...

Of course, ad companies have been doing this forever, but ad providers aren't ubiquitous, and they don't have your real name, address, etc. And everyone [edit: everyone who cares about these things] runs adblock anyway. But how many people block widgets, or would even think to?
Bull. Urine pH can vary anywhere from 4.4 to 8 and still be considered normal [1]. And that's the urine. It says nothing about the pH of the blood or other fluids that could actually cause the sorts of problems the OP is encountering. With a low urine pH you'll get stones [2], not neurological and digestive problems.

The sync API has already been released: http://github.com/maccman/syncro - I'm also just about to release the JavaScript version of the client (so you can have realtime sync between web and desktop apps.
That has to happen on both sides, though. More granularity on the employees' side while the employers grow/merge into large organizations that act collectively will just produce a bigger power imbalance.
It's been a few years since the last time (pre-HN, even), but this idea keeps coming up over and over for major discussion in the programming world. Every time, there's a big discussion but the unionists never seem to get enough traction or have enough backbone to get it going.

I can't see it happening, because most programmers are savvy enough to negotiate their own terms with employers on an individual basis if they care enough. Programmers, as a group, aren't usually as ignorant as groups who are protected by unions.

There's a better alternative to adding ^:const by hand, namely compiling production artifacts with direct linking:

This assumes that no code does some kind of var redefing, which is a pretty safe assumption to do.

Wrong. From NYT

As someone who hates to be associated with 8ch due to a variety of reasons, the one thing I can tell you is that it is nowhere near an ISIS recruitment center. And to make that comparison is absolutely ridiculous. Read up how ISIS recruits members, trains them and then tell me it is the same thing as an image board.
I don't know what's worse, having to mute people who aren't paying attention in the meeting and click clacking on their other work, or seeing those low mounted webcams that give you front row seats to fingers typing on the keyboard, or a nice angle on your coworkers unkempt neck hair.
This is almost exactly the same argument that police defenders make when the police shoot an unarmed minority individual in any random city.

Really. That's the "worst" option? You can't think of worse things than that?
I confused your username with the OP commenter, whose remark prompted my initial reply:

> This was, in fact, an insurrection, fighting between the President and the Congress. And the local police took the President's side.

Apologies, your usernames are similar and you seemed to support their point.
Well that was kind of exactly my point. It is in their interest to do gift cards because they don't lose anything or incur a cost on themselves, once someone is locked into a gift card they only gain sales.

This is made possible at least in part because they have savings on the credit card cut
Exactly my issue with OP's argument.

If BTC price rises, trade volume grows, increasing demand for stablecoins due to their utility as a low-volatile alternative to fiat to bypass legislation. You would EXPECT this pattern to arise. Note also how OP does not show a graph of trade volume/buy-sell volume which would potentially show that it is used as claimed.

I still think Tether is extremely shady for refusing audits and dubious backing. I avoid it like the plague and hope others are as smart.
I suppose this could work as long as you don't print too much. Let's say you have $10M USD in deposits. You can print $20M in USDT as long as you're reasonably sure that on average, people don't withdraw 50% of their deposits. This gets tricky though because USDT is used by multiple exchanges, so I'm not sure what exactly would happen if everyone withdraws their deposits not in USD, but in USDT to another exchange. They'd all need to be in on the conspiracy with some sort of settlement system to transfer money between them.
You are calling to "sanction the fuck out of" Russia, not discuss the country. Before wishing suffering and death upon the Russian people, remember that we are guilty of equivalent or worse crimes.

Here's a hypothetical. Imagine the the Solarwinds hack had been performed by the NSA against a Russian company and the equivalent sections of government Would you call for sanctions against the US?

Yeah, I pushed it right up to the edge of the 1024x screen size (forgetting, stupidly, about netbooks). I'll see if I can dial it down a bit.

Not that I've been using it, but for one thing there is sync of bookmarks across browsers. Another value proposition of delicious was discovery of new sites through social tagging, I suppose.
It comes from Cal Henderson's DjangoCon 2008 keynote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6Fr65PFqfk&fmt=22#t=55m1...

He jokingly said Django needed a mascot and that he could take a framework seriously if it had a mascot with magical powers.
regarding the lying:

didn't bill gates lie to ibm when they were looking for an OS and say he had one (and then bought qdos and hacked it into dos)?

I was at a Toronto event in November that revolved around this exact topic.

http://www.aspectgraphics.com/ACCTO/A_TO_invite.html

Basically, it was a room full of startup folks, a couple of people with money talking and a few lawyers. It was more informative than it sounds.

In short, the question being asked was "what's wrong with Canadian Startup Capital?"

After the lectures and a lot of conversation about the topic with other Toronto based startup folks in addition to a few VC people, I boiled the problem down to these points:

1)
We don't value our own work. To hit a product out of the park, we sort of assume (like the rest of North America) that we need to be in the valley. I don't think that this is unique of Canada though - I've talked to a lot of U.S. based startups outside of California that feel the same way.

2)
Canadian investors have different investments. We like resources, land, oil, that sort of stuff. Investing in tech somehow seems un-natural to a lot of the folks with the Brewsters Millions type of money.

3)
A lot of Canadian tech startups are founded in revenue. Shopify is a good example - they're making money. They need some money so they took funding, but they didn't start the company needing funding to survive.

Talking to a large number of Canadian startups over the last few years, I think that the previous point is the biggest problem with the Canadian VC industry. We simply don't ask for the money early and often enough to constantly remind people outside of the tech industry how much money it usually costs to get to revenue. A lot of the products grown in Canada are not erroneous in the least - the strong majority of them have customers and revenue in proportion to the costs they incur.

4)
Last, many Canadian tech companies aren't solving big enough problems. Similar to the point above, we're focused on revenue. VC is a game best played when the players are ALL swinging for the fences. A lot of the problems that our current products solve are focused on those that have a limited number of customers so that we can quickly build and sell them a solution. VC's want to fund solutions that will impact very large groups of people, if not all 6.8 billion of us.

In the end, it's only a matter of time really. We'll have a few more Shopifies under our belt and then Film Industry won't be the only folks coming up North for a good deal :)
What about Flickr? I wish someone gets them in the package deal. Only then you can retire your ID. Besides I believe both services run a separate from Yahoo login.
Sure it does. I'd be impressed with this app doing word-for-word translation if that's what I expected. If On the other hand, if the examples uses grammatically incorrect source material to give the impression that it can do more than it can, I feel irritated at being misled, and I'm much less likely to support the product.

It seems widely agreed that 93% of BLM protests were peaceful [1]. That remaining 7% slice was responsible for $1-2 billion of property damage [2], on par with a serious natural disaster. I don't know how someone can continue to use the "mostly peaceful" line with a straight face.

an alternative hypothesis is that they voluntarily isolated themselves into echo chambers because they didn't like the reality that the mainstream news was reporting
Well, these are lists of claims, but they are unsubstantiated.

The question is, where is the evidence of fraud?

The people pursuing these issues need to go beyond tweeting or holding press conferences and bring evidence to court.

So far, that hasn’t happened.

At this point there’s been plenty of opportunity, so it doesn’t seem there’s evidence to substantiate this stuff.
The only concern I have is - changes to center of gravity with these additions.
SOP when I worked in a similar environment was that if there's an evacuation you don't take time to lock up. Probably not an issue for a SCIF, but could be a problem if a congressperson has a safe in their office

Well, at least with PostgreSQL -- all CTEs were always materialized. It was optimized only in the version 12.
Or perhaps it can open doors that will end up holding you back. There are people who are legitimate acid casualties. I know a guy who now has social anxiety so bad that he rarely leaves his house. This was most certainly not the case before he indulged in copious amounts of LSD and Psilocybin.
My usual reaction to these things is "does the world really need another language/framework?"

But this is actually a cool little language with well thought out features. I can see it being very useful for embedding.
YC is nothing like it once was. PG was the man.

PG was high priest of what was once a secretive religion for people who liked productizing tech.

Over the years its become just another Sandhill VC firm.

I haven't heard of any big companies out of YC recently. Is it because PG left and the culture changed?
So what does that value each reputation point at?
Communism had a great many failings, but they did allocate a lot of money to infrastructure and science.

But what real communism did isn't even relevant here, I'm pretty sure GP is talking about imaginary communism in the sense that anything that is good for the general population is somehow called communism in US politics.
Pop me a note! Didn't see one come through yet
