The way that CT is explained to engineers here is what tech architects do every day, and with the rigour of formalisms that would help clarify a lot of the muddled thinking some architects suffer from. Arguably, an architect is someone who uses categories and relationships between them to solve and optimize for aggregate behaviour and outcomes.

I watched the first guest lecture, which was very good. I'm not a mathematician, engineer, or a category theorist, but I can apply the formalisms to system architecture instantly.
Yeah people a quick to forget that London is not what it is because of the EU.

It has been a global hub for centuries.
It's not "playing": reading is fundamental. Their billing rules are clear. It could be argued that their vocabulary for describing the billing rules takes a bit of figuring out. I have a client that didn't understand either the rules or my instructions and did something silly and ran up a $5000 bill, when he was thinking it would be $100~$200. We called Amazon and they cancelled the bill.

Amazon is very easy to work with, if you simply tell them that you are an idiot and fucked up. You're not the only one.
A Dell Venue 8 Pro with Windows 8.1 is about $150-$200 (and is a damned nice machine, surprisingly enough.) I'm having trouble seeing the use case(s) for a headless Intel PC.
Sure it's clever but adding language features just to say "look what I wrote, it's clever is no excuse for building a language that's become a train wreck.

Actually, the rationale behind the language features you're criticizing is that people in the real world were already using some techniques in C++ in a needlessly complex and convoluted way, and these new additions not only simplify these implementations but also allow the compilers to output helpful, user-friendlier messages.

Take concepts, for example. You may not like template metaprogramming, but like it or not they are used extensively in the real-world, in the very least in the form of STL and Eigen. Template metaprogramming is a central feature of C++ consumed by practically each and every single C++ developer, in spite of rarely producing code them. Does it make any sense at all to criticize work to improve a key feature that benefits each and every C++ programmer, in spite of not having to write code with it?

And no one of sane mind would argue in favour of shoehorning #include and #ifndef/#define in detriment to a proper module system.

Just because you aren't familiar or well-versed with some C++ features, or aware of how extensively they are used, it doesn't mean they are not used or that the stuff you don't know automatically qualifies as a trainwreck.
Thanks for the explanation. In practice, it seems pretty similar, the manager has to estimate what is a reasonable amount of work an employee should be able to do. It's just that in my case it's over 42h/w and in your case it's more nebulous.

2 salaried jobs here would clearly be illegal though, even if in practice you could manage manage it by only working half the time per job. There are laws around how many hours you can do in a week, and two 100% jobs would blow over the limit.

It looks like the founder (according to LinkedIn at least) is also the founder of another ~100-person company, so I'm guessing they had some spare cash to incubate this.
I didn't read the article. But to think that a more reasonable person would have left the company is exactly you should think. If someone jumps off a building due to not being able to join their team of choice then there's a lot...a lot, more going on than job issues. They needed help that they unfortunately never received.

That's the whole point... at the very beginning the post cites articles that suggest or even outright say that AI is coming up with new theories (or in the CS world, see all the articles and bloviators who predict AI will replace programming as a job). Regardless of what the scientists in the field would say one-on-one, the outright-wrong portrayal of ML in the press, egged on by VCs out to flip their investments, is causing problems for anyone who wants to actually make progress in their field, or recruit students honestly.
dilemma probably is, if you build restrooms, they will do drug in there.
pollination "services" by literally trucking bees to new fields is a business that was popularized by one man in recent history.. the actual results of this are repeatedly disastrous, it seems .. The quick-draw response to "show me the prices" is badly insensitive to the way nature has worked for millennia.. this subject is fundamental to society across continents, yet off-the-handle remarks make it sound like a choice of bubble-gum flavors.. basically offensive and superficial
Really I would expect it to reoccur just from neural network forgetting over time alone - let alone human irrationalities.

I suspect the only way that would maybe go away would be both greater transparency requirements and the ability for the market to parse all of the data in an informed way. So in other words technically possible but probably not going to happen.
In my experience, employment law is the one area the service cannot address as they have the conflict of interest with the employer that supplements the cost of the program.
If you get drivers info by hacking a DMV database, it's prison. If you got the same details by paying a few millions for FOIA requests, you're a good citizen and a model tax payer.
"how many compiler experts have you worked with"

you meant CS PHDs? because it is a better analogy. My answer would be with many, because I am one of them.
Even if those fields completely stagnated, there's great progress to be made in high performance computing, security, bioinformatics, and human computer interaction (just to name a few).
Municipalities aren't a monolith. Some of the trickier restrictions where I live are the result of lobbying from neighbors who wanted to restrict parking to just residents during the day. They don't get any money from the fines.
That Skype uses supernodes is interesting, but makes some sense since it was developed by the same people who developed Kazaa (a P2P filesharing service), which as I recall has a similar architecture.
Heh, it's always funny to hear youngsters talk about what's "old" to them. And even funnier, is that pretty much every group has an older group looking back and going "you kids don't know what old is yet, now get the hell off my lawn."

Late 20's is young as shit to me.... now you 60+ year old fossils who might be hanging around can go write some COBOL or whatever it is you do... <tongue_firmly_in_cheek />
In other words, supernodes are nodes connected behind a routable IP with a minimum of bandwidth. They are used to provide NAT traversal for unroutable clients.

I can imagine ipv6 would greatly benefit Skype.
Maybe I'm just speaking from my experience in schooling, but shouldn't C be someone's first language?

Also it's great to namedrop Hacker News, but I think he should also mention seeking advice from Stack Overflow or any of the Stack Exchanges. Trial and error is good, but if you're tearing your hair in frustration, it's always to get backup from a solid support community.
I think one key thing is that lambdas are second-class citizens in Python in terms of the kinds of code you can express. Python lambdas can only contain one single expression and nothing else. For more complicated functions, in particular any function that requires statements, you are always required to use nested named functions, e.g.

myList = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
for elem in myList:
del elem[0]

cannot be done using a lambda, as

map(lambda elem: del elem[0], myList)

results in an error. Until Python 3, that also meant that

map(lambda elem: print elem, myList)

was also a syntax error because of the print statement. For a more elaborate example, consider the following JavaScript function which returns a function that increments a counter every time its called and returns the value before it was incremented:

function makeCounter() {
var value = 0;
return function() {
return value ++;
}
}

You would use this as follows:

> c = makeCounter();
> c();
0
> c();
1
... and so forth

There is no way to implement this in Python using lambda; the closest equivalent (assuming Python 3 for the nonlocal keyword) is

def makeCounter():
value = 0
def count():
nonlocal value
tmp, value = value, value + 1
return tmp
return count

because there's no way to have that assignment take place in a lambda.

Of course, Haskell has neither state nor statements, so the above examples don't literally show why Haskell's lambdas are necessarily superior, but the point isn't that Python disallows assignment in lambdas; it's that Python's lambdas can only express a subset of possible functions, while JavaScript and Haskell (and Scheme &al.) don't have that limitation.
Tax the rich is a response to "how are you going to pay for that program?"

That we hear "tax the rich" in isolation these days speaks more to the lack of the prompting question than progressives' dedication to the response.

The docsend just nests a public vimeo video. You could just post the link to vimeo.
By having it through an email-required docsend, it seems like chorusmeditation is more interested in the pii.
Anything more than citations would be too much for a HN comment. There's more depth in the citations for the excerpt I linked.

To oversimplify: Bitcoin has a limited supply, the majority of which is already held in too few hands, many of whom have a HODL attitude that prevents circulation. It also has transaction fees and technical obstacles that prevent circulation.

How can Bitcoin ever be widely adopted as money without strangling the real economy? Fiat isn't perfect, but at least it allows concentration of wealth to be countered by issuing more fiat money, even if too much of that goes to the rich.

And if Bitcoin won't be widely adopted as money, how is it going to be anything more than an speculative asset traded from one hand to another, with any profits extracted from a new speculator (sometimes called a pyramid scheme)?
Knowing something and wanting to acknowledge it are two entirely different things.
My employer moved trading clearing and EU reporting to Amsterdam in 2019 and early 2020 that couldn’t be done through the US via equivalence.

It however did not move any jobs or even opened new positions in Amsterdam, we did grew out London headcount by about 800 people through both hiring and acquisitions.
Is 'digital twin' anything other than a buzzword? Is there anything that distinguishes one from a model or a simulation? I had the misfortune of being introduced to the term by an executive who repeated it until is lost all meaning so I still bristle whenever I hear it. I've read the Wikipedia article, but it only increased my skepticism with blustery paragraphs like:

> Healthcare is recognized as an industry being disrupted by the digital twin technology.[45][34] The concept of digital twin in the healthcare industry was originally proposed and first used in product or equipment prognostics.[34] With a digital twin, lives can be improved in terms of medical health, sports and education by taking a more data-driven approach to healthcare.

On top of that, after about 10 seconds of looking at the page, images popped in and moved things... And then after scrolling that happened again, but I'm pretty sure things moved into different columns, making it even worse.
pynq is a good starting board. What's really good is the software environment connected to the fpga logic via Python ecosystem. There are lots of examples via Jupyter notebooks.
Stars are the most productive entropy sources in our Universe.

not only that. we've kind of merged two physics - motorcycles and cars, and both of these are not connected. For cities at low speed you can simply steer (traffic), but on a bit higher speeds you simply tilt by counter-steering. We wanted to keep the 'naturalness' and found out that for some reason nobody has done it before like this
> Parse your server's access log file. The way it had been done for decades. "Analog" was popular then, Should be better options now.

It depends how much data you want. Google Analytics can give you all sorts of juicy privacy-invading (but totally fine because its aggregated) data about your users which you won't get parsing the servers access log.
Agreed.

A quote I found (don't know any off hand):

“If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't! If you want to win, but think you can't, It's almost a cinch you won't. If you think you'll lose, you're lost; For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellow's will; It's all in the state of the mind. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger and faster man, But sooner or later the man who wins Is the man who thinks he can.” – Walter D. Wintle

It depends on the business, but I have found that finding community forums that have an interest in your niche is a good place for an advert. Email the owner or webmaster and negotiate the rate.

If you are a good fit for the site, the owner and community will love the added benefit. Give a discount and it will be a feature, or value added, benefit to being part of the community, not an annoying advert.
Give the #RubyOnRails users a way to paste a link (shorturl?) to people who come into the channel asking for premium help.

Make a game of it for the users, have a bot which reports the user stats (which users can auth via privmsg/ctcp password).

edit: a bot which reports stats on a request basis only, and privmgs all interactions with other users! no channel spam!

I have used radbox.me earlier to bookmark videos and it works fine.
Something in the $4.99 a month range would be a no-brainer.

Going forward I'd see the most important features to add as:

* some simple text formatting: bold, italics, bullet points.
* clickable URLs (opening in a new tab)
* a way to cycle throw the Z-order of the stickies, I keep moving them around to uncover the ones underneath
* fixing the weird bug where by new stickies appear off screen sometimes (Chrome 12 on Windows 7)
* Iframe integration -- let me create a sticky that embeds an arbitrary iframe. This would open up a whole pile of possibilities.
* Integration with a mobile app that replaces the corkboard metaphor with a simple pile of notes.

Hmmm fair point, also looks like Instapaper isn't registered as a trademark, 'Insta' is probably too generic, and paper is definitely too generic to trademark.

Perhaps I should stand corrected.
Step 3 would be to ask what does Step 2 have to do with anything?
The worst part is that George Carlin's rants from the '90s can be taken, copy-pasted verbatim and still not lose poignancy.

In USA. Yes. But America only accounts for 4.1% of world population. So.
My phone has an option called Do Not Disturb mode. I have set a schedule to turn it on everyday from 12AM to 11:59PM. What Do Not Disturb will do is block (silence the notification or ringer) every message or call from someone that is not in your phone book. While unfortunately you'll still get the spam SMS, but you wont get the alert.

The only way I can see striking back at these spam calls is to pick up the call and waste their time, because its expensive. Also if I pick up that means someone else is not getting scammed. I try to get as far along in the scam process as possible.
The irony of posting this on Reddit: huge.
The irony of me replying on HN: priceless.
Yes that’s my whole point. The norms being enforced now aren’t those of “general society” but of a tiny elite. That’s what’s different.
First, distinguish from crony capitalism and capitalism.

Copyright is not a capitalist idea nor are patents. Government choosing winners and losers via regulations is also not capitalist. Every so-called capitalist monopoly in history has either been vastly beneficial to society or was enforced by the government.

Could Microsoft create a non-beneficial monopoly without copyright? Their licensing scheme is entirely dependent on government enforcement. If pricing go too high, another company would move in, reverse the source code, and sell their own. In fact, this motive is so strong that people do this anyway despite the illegal nature of the operation.

Standard Oil is probably the go-to monopoly example, but it lacks intent. Oil prices dropped precipitously due to the economies of scale to the point that profit margins were (and still are) fractions of a cent per gallon (most of the "profit" from the cost of fuel is government taxation). This is a monopoly, but one of convenience and mutual benefit. If they started raising oil prices, another company could form.

The only sound argument to the contrary is exploiting human ignorance. A knowledgeable person can take advantage of a less knowledgeable person, but this issue isn't solved in any other economic system and in fact, becomes worse historically in Communist countries.
The (Google translated) details[1] of the police officer situation are interesting. He searched his fiancé in the police database and it seems like his employer is the one who reported it to the DPA. I’m actually a bit surprised a police force would report “one of their own” for such an infraction.

A central rotating/pulsating object and some surrounding graphical effects, timed with music, has been done in the demo scene for decades. It's doubtful Gantz Graf was inspiration for this or most other such demos.
Somewhat an off topic:

Something that puzzled my doctor - sometimes the effect ADHD meds have on me is that it makes me sleepy. After trial and error, I think I narrowed it down to the blood concentration. Now I use regular adderall ir generic and split it four doses through out the day - that setup almost eliminated the sleepiness effect while preserving focus (and sanity while remembering taking it multiple times a day).
It was also one of the major benefits in the (fast) transition from mini USB to micro USB! Mini usb had a bad habit of wearing out the port instead of the plug.

300 resumes arrive in your inbox and you need to narrow those down to a few, since you don't want to spend all your time interviewing. Are you more likely to prefer the ones who have been vetted already? Probably.
XML is actually very hairy and complicated. Consider entity encoding, whitespace (as in xml:space="preserve"), and namespaces. In contrast, the complete syntax of JSON is given in 5 simple flowcharts: http://json.org/

Nearly any competent programmer could hand-roll a tested, production-ready JSON parser in under a week. Try doing the same with XML. In practice there are plenty of JSON parsers out there to choose from, but being able to completely wrap your head around something is useful.
Hi - (this is my first post). I'm not sure I agree with that. For example: Starting in 2011, any vendor or independent contractor payment that aggregates to more than $600 in a year gets a Form 1099-MISC.

Do you think $50/month is worth all these paperwork? I sure don't.
First, 4ms is 3.4 orders of magnitude off 10 seconds.

Second, do you have any argument that isn't based on personal ignorance?

The stock market isn't even open at night, no one thinks that it is necessary to trade 20 times a second every second, they just want to. The stock market doesn't directly represent economic conditions, it represents investors assessment of economic conditions, thus it can change as fast as they can change their mind. If someone wants to only trade every ten seconds they can go ahead. If someone wants to open a stock exchange where everyone can only trade every ten seconds they can go ahead.
This is really just taking one person's (or one industry's) hiring issues and painting them as the cause of the entire economy's problems. If you actually ask businesses what their concerns are, slow sales come in way higher than a low quality labor pool.

http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/20/structural-imped...

Yes, there are probably sectors that need more employees. Yes, there are probably people whose old jobs have disappeared. That doesn't mean that structural unemployment is necessarily a significant factor in the economy's current problems, and there is considerable evidence to the contrary.
