That doesn't contradict what I said. "Remote-first" was more common in my experience too than "100% remote".
"I knew before reading the article this would be a defence of views which hold other lives to be worth less than the author (racism)"

People like Charles Murray have not asserted this, to my knowledge. He supports race-neutral policies, such as a universal basic income. The assumption that all talents or personality traits are equally distributed among all demographic groups is not necessary to support equality under the law.

Hi! I'm pursuing a Master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Warsaw. I'm looking for a summer internship opportunities, preferably outside Poland. My main interests are web development (mostly backend) and distributed systems in general. I have also experience in game development. When I program, the biggest pleasure give me optimizing stuff and clean code.
What about this experiment doesn't live up to standards? It seems well set up and supports the hypothesis that perception takes precedence to smell/taste when describing things.
It doesn't really make a difference in a case like this. Though certainly not an ideal algorithm, the chance of a collision for something like this is low enough to never be a concern.
This is why I'm entirely skeptical of this whole OnLive business.

If you're having trouble with a mouse cursor, then no video game that requires interaction will be playable. QuakeWorld, IIRC, was the first real game to solve the latency problem. And they did it with prediction that lets the UI maintain responsiveness while hiding latency. That game was playable up to maybe a 200ms ping time and with a dial-up modem. That's impressive. But it was also a lot of client-side magic, which is what VNC is doing with the mouse.

In addition to that, no Wii game will be playable with this thing, no FPS, no World of Warcraft, etc. etc. I think this is why serious game companies aren't even commenting on it. It doesn't even register to them. I can really only see OnLive taking business away from the Appstore or Android handheld markets. Extreme casual gamers that don't know the difference between an Xbox controller, a Wii nunchuk, and a 1980s joystick will be the market here.
"The demo seemed targeted specifically to existing FarmVille players, because I (having never played the game) couldn’t make heads or tails out of how one is supposed to play or what sort of entertainment it was supposed to provide."

FarmVille isn't intended to provide entertainment, it's only intended to addict you (to Zynga's benefit). It's one of the more horrible things one can invent with software.
Which college?
I don't know. I have worked with and around academics a few times. They can be surprisingly disorganized and crisis-driven/reactive. "Gets things done" is not exactly how I would describe the academics I've encountered.
well, as a user, there's no real way for you to know that aptitude purge completely removes everything, you have to trust that it works. Sure, as a power-user or developer, you can go look around /etc or /usr/share or wherever and remove all those configuration and documentation files, but will you?

I used debian for about a year, I trusted that aptitude purge removed as much as it could. I knew that trust was misplaced, but for my purposes as a user, it was good enough.

Similarly, for iOS devices, I don't know how well it removes config files and whatnot. I simply trust that it removes everything. I have slightly more trust in iApp config files being removed because these apps are sandboxed, and it's a relatively simple matter of removing the directory the app fills.
Indeed. I had a BSOD just the other day (in Vista).
I knew there were others lurking among the discussions on Erlang... :)

1.) Geo filtering is definitely going to be key for us at some point. Right now the system is designed to handle this, its just a matter of implementation really.
2.) Documentation is a work in progress. I just wrote the FAQ today afterall
3.) Currently a band's dashboard is located at that URL, but you have to be signed in to use it. Beatnex was originally supposed to be a myspace music on steroids (among other things, read: many iterations). I'm focusing on the gigging niche for now to get my foot in the door, and hopefully expand.
4.) The events issue is something I haven't quite thought through yet honestly. I'm open to suggestions!
5.) Thanks, you too!

I'd love to hear about what you're working on too. Shoot me an email if you care to share about struggles of a non-programmer in tech haha.
432 miles is farther that I expected.

Let's get high-speed trains running along the North East Corridor.

NYC to Philly - 95 miles
NYC to Washington DC - 225 miles
NYC to Boston - 220 miles
Washington to Bostin - 420 miles

That Amtrak train isn't going 150mph. Gotta take the curves out the tracks.
> I deeply disagree about iOS representing a good future for software.

Now that's a point worth discussing. iOS is locked down to the point where I would almost call it unusable -- we don't disagree here. However, I'm also convinced that some steps in that direction are needed to keep the "general-purpose computer" viable as a mass-market device. A computing environment that's open enough so that software can be useful, yet closed enough so that it can't be harmful. (Harmful defined in the broad sense that it can't have any unwanted or permanent effect on the system, including: changing the homepage, installing toolbars, running persistently in the background and so on.) All this has to work in the absence of a central authority.
Honestly there is no shortage of commercial pilots sitting around just waiting to get a bit of extra cash to observe your drone operation.

No shortage of starving commercial pilots who will work for peanuts.
Take note that about 20% of the country lives in Earthquake Country, where just about all residential dwellings tend to be built of wood.

You can also avoid targeting people who already support you. Or, in the case of Cambridge Analytica's brexit manipulation, identify those who have never voted before (using hundreds of indicators) and introduce them to politics... Their first information being propaganda from the leave campaign.
Yes, it does. Haskell is mostly used for small, single-purpose tools, or it's used to teach FP principles.

The number of repos on Github for Haskell is absolutely minuscule compared to every mainstream language.

There just aren't that many people using Haskell for real projects, nor are there lots of practical libraries for it. (You're free to name some examples if you disagree...)

Perhaps worse, Haskell is hard to learn. Sure your code is super-optimized for a compiler or whatever, but the learning curve is so high that you have to find someone else that's experienced in Haskell to work on your project. That's very, very hard.
Your post brings to mind an article by (I think) Ben Goldacre in which he recounts that inserting a stent to "solve" narrowing of the arteries has never been shown to be a net benefit to the average patient (except for emergency cases).

Nevertheless, cardiologists have continued to carry out operations to insert "new! improved!" stents which successively claim to eliminate the problems of previous designs over what is now something like three decades of medical practice. None of them have worked.

I'll try and find the article, but a quick web search hasn't turned it up.
Surely not all IPv6 addresses have been allocated yet though? Most of the web is still using IPv4.
The reporter clearly doesn't understand the difference between fixed and marginal costs.

It's possible for Bitcoin mining to be profitable on a marginal basis while at the same time not profitable once you take into account capital costs. So you keep mining because you make money on a day by day basis but not enough to pay back the costs of acquiring your original hardware.
Google Maps still has a lot of development work done in Australia. So it doesn't surprise me that the april fool launched 'early' in their timezone.
What a boring comment. Unfortunately, this comment reveals more about you as a person than it does about Ray Dalio for putting out that article. Too bad writing pessimistic comments about others on HN doesn't earn you any money, otherwise you could have made some too!

I'd love it if your comment could raise the same point as you did, but also include examples of the poor sentences and how it could be better. Then at least we could have learned something. Instead you went for the shallow dismissal. Boring.

We call that a pivot.
No one disputes that those are occupations (well except for China and Israel respectively) but in the context of propagandizing online comments to create a false popular opinion on the matter, Tibet and Palestine are different than Ukraine.
FYI their FAQ says the sync is "old" and the new tool which will be updated is drop to upload only.

Also, their file interface is far from modern. You can't drag and drop, right click to share, anything expected from all of their competitors.
"you don't have to write you apps this way" , but that's the point in making , is that the culture and parts surrounding Java, which I end up having to support and debug as part of the job, I don't get to use my time machine to go back and fix it.

I'm intimately familiar with the jvm and app dynamics and they do have wonderful tooling.

but, without that tooling I would be really paddling upstream.

call me old fashioned but I like simple tools, and golang I can profile faster and find bugs sooner. I have supported critical infrastructure on both platforms ( Java for many years , golang for 2) and it is not a hard choice to make for me, even with app dynamics and similar tools.

I checked, and even after the Twitter ban, President Trump can still post on the White House web site and on his own Trump brand web sites. He just can't use Twitter, Facebook, etc. right now.
I’m surprised they didn’t use a headline like “COVID Silver Lining: At least it cures cancer”.
Yeah, and so did Charles Manson, who also never laid a hand on anyone.
In 2 weeks, Trump will not be Mr President anymore but just a citizen and he will not have TV or radio shows to appear on. But forget about Trump: what if Facebook or Twitter decide tomorrow they are going to censor YOUR account? What recourse will you have? Nothing. Amidala was right: "this is how democracy dies: with thunderous applause".
Why should my grandma use a VPN anyway? I could not think of any reason.
That is the beauty of POSIX, write once, debug everywhere, fix with plenty of spaghetti #ifdefs.
you click the link, and can scroll through messages as if it were an article.

No you can not. Often times the posts are not in order. You have to expand multiple times and if you are unlucky you get pulled into another direction and miss half the story.

Unreadable isn't hyperbole. Maybe you have to have an account for it to be usable?

Note: the posted twitter-thread is the first I've seen that actually works for me. Not sure why that is.
Herein lies madness
Sorry if I was a bit snarky in my first reply.
As far as I understand this, you can't explain the structure of the Ulam spiral in a trivial way. You are correct that there is a trivial part to the spiral: diagonal lines alternate between odd and even numbers, therefore all the primes lie along diagonal lines. However, the structure is much richer than that.

The question is why certain lines have lots of primes and not others? why is a given polynomial so rich in primes, while other similar ones are not?
That's what some of these conjectures are trying to prove.
Feel unsure of whether your emails seems professional? Maybe you should read this really brief article...

Most of you probably don't need to read this, but seeing as it's so short and sweet; it probably won't do any harm. It seems as someone is having some sort of obviously worthwhile vent.

I'd be surprised if teachers didn't check out your blog before buying. Teachers "get" blogs, hell they LOVE blogs. They even get their students to blog (to build writing skills using peer interaction). Seems like the ones who are confident enough to go out and use your software may also be the ones who would check out the blog. Just a guess on my part, but at least keep an eye out for this.
I'm going through the "Behind The Wheel" series on Spanish now, and it's been interesting so far. I'm far from fluent in Spanish, but I've definitely learned a lot. One thing though... if you try to learn a foreign language, it helps a LOT if you have somebody to talk to - who is already fluent (preferably a native speaker). Without somebody to talk to, it's hard to really know how well you're doing.
On a tangent: Is XKCD really the most-viewed comic on the internet?

I wonder what people like Scott Adams thinks of it or whether they even get it. He understands technology but XKCD is geeky beyond that.
It would just turn into Reddit Island eventually anyway..

This is absolutely awesome. I make heavy use of ViolentMonkey and Stylus for my desktop experience, and after a decade of iPhone use, I feel I can replicate my desktop browsing habits on my phone.

I have a question about security, as I started porting my *Monkey scripts over, I notice there’s no API around access or security. If domain-specific extensions are shared in the community, what’s to prevent someone from developing a malicious script POSTing someone’s document.cookies to a DB?
I've been talking to myself on my runs for years now. it has been a fantastic time for problem solving, especially with coding and big life decisions
I don't know. I'm opposed to obituary threads on principle but at least some of them lead to interesting discussions about the era and field the person lived and worked in.

There's a reason celebrity and mainstream stories are off topic unless they present evidence of a new and interesting phenomenon that sparks intellectual curiosity - discussions tend to wallow in maudlin sentimentality, political snark or pop culture nonsense otherwise. A person's death alone, while unfortunate, doesn't meet the quality bar.
I thought that too. But, thinking about it, a lot of things do overlap. For example, part of the CO2 associated with unused food would be transport (so fossil fuel for a lot of it), storage (refrigeration, so electricity) etc. so would show up in those stats too.
It's quite easy to see a pattern. Same pattern appeared for Cowspiracy [0] and a similar one for The Game Changers [1].

The same pattern can be seen with regards to pandemic warnings before this one.

There's a very strong tendency to do business-as-usual and it's my non-optimistic belief that we will experience empty oceans and complete ecosystem collapse in our lifetime.

These events are white swans (just like the pandemic) and it's quite clear that our tendency for response towards white swans is inaction with "educated" dismissal.

Ok, they mention empty oceans by 2048, yes the study is applying a linear estimate (as oceans empty there might be some regulation to slow down the curve and the linear estimate is incorrect) but they are just discrediting the study without confirming the trend. What should I believe, that oceans are emptying or flourishing? Should I expect empty oceans in my lifetime or should I leave this worry to other generations? Also, I'd say that linear estimate is a wrong one because depletion can happen exponentially and regulation is just a small damp to an exponential collapse.

Was curious as to the 'whatever' it was, took a bit of Googling, so:

VCs = Angels = YC = Agents…They all finance and support young entities for a % of a future asset.

Compare a very scalable model, IMG Worldwide. Take baseball for comparison sake.

Talent Scout = PG colleague who reviews applications using performance criteria = bank using advanced credit scoring system to approve or reject loans

Reddit = Alfonso Soriano = Successful loan applicant

Paul Allen = PG = Drew Rosenhaus

YC is popular not because they aren't a VC but because they are a VC who provides more perceived value for what they charge. That means just like IMG, their model is scalable as long as their value proposition is maintained and continues to be favored. All YC needs to do to fund 1,000 companies next year is to hire/acquire/develop 50 more PGs with specialties in more focused markets and sub-markets. Not simple but definitately doable. Also fully automate the application and evaluation process so that "people" only touch the top 3%. Continue to be careful with funding amounts but generous with time and connections. Continue to distribute and increase your value through your customers by financing their meeting each other and adding value to each other. Basically, YC is a social network with most of the value right now distributed offline through their customers. News@YC will change that to be sure. I think it's not only possible to grow up real big, but the direction you are already headed. Just make sure your scalability has a bit of Ben & Jerry's thrown in, they did a great job of keeping their value system in place long after they grew. PG, you mentioned it's the scaling of the partners responsibilities that is hard. If the partners maintain the integrity of the barriers to entry (active role in developing and maintaining your application evaluation tool) and support (ensuring key events and high-level connections are solid and cascaded down from their organizations to yours) you can do it. Just my $.02.
>That's a regulated maximum wholesale price, not a fixed price.

Seems to be a price floor and/or set price.

> Texas’ Public Utility Commission, appointed by Abbott, raised the wholesale market price of electricity to $9 per kilo-watt hour — a 7,400% increase over the average 12 cents per kilo-watt hour — in response to rising demand. The hope was power generators would be enticed to produce more electricity.

OP here,
We did/do professional trainings for QML for quite some time,
but now that the technology is already around, we decided to publish our Basic QML Training as a video series on Youtube, together with excercises and all.
You will find all videos at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxyTkXLbcV4&list=PL6CJYn40gN...

Hope it helps and you reach your goals! :)
There’s no distinction anymore , just like DevOps is now a role not a movement, and hacker is a criminal not a maker. You can’t fight the natural language evolution when it’s buzzwords that people get hired on.

Don't strip away individual rights, unless they are trying to assemble a communistic state, then feel free to roll over them with your freedom tanks. What have 'we tried enough' of other than destroy nations as soon as someone wants to socialize resources that our greedy businessmen could've exploited?

Keep your goddamned 'Freedom to be ignorant' to yourself, the world does not need this export.

Pathetic.
Not sure why he said that it's a lie. I have had lucid and vivid dreams that felt very real. The most significant one was when I "woke up" but in a dream. I then woke up again but this time for real. It was so surreal and at first I wasn't sure whether I was actually awake or still in a dream...

It haunted me for some time after because I never expected something like in the movie inception to be possible in real life.
> Computer Science attracts upwardly mobile types who got into these schools because they were nerdy overachievers and tends not to attract people born into wealth (they typically have better options and coding isn't really that prestigious at this level).

This has not been my experience at all. There are plenty of wealthy ivy CS students. Most non-wealthy CS people go to a more "normal" university known for CS like UW or CMU.
Looking if an existing solution is available; we could build it ourselves obviously, but it's not a core feature and it seems a lot like a reusable thing to build as a library.
I'm a hacker who has built a ton of services with Nginx, and the concerns you all raised were my initial concerns as well. I've been lucky enough to work closely with the guys at Nginx (we even had an Nginx feedback meetup [shameless plug http://sfhackernews.com]). Brilliant group.

This product is built with your help. The roadmap reflects services you requested, but in no way would this company ever prevent the scene from offering additional patches, etc. that would serve to better the product itself.

If anything, this should be a welcome hint that this company is seriously looking forward to the future of growing itself into a competitive entity that is vigilant about bettering what services/products it offers.

Yeah, it's language sugar to capture variables (including automatics) from an outer scope and make them available to an anonymous function. This may involve copying the variables to other storage (e.g. to heap) if the anonymous function will be run outside the context of its caller.

Also, the language may, if it provides some sugar to allow the anonymous function to appear to return to the caller, e.g. through async/yield/co-routine type semantics, also transparently copy back the variables to the callers' locations.

As per another commentator, 'lambdas', 'closures' and 'anonymous functions' are used equivalently by different people and/or fields.

As a C programmer primarily, I was long confused why higher-level programmers went on about "closures". They're nothing special, we do this kind of stuff in C all the time. We have to do it by hand ourselves, the language doesn't give us shortcuts. It's not really mysterious and we don't have fancy names for it. Sometimes I wonder if the reason some higher-level programmers treat these things so reverentially is, perhaps, because there is an element of mysticism to it, borne of lack of understanding of what is happening "under the hood"?
