I'll have to try that next time I'm struggling with pandas.

One thing to look into is figuring out some logic of cancellation to clean up the generated code. Even if you just checked back one step it would mean less Foo_Bar['D'] = 0.

I think saving the analyses in the home directory is defeating the purpose. One appeal of a notebook is that you can break all the steps out and show them to someone, add commentary, etc.

I'd want to use it interactively to figure out how to get my data looking the way I want, and then show off how the analysis works by pulling out non-interactive Step widgets that visualize changes into their own cells.

That said, I'm often doing stuff with numpy so I need the notebook to document exactly what the dimensions mean, why I did a "clever" thing, etc.

Also, as long as "import mitosheet" is hitting your analytics APIs, it's going to set off alarm bells if we try to use it inside our VPN. The compliance people are not likely to look at what it's sending or why, they'll just ban it and move on.
One important thing to note is that Islam also prohibits chaining together permitted contracts, with the intention being trying to circumvent or dance around the prohibition. For example, you and I can engage in the following set of transactions: I can sell you my phone for a certain price in installments (say $120 over 12 months, and $120 is the fair market value). Then, I go back and buy back my phone from you for $100 cash. The net result is that I paid you $100 and you owe me $120 over the course of the year. This is clearly usury, and placing an item in between is just kidding ourselves.

The same applies to more elaborate schemes that involve multiple parties or transactions. For example, it is possible to engage in a futures contract with the intention of gambling (buy oil or some commodity, and never take delivery of it and sell it immediately when the contract is due). This is gambling, your intention was never to actually possess the item, but only to immediately sell and either make a loss or profit.
I also started programming using my calculator. I would write programs that fed me equations I needed to memorize via a menu system but by the time I programmed it, I had already memorized it and never needed to use it.
Many light rail systems discontinue or change portions of their system. It doesn't happen often in underground sections because those are usually built only in the densest portions of a city which would tend to have high ridership.

I think it's more the tunnel that makes these lines less likely to be discontinued, rather than the train. Tunnels are just expensive to move whether they're for trains or for busses.

For example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Defunct_New_York_City...
But is it fair to compare light rail with subways? Seems to me light rail is the worst of all worlds: Slow, low carrying capacity, subject to the same traffic as cars and probably expensive.
> Although M1 still have shitty keyboard

On the contrary, much like the 16" 2020 MacBook Pro, this is probably among the best MacBook keyboards ever created. Apple definitely stepped it up when they finally responded to the criticism of the 2016-2019 MacBook keyboards.
Repeatable, measurable, automated image meme shitposting is absolutely a destructive device though.
> You'd have to develop quite a sophisticated model of human behavior to infer that they are treating it as a contest and care about the results.

Sure. But again, trying to understand chess without having that understanding would be putting the cart before the horse.

> Even then, if they've previously seen humans at a casino, they might reasonably deduce that chess is no more a game of skill than craps is.

That would be a reasonable starting assumption, but they'd eventually notice contradictions: the fact that some players consistently had advantages over others, more experienced players generally beat less experienced players, commentary and analysis of board positions is considered worthwhile...
"There’s a joke about immunology, which Jessica Metcalf of Princeton recently told me. An immunologist and a cardiologist are kidnapped. The kidnappers threaten to shoot one of them, but promise to spare whoever has made the greater contribution to humanity.

The cardiologist says, “Well, I’ve identified drugs that have saved the lives of millions of people.” Impressed, the kidnappers turn to the immunologist. “What have you done?” they ask.

The immunologist says, “The thing is, the immune system is very complicated …”

And the cardiologist says, “Just shoot me now.”

I just get a postal box near my house.
what no-code solutions are you using?
When I say "indefinite", I just mean that you don't seem to have a standard for how long the lockdown can be at maximum. The lockdown in my area, for instance, were imposed with no expiration date or even a clear explanation of when it'd start be lifted. (Which is why I'm very frustrated with people who seem to be siding with that kind of vague policy.)

Maybe I'm mistaken and you're not on board with that. Is there some definite period of lockdown you're in favor of, where after that period we accept we've done what we can?
I had pneumonia when I was 14 (weakened immune system after growing 6 inches in 8 months...) and the doctor prescribed breathing exercises which were very helpful. There was of course a ton of ABX as well as inhaled steroids, but after all of that, the breathing exercises were what helped to restore me to normal. (The Prednisone actually did a lot of harm, don't go off it without a taper!)
Yes, HEPA filters are more than sufficient if they genuinely meet these specifications.
It'll be way too hot to comfortably sleep in anyway.
> Then about a week in I remembered why you should never build a DSL over a DSL

Yes.. I was very excited to do the same, even automate it in a way.

It's a tool that is (IMO) impossible to automate.. Making it easier is project dependent... But it wont translate for someone else usually.
I happen to have a couple of protective masks but they're specifically intended for non-toxic dust, like sawdust or whatever, so I'm not sure if they would serve any purpose.
Backlog, scope, and deadlines.

- Backlog:

>When I think about things they are all sounds interesting to me, especially if they are connected to technology.

Writing ideas down with a timestamp "frees" up your head, reduces overwhelm, and makes ideas that feel grandiose in the fog of your mind look puny. Writing down ideas reveals the adjacent possible, the most urgent, and the most actionable.

I use taskwarrior with a "+musing" tag. Many times some ideas will morph and get combined with others, and make their way into product.

Writing ideas down allows you to be lazily productive and gives you perspective.

- Scope:

>I have a lot of books and articles to read, topics to explore, projects to finish but every time when I'm trying to dig into it I end up feeling tired and resigned.

You are overwhelmed. Depending on context, some times call for having one book or one article to read, one topic to explore, one project to finish.

Other times benefit from having five books open and cross referencing/checking/complementing.

It appears you need at least one win and so having one book to read one page at a time may help. The scope is one page, then another, then another. That said, I wouldn't feel guilty about dropping a book like a hot rock. I will not waste life on a lousy book I started reading for the sake of discipline. Not all books are equal, that's why I curate. I get references to content from content I respect and like, not from a ready-made best selling list. This increases the odds of reading books I start.

- Deadlines:

>I've tried ti blocked time-wasting pages (like 9gag/reddit/etc.)

Given two processes competing for the same reagents or resources, making one of them efficient can make it consume resources faster than the other. One resource is time, one process is productive, the other is unproductive; both compete for time.

Deadlines increase focus to the point you will not need to force yourself to avoid distractions, you will simply not have enough time because you spent it on more useful things.

Sometimes I'll say: this hour, I'll read this article and will do this only. I'll refactor this sub-system by end-of day. I'll increase code coverage by X% in one day.

I find it good to set agressive deadlines. Whenever I say "it'll probably take X" I usually halve it and feel a "mini-panic" that shows I'm not confident I can do it by that deadline. Not feeling a mini-panic means I'm comfortable with the allocated time, which means I'm either clueless and can't estimate, or that I'm getting complacent.
Inflation.

That’s the consequence. But it’s been so long, everyone who fought the last war is dead or retired.

If we keep demand the same, by paying a quarter of GDP, but supply contracts....same dollars of demand for less quantity.

Like the cost of face masks or paper towels, but for all the other stuff that doesn’t get made.
Why not share what you're actually working on? Seems like more "Inspirational Startup Quotes"
Only 6 months access is a big turn off for me. Even if I use it for less than 6 months, I like the feeling that I could go back to the site and practice, if I wanted to. I'm guessing over 90% of users would not use it for the whole time, so server costs would seem like a non-issue.

EDIT: I spent so long typing this that organsnyder had the same response.

In addition, I feel that the price point is off a little here. I think that dropping the price (or at least adding unlimited access) would increase the amount of people buying the game at a higher percent.
> Howso? The VPS can shut you down as well?

Yes. but VPS is a standardized commodity. If one provider shuts you down you can just switch to another.
The cancel culture loves to state absolutes as gospel truth and that hurt feelings are all that needs to happen in order prove their point. It's pretty weak from any logical point.
No, we'd only mark a story a [dupe] if it got significant attention in a different thread. I haven't heard back yet, but the likeliest explanation is that a moderator (correctly) thought that one Tank Man story on the HN front page was enough.

Edit: oh - I think that one was actually marked a [dupe] by software. I'd need to double check this, but if so, it's because it interpreted the link to the other thread as a signal of dupiness.

Edit 2: yes, that's what happened. When a submission is heavily flagged and there is a single comment pointing to a different HN thread, the software interprets that as a strong signal of dupiness and puts dupe on the submission. It actually works super well most of the time. In this case it backfired because the comment was arguing the opposite.
What you mean by GPU cores here?

In their marketing terminology, the jesters at NVidia are calling SIMD lanes "cores".

For F32 operations, 50 AVX512 cores have 60*(512/32)=800 SIMD lanes. And of course there are about 64 cores per x86 server CPU now at the high end.
So now the auto manufacturers know they don't need to worry the next time it looks like there will be a downturn. They can cancel orders and if they turn out to be wrong just get on the phone to their favourite politician.
My favorite recent WTF:

On French keyboard, the numbers 0-9 and special chars (#$&@...) are swapped, so you need "shift+<num>" to type in a number. Effect on the web compat:

A phone number validator on French lowcost railway website was built/tested with French keyboard only; they were checking input codes in JS on each keypress and only allowing the presses of certain keys with shift enabled. Since you can't type a number on QWERTY with shift enabled, I was unable to complete the form until I realized what's up by reading the JS and switched to AZERTY layout.

(copy-pasting into the input didn't work either)

---

Unrelated aside: as I was raised in Poland which is based on US QWERTY and all programs using US shortcuts (with the only quirk being AltGr mentioned in other comments), I was mind blown than in other countries it's customary to localize shortcuts.

For example in Spain in notepad.exe, save is not CTRL-S but CTRL-G ("guardar").

In France, you don't bold in Excel with CTRL-B, you bold with CTRL-G ("grossir"). For some reason Excel online only lets me use the FR version despite settungs all possible locale settings to en and this drives me nuts.
Anything to do with graphics if you have a dedicated card never works properly out of the box
Forth, still. Written a few bits but want to get serious.
No more new languages for a little while. New algorithms and problem domains instead.
I'm a Googler with the opposite complaint: in my neck of the woods we seem to be so picky that you start to wonder how any of us ever got hired. A person can do 10 or 20 interviews and have none of them (even the ones who seemed good) get an offer.

Google's a big company, so I'm sure that some pockets err on one side, some on the other.
Erlang is definitely the most fun language I've learned in many years. It will make you think very differently then most other languages and at least slightly change the way you think about everyday programming.
For some reason this comment read like a longer more elaborate blog post with some pizzazz powder sprinkled all about it. Well done sir.

Actually... I think the way you finished with a cliffhanger (even though I already know the story) is what won me over. The perils of being a cliffhanger junkie I guess.
Yeah, I went through the learn-every-programming-language-possible stage in late college and the couple years afterwards. I eventually decided that no language is going to boost your effectiveness as much as knowing your problem domain very, very thoroughly. There's a lot of depth in specialized algorithms that isn't visible to someone in college or a web shop, yet many of the most lucrative startups come from specialized algorithmic knowledge.
“This article is pretty bad. I’ll make it worse by acting equally poorly in the comments.” Is that your logic?

I do have things to discuss — your behavior, and why you’re so aggressive.
I think the difficulty is in knowing who is exploited and who is not.
I highly recommend this lecture: https://youtu.be/Unzc731iCUY
In theory yes, and we got tiny programs running this way, but could not afford to keep subsidizing megacorp politics.

Nvidia punts to IBM RHEL8 docs for GPU podman, which is unusual and risky to see. We officially recommend against it for HA environments due to this kind of lack and overall low relative confidence. I think k8s envs may be moving to something here, so maybe in a year or two? I'd be curious of folks doing stock rhel8 podman with tensorflow/torch on nvidia, which should be as vanilla as you can get for enterprise ai. We generally see more interesting GPU envs here (ex: DGX with advanced networking hw/sw), but we don't have confidence for the simple case, which is the starting point..
Yeah I thought about that too. Would be very useful in remote areas. Probably won't work with the current batch of cars however.

With that said, telsa promised 3g free with the model s for another 4 years. Maybe timing with the satellites?
No, it's more like complaining that a very small set of music cherry-picked over a very long period of time, from hundreds years of music, is better than the majority of music from today. Which isn't a complaint, it's a straightforward observation. The parent didn't say 'literary fiction' in general.
Considering the byline on this wired article, I'd be cautious about ascribing any accuracy to it. This is pre-scandal lehrer. I have no idea how much review Wired has done of his previous work for them, but it's very much a reader-beware situation.
A lot of people love their Peloton bikes and the associated service, but all I could think about when Wallstreet was hyping them is how big, really, can the premium exercise market be? And further, the exercise market is a fad market. Nothing sticks around for more than a few years, maybe a decade. Anyone remember CrossFit? P90X? Richard Simons? BowFlex?

Yes, Peloton will be around for awhile, but the growth was never sustainable. I think it is strange anyone thought it would be.
>is usually a really good starting place

No, you are getting misleading results because you have an imbalanced dataset.
It is basically WebRTC, but without SDP and Offer/Answer mechanism.
What’s the point in trying to even have a discussion about this if there is nowhere to read the actual tweets he posted?
And the MEGA account was banned.

"This folder/file was reported to contain objectionable content, such as Child Exploitation Material, Violent Extremism, or Beastiality. The link creator's account has been closed and their full details, including IP address, has been provided to the authorities."

It's a shame that it is so easy to abuse reporting and censor things you do not like.
We are in bad shape if the best defense one can give of the current media is to call it a more efficient version of the worst period in modern journalistic history.
You support killing rioters, eh? Care to define rioter? At what point does a worked up crowd of protestors become a riot? What if the police use agitators? What if a couple of protestors start damaging things, but the rest of the crowd remains peaceful? What if the rioters are running away, is it still okay to kill them? What if the rioters are legitimately trying to prevent a fascist regime from taking over? Do motivations count at all? Is it rioting to run from black-blocks? Is it rioting to shout at police lines? Is resisting arrest rioting?
... but still a company that you have to "trust". I'd rather have a protocol that will allow me to not trust anyone and still be secure/private by default.
>There is little doubt that if any of the extra-legal or simply bogus attempts to overthrow the election had succeeded, these senators, and most likely the republican party as a whole, would have been happy to go along with that act, in what would, in reality, have been a coup d'état.

You could describe the 2000 election as a successful bogus attempt to overthrow an election. Has America already had a coup d'etat?
This really puts the book 'True Names' in perspective.

May be the mailman could be a fast thinker.
agreed, especially given the recent discussion about talent wars... I would expect salaries to be higher given the war
I'd like to take this space to apologize on behalf of my state, Wisconsin. Can't believe my beloved Feingold voted for this :(

Image of 'Spastic' Transformer

http://www.seibertron.com/images/toys/uploads/1289368510_PCC...

It seems they have no plans to launch this in the UK or Europe, but still - not sure why they think it's OK to launch a product this this name in the US - what does it mean to you?

Also: http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/847753-transformers-toy-called-...

It seems that 'spaz' and 'spastic' are used as /light hearted/ insults in the US.

In the UK this is a derogatory term referring to someone who has cerebral palsy, and is extremely offensive. It is ranked as the second most offensive disability-related term (Source: BBC Ouch!, 2003).
We use a pretty nifty technique that isn't CSS for rendering icons on the blip.tv HTML5 player. Depending on the context, we use a <canvas> tag to display either the vectorized or rasterized version of the icon. For the player itself, not a single image request is required for the thing to draw. And we don't run into the nasty anti-aliasing stuff you see with small icons and <canvas>.
It's "memristor", not "memresistor"
You have a point, but...

...but the structure of modern society, and the ideology since 1945 of having the UN around, is to lower the nationalistic propensity everywhere. And there was a good reason for that. But it has produced side-effects. Nationalism is a big no-no today.

So people don’t feel like they belong to a group. There are just, many groups living next to each other, London is a symbol of that but Paris is well in line, and all of France is made of groups who live next to each other, and don’t like each other.

Military service was praised by the elderly as instigating a sense of belonging and cohesion (among all the evil it also did on the weaker half of the population, I’m not having rosy glasses here).

So, basically, it has been more than 70 years that your idea of a nation going bowling together is a big no-no, and we work hard on mixing people, which... let’s say it doesn’t work yet, to be nice... I mean we all have a daughter who’s been raped by the « other » group so I don’t personally think it will work, but if it will, you’ll have to invent something that solders our co-country with us.

Of course bowling together is a good idea, but it works with small groups, and we’ve killed the glue that holds larger societies together (for good reasons at the base).

Also, my best friend and I cut ties after we’ve seen each other’s life choices is about exploiting the other, so I have at least one counter-example that going bowling together doesn’t tie people closer, when one is causing harm to the other with his life choices.

My opinions is, we do need less ideology, because we’ve reached peak brainwashing in 2020, and social networks need to accompany research and science and discovery of stats formulated in an digestible manner, instead of hammering onto people that one’s opinion is right and the others are evil.
Maybe reddit should completely end moderation then? So progressives and liberals can take over /r/conservative and post anything they want without fear of being banned? No more 'flaired users only'?

because that's ALSO censorship, no?

Also, who's stopping you from starting a reddit competitor and saying whatever you want? You have ZERO rights to THEIR customers, their users, etc.

I mean, can you go to the local news station and get on the air whenever you want? Because they aren't saying what you want to hear? No. They control who they put on the air. Social media is no different in this aspect.
I bet it won't be, cause it's congress.

I'm no small stater, but we need to find a way to put the interesting stuff back in democratic control...like a parliamentary system that recognizes executive vs legislative division is a bad idea.
There are lots of mechanisms to fast-track changes. If Ford changes the headlight assembly on the next year Mustang, they don't go and crash the car again. They (or a supplier) fill out the certification form showing that their testing indicates the new headlight assembly abides by all the regulations imposed on vehicles, and submit it to the relevant state and federal bodies.

You can generally tell what revisions are straight-forward to certify and which are not by noting common year-to-year changes in a model.
"Then they sold to Facebook and broke that promise."

This is really a false narrative.

The 'sell out' was the 'sale to Facebook'.

A business is not really going to necessarily keep that kind of promise, they are going to do what's best for them - that's why they made the acquisition.

This idea that the WA founders could somehow hold Zuck to that 'promise' is fantasty. They are not naive, they knew what they were doing.

Not only did they know there was nothing they could do otherwise, but that there would be an existential pull from FB to push for data sharing that would be unavoidable.

The 'moral high ground' that the founders tried to take in public is really kind of despicable, because they knew exactly the cards in play when they sold.

If the 'promise' was to do with branding, or something secondary, but fine. But you don't sell drugs to a drug dealer with the promise that the dealer won't deal drugs.

Anyhow, we are where we are. People should fork over $1 month for chat. It would make a big difference.
How do you make money? Only from companies posting jobs?
