The proliferation of JavaScript libraries is sort of like what happened when Amazon.com came online and you now could choose from +1M books instead of the 10K that were available at your local non-big-box bookstore.

No longer are you dealing with a scarcity situation, where the bookstore was your filter, but an overload situation where you could access everything as easily as a click. Amazon dealt with this by allowing for ratings (one to five stars), reviews and ratings of reviews. It also tracked what books people bought in the end. I think this can be applied to NPM and other non-JavaScript package managers.

We have much the data in Github and NPM to do this, with the exception of proper ratings (stars are not that informative, as they are only positive) and proper written reviews.

I'll be honest, there is a real space to move in this direction towards collaborative filtering of packages based on both implicit and explicit signals.
I am sorry. This is more money then most people earn in their lifetime.
I hope your other investments are safe and doing good.
c9 is awesome! One thing keeping me though is realtime collaboration in the open source edition. (Gotta self host, flaky internet).

The closest alternative currently is CoVim.
:x
the world would probably a better place if people published stuff because they thought it would matter to do so, not for ad revenue.

Replace "published stuff" with whatever you do in your job every day to make a living and replace "ad revenue" with "compensation".

Doesn't sound quite so nice, does it?
[edit, added the question]
reminds me hof how I taught the c64 one of wolfram's 1d automata (as in http://www.mathpuzzle.com/MAA/42-From%20Keyfobs%20to%20Ringt... ) by heavily relying on lookup tables and bit shifting which got down the calculation times to about 30s for the whole 320x200 hires screen. Fun times.
I always assumed it was British random dry humor, much like the show "Look Around You" [1] and more specifically their episodes around "maths" the full episode of which I can not find.

Basically read Thomas' dissent.

1.) The Court skirted the issue of whether APIs are copyrightable. If they were, it would be bad, but it's unclear if they aren't copyrightable as a matter of the law as written.

2.) The majority held on the basis of fair use and, as Thomas argues, that's arguably a stretch--and certainly a very fact-dependent one.
This is why it's called The Nixon Seminar:

"The Nixon Seminar on Conservative Realism and National Security is monthly gathering of senior statesmen and rising specialists in various aspects of great power competition and American national security, to discuss issues of current and continuing importance to the nation’s interests abroad co-chaired by former Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo and former National Security Advisor Ambassador Robert C. O’Brien. Dr. Henry Kissinger serves as Honorary Chair."

Epubs are basically what "motherfuckingwebsite.com" advocates for.

Despite being HTML/CSS, the layouts aren't particularly interesting though. Most content reads from top to bottom, and the formatting is identical whether you read it on a phone or a tablet.
Thiel is a textbook pseudo-intellectual. Thinks he’s super smart because he made a ton of money as an entrepreneur and believes it makes him some kind of statesman. While I think there are some successful entrepreneurs out there that do have some of these qualities (maybe Gates?), Thiel sure isn’t one. As you point out, his intellectual bankruptcy is in plain sight
The name surely recalls the same word as the acronym of Code Of Conduct, which I always wondered why are they using that acronym in texts (like "Enforcing a CoC") and nobody is complaining. But then I think it's just because I am a non-native English speaker and perhaps it sounds/reads differently?
And yet we're left with this incredibly outrage-inducing headline that only a small fraction of readers will look further into.
If I understand correctly the docs we found, there were 3 "flavors": "Grafik-COLLAGE", "Alpha-COLLAGE", and "X-COLLAGE". I assume the first would be for some sort of clever terminal, the second for non-graphical terminals, and the last one for X servers.

At the time I thought it was odd that the windows ended up aligning at character cell borders, which would indicate a terminal with some form of redefinable character set.
I live in a small college town (Golden, CO) and I love biking through campus, or, when the weather is nice, sitting under a tree and reading a book for a little while.

I'd love for some of those design patterns (grassy streets, walking paths more than roads, etc) to percolate outwards into the rest of Golden.
Cold storage would be just as secure.
Non clickbait headline: Medicine has some data collection biases (if your aim is to represent US demographics).

Long existing non-ML methods suffer due to this data collection bias but again for some reason the author seems to put AI in a special mysterious place on a pedestal. They use innuendo and anecdote to make assertions without evidence to back them up as systemic problems unique to AI. Innovation will never happen if new technology has to perform perfectly, it only has to perform better than existing methods.
Thanks iamcreasy - again, we do not handle soon-to-be or recent graduates. Everything about the graduating student employment market is different - the process, the expectations, the communications, the resume required, etc.

It's really best at this point to follow the guidance of your career services office.
Given that bink has been around for ages, it almost always finds a niche of decoding stuff fast for video games.

As a game you will always want more cycles for level loading or whatever else happens in background as you also play that video so bink-like specialized and super lean and fast library will always have a use in that scenario.

Gstreamer is a pain to set up, and when you do set it up it uses tons of threads, ffmpeg isn't nicer either.
You can. Only deduct (married) if you pay more than 10-15k of interest a year? Or am I missing something (itemized deductions is now at 20k limit or so).

Edit: and since you need to pay taxes on dividends in bank accounts, you would need something like 3.5-4% interest to match the gains from prepaying the mortgage at 2.75%?
That story was retracted, the officer is still alive: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/07/politics/capitol-police-offic...

But yes, while I agree that those who actively attacked police officers will get more jail time, those who essentially treated it like a mob-tour of the Capitol will not.
It lets the rich pay for the dental problems of the poor. It's also a form of income redistribution.
> The more you work on them the more enjoyable they become

Hmmm. After a decade of running, swimming and circuits I still detest them every day just as much as when I started.

The key might be that one can only enjoy activities that are done purely for whimsical reasons.

This is something I found amazing about WeChat as well. You can schedule appointments with barbers, doctors, physicians, etc all through custom interfaces implemented by 3rd party vendors within the app. It's kind of like its own operating system. And for all of the needs that aren't already covered, you can always resort to basic text messaging (again through WeChat). This probably covers 100% of business communications: customers talking to vendors, vendors talking to customers, and vendors talking to other vendors. The only thing missing as far as I know is a way to communicate with government entities to e.g. file paperwork and such. But I'm sure that will come in time.
Why couldn't you add a plain HTTP caching layer (e.g. Varnish) on top of PostgREST?
If you look at the Github repository, you will see that I have a license file that specifies GPLv3. "Contact me" really only means "I haven't setup a site for you to buy a dual-license for non-FOSS projects yet, because the project isn't done".
I am so sick, sick, sick -- down to my bone marrow -- of this modern, hip, insidiously balkanizing form of racism.

> stealing black musical sounds and styles

I don't find myself building walls like this, constructing a fortress based around my ethnicity. I don't think of myself as white, or black, or really, anything at all. My body's coordinates in the DNA hyperspace just aren't very important to me! Yours aren't very important to me, either.

But DNA hyperspace coordinates seem very important to some people. They seem to think we should care about them very much and think about them much more often, and treat people differently based on them.

They also seem very confident when they declare just where to draw the lines of ethnicity. "This person", they say, "is black, and this person is white, and this person is, well, it's hard to tell, but we can be sure they're a person of color," and so on. And, incredibly, they seem very sure what innovations and pieces of culture belong to which groups.

To me, it's an incomprehensibly fine spectrum, and an impossibly complex graph of social interactions, and I would be hard pressed to say anything about it with certainty, but this type of person seems to know, somehow. They visually scan a person and easily ascertain whether that person is authorized by ethnicity to do certain things. Iggy Azalea stole musical sounds and styles that belonged to black people -- unassailable fact -- and she should give them back, and apologize, and never do it again.

Well, I actually think it would be good if we cared about ethnicity and gender much less than we do now. I think that's actually how to be less racist and sexist -- to not care very much about ethnicity or gender.

I also reject cultural appropriation. Culture is like an infinite number of blenders recursively blending an infinite number of machine guns that constantly shoot out more blenders. Get used to it. Nothing is special, nothing belongs to you. "Your" thing is going to be reinterpreted unpredictably in other peoples' minds, folded, spindled, mutilated. You have no control over it, and nor should you.

To me there is one type of human, ONE. We're all basically the same. We're in an awkward time right now because a very thin veneer of difference in the form of languages and culture makes it easy to believe we're a bunch of different tribes and need to fear and distrust each other. I want to tear down the walls between us -- but this weird, annoying, dangerous mind virus is all about building the walls back up. Well, could you please knock it off?

Or go ahead and continue building the walls. Barricade yourself in your special fortress because you're an X, and encourage others to barricade themselves in their own special fortresses because they're Ys or Zs or whatever else. That's your choice. But please, please, please, stop claiming to be against racism, when really you'd love it if everyone would just be racist in the way you'd prefer.
> for one, stop making a few hundred requests for a page

Telling the world "you're doing it wrong" is not a pragmatic solution. HTTP/2 exists to improve the web as it exists today. In this, it demonstrably succeeds.

For the same reason Javascript will remain the assembly language of the web, so too will HTTP/1.1 semantics likely persist forever. It's not because it's what we want but because there is no (yet) known transition away from it. HTTP/2 doesn't replace HTTP/1.1. It just deprecates a horrible wire format and adds some other features.
All cancers are a result of bad luck. Genes and lifestyle only shift the odds.
Good to know - thanks.

I was mostly just asking because of my own time constraints until the end of this month. Either way, I will definitely reach out to you by February!
I wrote something similar sometime back:

But the ability to list the files being copied is brilliant indeed.
would be a better pocketwatch or pendant.
This is exactly how I buy them. I used to sell them. Know exactly what you want. Pit three dealers against each other for the same car (exact product code) for a few days. Have funding secured already from a credit union but don't tell the dealer until you're in their finance office and they fail to provide better terms than your CU did
The point here is that the same functionality could be implemented way more efficiently even with shell scripts.

The idea of using standard UNIX tools for the showcase is good one. Basically, it tells you that a modern FS is very good at storing chunks of read-only data (one don't need Java for that) with efficient caching and in-kernel procedures. That using pthreads for jobs is a waste, because context-switching has its costs, etc.

To put it simple - by mere rewriting basic functionality in, say, Erlang, one could get orders of magnitude more efficient implementation.

The only selling point of Hadoop is that it exist (mature, stable, blah-blah). It also has one problem - Java. But as long as hardware is cheap and credit is easy - who cares?
This is why I believe in Bitcoin and work on its infrastructure. It doesn't need government. You don't need to ask for permission. There is no way you can massively steal it from individual wallets or in many cases even know that someone has a certain amount of money. Governments can't fund wars and can't just bail banks out by more taxation and printing more money. Bitcoin is the answer.
I didn't think ESAs were accommodated by those laws. Only Service Animals.
It's more like a struct from C.
Exactly. If I go to the local tabac/bar/newsstand and proclaim that I need an emotional support animal, I'd be laughed out of the country. Or, more likely, they'd pour me a Pastis and tell me to find a woman.
Perhaps a shock collar for humans, when they bring yappy dogs into public places?
I'd say that in very small teams (up to 6 people), it's better to not have a certain leader. Someone will become more dominant in the group anyways (usually a person whom everyone trusts and likes). In big teams, it's hard to get anything done without someone set to lead it.
I have been using this Samsonite backpack: https://www.samsonite.co.uk/guardit-2.0-laptop-backpack-17.3... for pretty much daily for the past couple of years.

It has been excellent, looks and feels like new, really big pockets and fits a ton of accessories.
It's not a crisis, but it's also not a myth. That book is debated. The revenue generation (or savings) through that process is limited to about 4% GDP, but also causes inflation.
In what way is gaming nerdy ... seriously.
I read that sentence. The article is not the only source of truth in brain function, and its author may be too certain about the brain. In any case, there will always be dissimilarities between biological neurons and computations on silicon, which probably shouldn't be called neurons, in order to avoid confusion.
Same (though "I moved to a new area" happened in 2004). At this point I've just blocked the entire old area code and neighboring ones, aside from existing contacts.

Will somebody please call SCP already ;)
That sounds like exactly the sort of statistical analysis people tend to get spectacularly wrong. I'd be surprised if more than a single-digit number of people get shot while driving even in the US. For Europe, you probably need to express it in years/incident if you want to use integers.

Meanwhile, more than a million people die in crashes each year, and some 40 million or so are injured. Putting any, even small, additional obstacle in the way of help is bound to be a losing proposition.

This would essentially be a re-hash of the seatbelt debate, where many people were somehow convinced they could escape any accident by quickly jumping out before impact. That attitude lead to seatbelt laws, which were the single most important factor in reducing fatalities per mile traveled by a factor of 10 or so since the peak.

While I'm tempted to invoke some Darwinian principle, the damage wouldn't be limited to those making that decisions, but also their passenger, the next owners, etc, and possibly pedestrian victims of collisions.

In any case, I doubt it's actually forbidden right now. There are, after all, bulletproof cars. They just tend to be expensive enough to mostly discourage people motivated by Hollywood macho fantasies.
Ok, how/where do I acquire one of these in <insert entropic stereotypicality here> disaster situation?
Some cars are replacing side mirrors with cameras now to help with drag and cabin buffeting. It's legal in Europe but not yet in the US.
The fact that you hate modern truck design means you are not representative of 99% of truck buyers. Have you noticed the Honda Ridgeline has completely fell in line with other manufactures styling because of I presume market pressure?
Despite its polygon aesthetic, I wouldn't be surprised if the retractable bed cover thing improves the aerodynamics quite a bit.

I don't entirely trust my intuition when it comes to the behavior of turbulent air, but the tailgate on a conventional truck looks about as aerodynamic as a parachute.
Is it just me, or does that thing not look like a rip off of Paloma from Megarace?
At the end of the day RCT and other experiments will help us with allocating of the pie but not growing the pie itself.

e.g.India with a comparable population to China can only distribute so much with a 2.7 T $ economy compared to China with a 12 T $ economy.

I definitely feel that at least a few Chinese policymakers deserve the Nobel prize for actually lifting people out of poverty. You can debate their methods but i think most people from Western schools of thought come with an inherent bias thinking what worked for them over so many decades would've similarly worked for China which is not really true. This has to do with cultural difference, huge population and many other numerous reasons.
The armchair scientist in me wonders if microgravity causes blood cells to essentially begin to orbit each other.
You are right. I take back my comment.
I highly recommend this course.
you mean the mobile app?
I think the end game is delivery of a good by robotics in under an hour. I'm not sure what the next step in that is. But this doesn't solve the main problem Amazon faces that their traditional competition solves: I don't have a good, say laundry detergent, and I need it now. I'd wait an hour for a drone to deliver something to my apartment if it meant not having to go out to the store.

Like you said, and intermediate step.
The NYC subway also has more riders (about 25%), more lines (about 2x), more stations (about 3x), and more miles of track (2-5x depending on how you count). It's also the only system in the world that I'm aware of that runs 24-hours a day, which impacts the ability to do routine maintenance.

Thank you! A quick look through my bookshelf reveals that out of four books on discrete mathematics, only one contain involution in the index: and there it is mentioned once in a supplementary exercise... I guess that explains why I couldn't seem to recall a term for "self-inverse" [ed: No, that's wrong to, lol. Lets just stick with involution].
Pretty cool.
Recommendations below:

1) Have the original authors post a description on their thought process when solving the puzzle

2) Have voters discuss why they believe one process is better than the other.

Both points 1 & 2 would help make CFC a learning material for new developers (such as myself)!
Conflating "team room" with "open office" is how we got into this "open office" mess in the first place.
Quatity has a quality all its own.
How are you doing!
As some of your repliers have pointed out, that's a bit simplistic. Part of the reason I call myself a "little-l libertarian" is that I don't think you can necessarily deregulate in the sense of just removing regulations; I think you need carefully constructed regulations to make sure we have a free market where competition on quality is the only remaining good option for businesses, and that takes work.

But it takes a good understanding of the way the market works and the way economics work, and certainly if you just slather regulation all over the system willy-nilly the most likely outcome is regulatory capture. This is what usually happens. Neither the right nor the left is very good at this sort of regulation at all.
Right. You could use other non google alternatives and create your own specialty search, charging for better, faster results like realtime updates for court cases. Indextank is one such engine, and beats google on being realtime and fully configurable (take into account things like user votes etc). You could set up indextank to índex court filings.
I would be a paying search engine subscriber, even at higher price points if the quality of the results was satisfactory and the following points were met:

(a) everything is over SSL,
(b) there are no advertisements,
(c) there is a strict pro-user privacy policy without keeping logs and user profiling.

I think the saying "If you are not paying for the product, you are the product" has a strong element of truth in it in most cases.
Ad supported is a workable model, I agree.

The question if you would pay for it is directly because of Jason Cohen's post. If it's not worth paying for at some level, it's probably not a problem that's really screaming for a solution.

I'd pay for Google, for example. The fact that I don't have to pay for it is nice, but I'd cough up every month for it if it was a premium service, because it does something I absolutely need.
That's correct. It's completely unnecessary. The budget that was passed by Congress and signed by the President dictates the finances for the country for the next twelve months. Its dishonest for a party to have voted for the budget and then to turn around and blame the other party for the spending it dictates. The time to have this fight is when deciding on the budget. Not by holding the economy hostage.
From the article: "Let's start by increasing the number of permanent resident visas available for the 1 million engineers, scientists, doctors, and researchers and their families who are in the U.S. legally but trapped in immigration limbo."

Amen to that brother. But myself being someone in that limbo for the last eight years, I dont have much hopes for it. And this is not a Silicon valley story either. I have about 25,000 people ahead of me in the queue. And each year the queue moves in a snails pace. In this pace, I should have it by the time my two year old son graduates. And then I will create the next Google. (I am kidding. Being an entrepreneur means overcoming these, and I am committed to that)

And we are talking only about 750,000 visas currently in adjudication. Just under a million green cards. And at the very least I believe, it can create two million jobs.

Nothing is being done because "1 million engineers, scientists, doctors, and researchers and their families" are not a lethal voting bloc. They lack a voice.

I empathize with people like me. As I do with Americans who have lost their jobs, and the families of illegal immigrants who live in the society's shadows. If there were easy answers to this solution, we would have found it by now. And politicians prefer solutions that are easy to explain to their constituents. We are so used to soundbites now that anything more complex than a monosyllable evokes a strong abhorrent response.
