Do any of these IRB alternatives support multi-line history? I want to define a function, press up and have the whole function definition there instead of the last line of it -- how it works with Clojure's REPL.
The toughest exam students ever take in higher education depends on the student, and on what classes they take, as well as the circumstances.

I remember a particularly difficult final exam in which I was distracted by a sudden thud from about five meters behind and to the left of me. A student had fainted from fright, falling out of her chair. She was ushered out of the room by a TA, to lie on a bench with her feet elevated for a while. Afterward, the rest of us turned uncomfortably away from the spectacle, back to our tests.

I think, for that particular student, the toughest exam was that day. For me, it was about a year later, under circumstances embarrassing enough that I won't repeat them. For other students, other times. There's a surprising amount of variation from person to person.
Hi, HN. What is AV?
What is the bar to get a payment processor included into Shopify? Do you test it rigorously or just look at the commit history of the project to see if it's up to snuff?
Ah, I see. Thanks for the tip and the pic.

It sounds interesting though somewhat against the simplicity of the current desk. As I detail in another comment, it's not solid wood so it would be pretty easy to create the recessed outlet and a path through the tabletop...
Please update your facts. Almost every online broker offers real time pricing for US equities and some even provide the depth of book. What you say above (15minute delayed quotes) was true several years ago but things have changed.
Or they just switch to a SaaS model. Much leaner operations and solves at least some of the friction issues that traditional taxi service has.

Then there's one aspect of their business model that the article missed (Maybe it will be covered in part 2 or 3) which is self-driving. Apart from monopoly power, this seemed like the other exit to profitability. I'm just not sure if those efforts were little more than lip service to placate investors or an honest attempt (probably a bit of both) it seems like the rapid progress of a few years ago has plateaued and that exit has mostly closed.
The IoT/smart home devices I've accumulated over the last decade are all still working just as well as when I bought them. In that time, I've gone through multiple TVs, HDMI sticks, laptops, phones and fridges.

I do think we need to work on more open protocols for IoT to prevent this kind of situation, but I'm not sure that ewaste disaster of a generation seems entirely warranted. Most people barely have more than an Alexa, if anything.
Stephen Diehl continues to blow my mind on a regular basis. His latest work in progress "Wrote You a Haskell"[0] is also worth keeping an eye on. I've worked through the first couple of chapters and it's fantastic.

This thread has and will attract a great number of malcontents (selection bias?) but it's sufficient to say that the changes made to OS X, over the protests of power users, has significantly increased the value of the brand. Mac sales, after succumbing to a small dip in 2013, are now back at an all time high. [0]

[0] http://www.statista.com/statistics/276308/global-apple-mac-s...

So this appears to be the result of popularization, or appealing to the bottom line consumer, the one that throws away an old computer to buy a brand new one instead of replacing components piecemeal. The bottom line is: OS X's changes are not made for you, and you're right to switch to something that suits your needs. Additionally, the claims of ineptitude are misplaced, given the information about their recent sales. It appears to be what consumers want.
I was surprised by the lack of mention for PlanetLab and Emulab.
Odd then that the most advanced species have the longest gestation periods and the simplest species have the shortest.

To quote it: If there's one thing applicants don't get, it's the value of being concise in the answers. Not brief, concise.
With a dvd player costing $30 or less retail, it shouldn't be hard to get 500 of them at $15. Hook up some IR remote infrastructure, automated switching of the output signals and you should be ready to serve 500 customers at a time for 25k. (for an order that size or a bit bigger a Chinese outfit may even be willing to wire the IR receiver so that there is a direct control line hanging out of it, ready to be hooked up the control server) He has a very small library says the article, so not even a need to actually switch dvd's; even if he does, two high school kids @ $7.25/hour (or nearshore to Mexico for even cheaper labor) can keep up with switching those 500 machines if he has automated the ejecting and sorting of the newly to insert dvd's (that is even assuming that there are no two customers who want to the same movie, and I think the movie rental is heavily long tail, so half of those machines will probably have the same movie in them for weeks on end).

I'd think it's massively scalable. Not enough capacity? Call your Chinese guy and you can double or triple it in two weeks. Or when worse comes to worst, drive around for an afternoon and empty the bargain bins of all Walmarts in the area.

So let's say you got labor costs of $1000/day if you keep a couple of spare employees at all times and have them work around the clock. Depreciation of inventory is 250/day (very generous - 50k costs depreciated in a year). Rent a warehouse, buy paper clips, 250 a day. Thing that I'm most uncertain about is bandwidth, let's say 300 a day? (2 gb/movie, 3000 rentals a day (see below), 0.05 cent per gb in bulk) His largest expense is going to be the lawyers, let's say a full time one at full rate, 1000 a day.

Total costs 2800 a day. Now let's say he's running at half capacity and at all times, only 1/2 of the players are active (on 2 hour movies). He charges $1 for each movie, way below market rate - premium content here in the EU is 6 euros, about 8 dollars, but let's say he goes for rock bottom prices. That's still $3000 a day, putting him in the black. Including 30k+ a month in legal fees. With every additional sale being 95% profit. If this sticks, which I doubt it will, he's got a good deal.

(this assumes 3000 rentals a day. I don't know how much this really is. Netflix has 10 mil subscribers, they claim; let's say each rents out one movie a year. That's 27k a day. So you'd have to be about 10% of Netflix's size to make that).
Probably a more sensible comparison is to compare Europeans who travel out of Europe and Americans who travel out of the United States - both are roughly the same area.

[NB I mean Europe the Continent, not the EU, or Western Europe]
Are you suggesting CyanogenMod threaten the current maintainer with violence to get him to do something? That would be their only option as all the maintainers are volunteers. Hopefully someone else will step up and take over the G2 maintenance.
It is important to note however, that all that data gives you a very limited view of it.

I like to think I know a fair bit about cars/motor racing, but I'm positive that the few times I've spoken to actual professionals I come off as a bit of a fanboy who only knows one side of it. I can know all the physiological effects of drug abuse, but I can't know what it is like to be a drug addict without being one... etc.
Nothing on that page says anything about OpenSSH being not happy...
Yes, the kind of security you describe at Manila airport, seems common in european international airports - I've seen it in Amsterdam, Frankfurt too.
Sigh, this isn't news, just another headline ripped from reddit. That text has been there for 20 months. Everybody got to have their say and pout the last time it was posted too.
>I just don't know about facebook, because they are company based on social interaction. The way we interact with each other on the internet changes often.

That is the problem with their new messaging platform -- they are trying to mold the way we interact so as to keep users in their walled garden.

This is a good, albeit spooky, move on their part. I wouldnt underestimate the strategery [sic] in this particular play -- especially given the assimilation of the recent goog defectors, including Maps and Wave creator....

This is not a short sighted effort on the part of FB. Sure, Zuck may have a lot of unlikeable qualities etc... but truly, he has done one thing better than any entrepreneur with the same level of skill; surround himself with really really (really rich) good advisors.
I wonder which is true -- this, or tptacek's assertion that this would be irrelevant to NSA recruiting, 2+ years ago.

I'm pretty amazed at how much the NSA story has remained in popular press and thinking. I really didn't expect it. That probably accounts for the recruiting problems.
Lack of clarity was due to sibling comment. Repeating here: an option is to patch the current code to remove unwanted new features. This provides users with current features, e.g. CSS/HTML/JS and security fixes, a "minimal build" of the browser.
Time for one of your friends to step forward and correct the record then. You know, for the 'greater good'.
Isn't this simply the thinking that is criticized in the article? Not every matter needs a regulation on it that might break another workflow in the meantime.
Ummm... you seem very confused... The "select" part of the query solely filters on columns, not rows. You are talking about filtering on rows.

Beyond that, when you are looking for anomalous conditions you don't say "get me all records," because how you going to pick out something that doesn't look right out of five million items? When you are looking for anomalous conditions you say "get me all records that are NOT in the form I am expecting." Then you add constraints, foreign keys, etc so it doesn't happen again.
Thing is, the "not healthy" group is bigger than most people think. Anaphylaxis is a very controllable situation, whereas severe COVID is not. Non of the reacting subjects hasn't had a history of anaphylaxis AFAIK.

Nothing in the mRNA vaccines was chosen to enhance immune response, nothing is an adjuvant as with other vaccines. On the contrary, the polymers and co are there to protect the mRNA from immune system clearance (and are used in other non-vaccine medications too). It's worth noting, an allergic reaction is mediated by a completely different branch of the immune system. Non of the "adjuvants" aren't to be found in common household items, food and cosmetics, which is probably why the allergic people reacted in the first place.

Very few, very allergic people, seem to react to these. If so, you treat them with an antihistamine and similar.
And, say, your CDN would not comment on their clients.
I wonder how much this has to do with BSD3 being the default license when you use the "cabal init" command to generate a project skeleton. Most people probably don't care which open source license they're using; of those who do care, it's generally GPL versus everything else.
Despite being the clear leader in location reviews, there's still a TON of room to improve the location review and recommendations space.
Good question. When you reset your PSN password, they send you a link, rather than your password in plaintext, which at least hints they were doing the right thing. But who knows.
And how would you measure Intuition then? Maybe she had terrible intuition but is just a fantastically productive programmer.

Correlation not implying causation is a big deal because it's possible to draw (probably exponentially) many alternative causal chains than the one that you're discovering correlation along.

If the above isn't the case, and it's at least theoretically possible to design experiments like that, then correlation does[1] equal causation.

[1] Sort of. See pretty much anything written by Judea Pearl.
I fail to see why Sony should be pitied, unless the details of the attack are laid out, and Sony shows that it was following good security practice.

I see neither disclosure happening any time soon.
Different folks seem to value privacy very differently.
The article says there is no evidence credit card information was accessed.
One thing I've noticed is the missing "friendly strangers" in my life -- the people you recognize by being visible in your community at all of the places people regularly frequent (or used to at least). Seeing the same people again and even just recognizing they are there reinforces a sense of place for me.

I moved out of the big city to a smaller one and was instantly fascinated by people who would say, "Hi," as I passed by. At first it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. They would even stop and ask how I was doing and make a banal, funny comment about the weather. The culture of the city I just came from was different. People would assume you wanted something if you opened your mouth or looked at anything but the ground a few meters in front of you. For more than a decade I lived in a place where people weren't nice to you unless they were selling something.

I even tried Facebook for a while because my friends had all stopped using the phone. That was a disaster. You would think that going to an "event," with all of your "friends," would be great. But people only showed up with their cliques and there was nothing very friendly about it. I stopped using Facebook and deleted my profile. I stopped going to events where nobody would talk to me and ended up seeing precisely the same people I would hang out with anyway so no loss there. I think the "social network," thing is some kind of inside joke I don't understand.

I hope to get to know my neighbors better. I shovel the snow the for lady on the corner. She lives alone with her dog. Her husband suffers from dementia and lives in a home. The neighbors one door up are a large family that mostly keeps to themselves. The grandmother is the only one who will acknowledge my existence when I say, "Hi," while I'm out in the garden or when we bump into one another at the corner store. It's weird, I think, to feel like I'm living in a fish bowl and that my community is just a place where we all keep our stuff and sleep.

It must be this pervasive culture of convenience and luxury that allows us to be entertained and socialized without having to interact with anyone else. Who knows what your neighbors are like and who needs them? Maybe that is a better quality of life. I just think it's a little strange... and when hard times do come I wonder if we'll all be able to rely on one another to get through it.
Twitter bought Periscope after Meerkat got press, although it may not have been a cause-and-effect relationship. (M&As take time.)

EDIT: See joeblau's comment below.
If you're looking for meaningful answers about propriety, I strongly doubt you'll find them on CNBC.
In the original Civilization, if your political system was Democracy, there was no Corruption :))
Oh, that thing is cool! I'll probably use it to mock up my next site.

Since it's the kind of thing I'd use once every few months or less, and I'd use it for one project at a time, I'd probably pay $10 to $20 one time for 3 or 5 mockups. Then, I use the best one mockup to make a site and quit needing the service for a while. I don't need three free ones since the demo gives me a really good idea of what I'll be getting for my money. Does that kind of pricing scheme sound reasonable?

PS - after I buy that package, email me a few months or a year later to see if I'm ready to mockup another site. Also, refer me to someone who can take the mockups, improve them, and make websites out of them.
The thing that depresses me most are the comments at the end of the article.
There is no reason for this to be on HN.
Wikileaks' reputation is impeccable: it does what it says on the package, and has been the source for nearly uncountable major newspaper articles over the past few years because of the complete accuracy of its information. The NYT had Judith Miller.
With the exception of Haskell, Scala and Clojure both provide significant innovation over the languages you've mentioned. They are newer languages and they have incorporated many recent lessons from functional programming and object oriented programming research.
For the Clojure project, that is what the customer had already started using. For the largest Common Lisp project, they asked me which language I wanted to use; later the project grew to a half dozen Lisp developers; now it is in maintenance mode with 2 or 3 developers.

I wrote two Lisp + AI books for Springer-Verlag a long time ago so I think people associate me with Lisp use.
But for everyone else, there's MasterCard.
I think 1/12th of the entirety of humanity using your service is something of a milestone.
No, they frequently run leaks which they think are in the public interest. And they have pretty low standards for what they think is in the public interest -- ultimately they just need to be able to come up with a good justification for believing it might be in the public interest, since their primary purpose is to sell newspapers.

They would refuse to leak random diplomatic cables which don't show any wrongdoing by anybody, though. (Although they're quite happy to publish a story about them if someone else is responsible for the leaking.)
Were those killed mostly protesters, law enforcement or non-participants?

It makes a fairly big difference surely? It's odd that nobody seems to mention that aspect when they bring this up.
Individuals and bots will take advantage of the price discrepancies between exchanges by purchasing BTC on the cheaper exchange, sending the BTC to the more expensive exchange and selling it. As long as its possible to do this different exchanges normally stay within a few % of each other.
> We are slowly squeezing a significant segment of the population out of public debate, and they are powerless to stop it. Is it surprising that they are furious about it, and explode in unpredictable ways? Wouldn't you do the same?

What did African-Americans do when they were marginalized for a century until the Civil Rights era of the 1960s? (And still are in many ways.)

The folks you are referring to can say whatever they want: they have Fox, OANN, and Newsmax. They can set up phpBB to have online discussions. Mastodon and IRC are open source and distributed. They can rent a hall and have meetings and sign up as candidates for various political offices and put forward their platforms on Wordpress-powered sites.

They can say whatever they want on myriad of platforms. But that doesn't mean anyone else has to listen.
I'm not an American or in the US, but it seems to me that the Supreme Court could likely have prevented all this, instead of dismissing the Texas suit with a two sentence response.
By that if you mean 'violent inciting free speech', then yes, sad day for that.
We should, but we should have assumed CI software was an attack vector since before the solar winds hack. It’s always been a vector. This hack doesn’t change anything.
I’m only really concerned with consistency. This is just selective enforcement, with fairly obvious political motivation and timing.

Google doesn’t just randomly grow a set of morals and balls after a decade of silence about similar behavior by/on Twitter, fb, yikyak, tiktok, Snapchat, etc.

Hell, even encouragement if you count things like planning terrorist attacks and successfully killing/harming dozens on WhatsApp, and not immediately banning the application, as well as probably every communication system available on the phone.
This is largely why I do it. I have half a million twitter followers, and while I can write it on my blog and then tweet a link, it is nowhere near as effective as just publishing the content directly on Twitter.

FWIW, I used to despise it when people did this (post massive threads of messages), but frankly I think they fixed the UI for this years ago, and just don't understand the complaints anymore: you click the link, and can scroll through messages as if it were an article.

Between it auto-flowing the messages and the longer tweet length of 280 characters, I honestly don't see any advantage to those "thread readers" people keep linking to... they don't even have larger information density, which is ridiculous. (Hell... they frankly seem to make the text harder to read!)

(And yeah: I carefully write my tons of text on Twitter such that every single message is a carefully enough crafted thought that they could just about stand alone, which I think is actually good for the content.)
It's true the clip is a force multiplier, but that they were this level of unprepared when Trump had just won the most votes for a losing candidate in election history, when these elements had already demonstrated a willingness to bear arms in the lockdown protests earlier in the year, and that there'd been a conspiracy to kidnap the Governor of Michigan, all contributes to the suspicion that collusion was a possibility, on top of their rejecting offers for help from the National Guard.

But the BLM protests they were fully staffed, armed, and equipped? There's just no innocent reading of this situation at the least.
You’d think.
This is a a darkly funny comment in the broader context where the house has just been overrun by a mob.
I don't think this is true. It's been shown over and over again that the more people who vote, the more likely Republicans are to lose the election. This is why Republicans have gone all in on their disenfranchisement efforts.
Note that the size of the virtual address space on current x86-64 processors is only 256 TB! (And half of that is usually reserved for the kernel.)

And inevitably, some programs take advantage of the other 16 bits to store data, so even if you get new hardware to use the full 64 bits and kernel support to match, you'll have to watch out for JavaScript engines and other programs randomly failing :)
Lawyers don't give away their trade secrets and have something like trade union that is not trade union, unlike engineers and artists.

If you want to learn how to solve any engineering problem or how to create an illustration you can choose from ample amount of tutorials that are free or very cheap and teach specifics. If that's not enough, you can ask veterans for guidance and most will happily help you out and even give you specific detailed answers to your problems. People also would be hired based on their performance and no one will ask for diploma if you show performance.

On the other hand, if you ask a lawyer they will be extremely vague and would never solve your problem or guide yo without a pay even if the solution is something practical like "Go to the Home Office, find the whatever manager and ask for the hr-103/B form".

They also would limit practicing through memberships to professional organisations, limiting the practice only to formally trained lawyers.
Considering that Uber's binary size (330MB) is comparable to similar apps such as Google Maps (224MB), Lyft (435MB), and Didi (332MB), it might just be par for the course for iOS apps.

Yelp, for example, is what you might call a "straightforward CRUD app" (to Yelp engineers, I know it's probably legit complicated and hard), and that is 292MB on the App Store.

It's probably to do with how the framework handles lifecycle management and combining static assets like text and image with business logic that lives in Controllers.
I guess it's nice that easily observable things are now actually being confirmed by the government again. This was strongly suspected at the time but never by any official sources, and it's nice to actually have it come out. This is probably generally a result of a shift in policy against viewing Saudi Arabia as a stabilizing government in the region which seems like a correct evaluation.
