Congrats man, that's amazing ♡
There is no Church of Myers--Briggs, and no secrets. Everything is open.

There are charlatans in any field, and they will use anything. They all use money, but using money does not make you a charlatan. That corporate HR departments hire charlatans only demonstrates that HR departments will hire anybody willing to give the HR director a kickback.
Why are immune / stem cell papers usually analyzing the %-ages of cells? To effect a physiological change, the total number of cells ought to matter more than their ratios. Are the totals constant (I do not believe so)?
“For another” sounds singular. Was that intentional? It’s already got a plurality of meanings

No citation possible, because the data is encrypted. What is measurable is the delayed startup. Of course they can send the data later, but that's not what is measured.
I would like to do a little more than this, as this script would still require you to enter the code fragments in an order in which they can be compiled. I also would like to use ellipses ('...') to allow to extend the definition of types and initialization functions. One of the ideas of LP is that you can present your code fragments in a non-linear fashion, explaining the code from inside-out and/or to delay the implementation details till the end.
The problem with keeping the lines in sync, can also achieved by adding #line statements in the generated code.
Can someone clarify the calculation in the given example? What are stuff like “8,20”?
Whatsapp E2E is a red herring. It's not protecting you from your perceived threat like you think it is.

I was calling the WAL the "queries" to simply, never mind that, it doesn't matter whether it contains the queries or not.

What's important is that the WAL was generated on a periodic basis and of a constant size. Say 16MB every minute. It's pretty much a plain file, that could be stored on S3/FTP.

This had a lot of drawbacks:

- Replicas were measurably late behind the current state, simply because of the built-in delay in "replication".

- It was incredibly inefficient on bandwidth and storage. Consider the time it takes to transfer large files (especially for off-site replicas) and storage costs. That further contributed to poor performance and delay.

- There could be many WAL files generated at once when there were changes happening. They would take FOREVER to be processed. It was commonplace for replicas to fall 5-10 minutes under what I consider to be minimum activity.

Long story short, the replication was reworked in a later version of PostgreSQL (3 or 4 years ago), the part about fixed size and fixed delay is not true anymore.
Potentially. But, as with all things, there's "the way you could do things" and "the way you should do things". Just because you can do manual testing doesn't mean you should avoid automated testing. It MAY be useful to do some manual exploration to find suitable test cases, but once found, they should totally be conserved in source.

It may also be faster to find an issue in the REPL, using various tracing tools ("hm, this function returns the wrong thing when I feed it X, let us enable tracing on a few things and see if anything stands out", followed by "aha, that other function over there is actually the problem, let me add some test cases, so we don't have a regression there").

None of these are impossible without a REPL, but may require extensive modification of the source and a recompilation to get the same effect (followed, probably, by either converting your tracing to debug logs, guarded by a verbosity flag, or by painstakingly track down each print and rip it out again).
A search turns up plenty, and this other article from 2015 feature a few pictures:

This is why most of what the EU has been doing is forcing websites to include a "I want to use the site but not be tracked" button rather than a simple "I agree / close website" popup
Sentence is a bit ambigous. Are the nasa vaccines likely to give sterilizing immunity or the opposite?
You have to be in New York Review to be considered high art? When did they became arbiter of it all?

> Gene Wolfe might be considered as "High Art" by his fans, but that only means they don't read the New York Review of Books - and don't know much about literature for most of them

This is super odd implication.
Palm oil cultivation is responsible for massive rainforest deforestation.
Is it a problem that should be solved? Shouldn't people have the right to live in peace and not be forced to participate in some survey?

I also don't really see the problem with 95% of people declining; they made the smart choice. If I was a regular Facebook user I would also decline because the account would contain tons of very sensitive data such as DMs and running an untrusted, unknown application on my main computer is also a major dealbreaker.
Why does this surprise anyone? Does anyone really think that surveillance cams on building corners really look for terrorists or lawbreakers?

No. The porno-xray-cams and building corner cams just get used to ogle young women with shapely bodies, or those who dress sylishly or provocatively.

If I were a young woman, I'd start dressing frumpily so as not to attract the attention of mallcops, rentacops and the "vigilants" of TSA.
The press conference seems to be about a discovery by Chandra (X-ray), not Fermi (Gamma-ray), so it’s probably about something different.
interesting analysis, arguing that of three ways that inequality rooted in slavery continues to have impact, it's the "human capital" impact of educational differences that has the primary impact today.

"Furthermore, the important books in my library are the unread books."
Thats not what I was saying at all. My point is that just because we are adapted to a certain diet doesn't make that diet optimal. Much modern food is undeniably unhealthy but starving yourself because our ancestors were hungry too is scientifically questionable. Nutrition is complicated but there is no reason we can't do better than our ancestors.
(and craigslist has a design, it's just a different kind)

Yes, I agree craigslist has a design. It's a functional design, the kind I'm great at. What I'm not so good at is art/graphic design. I could have built craigslist from scratch completely by myself in a few weeks, if that long, but that's because I can lay things out and use shades of gray quite well.
Making $500K per year at Bank of America and earning $20K a year with your side s-corp does not make you a small business owner that can help unemployment with a Bush tax cut.
A single human programmer could understand and hold in his mind an entire non-trivial program.
Why do you equate the Hard Problem with dualism? I've met Chalmers, and read much of his oeuvre, and he's most emphatically not a dualist. No-one in the field takes "strong" (or even most varieties of "weak") dualism remotely seriously any more. Frankly, I feel like you're straw-manning a bit here, by attacking a position that's not even under discussion.
Your point about efficient allocation is very good. I find it hard to quantify what we need without a goal.

Politically, it's hard to engage emotionally without some sort of story. I vastly prefer adventurous explorers to fierce warriors. Maybe we will do something sane without the space story, and that would be great.

I do think there are fundamental problems with defense research. The NSA did great stuff, didn't they invent RSA? but they couldn't tell anyone about it. That system has intrinsic biases about secrecy that aren't useful.

I'll agree space isn't optimal, but they broadcast their successes as widely as possible. As far as i can tell, nasa is open about technology and research. Military success is grisly, and likely secret. Space biases technology to being small, light, and versatile. These aren't bad things. The military on the other hand will throw thousands of warm bodys at solving problems. Ships can be built with a handful of crew, but that dosn't have the prestige of a supercarrier with 6k guys.

I think a space context also thinks a lot harder about failure detection and recovery.

Anywho - i don't think we disagree. Thanks for the thought provoking point of view.
Right. But at no point was I saying that Python ought to have a ternary op, or that it doesn't have an analogous construct.
Hey, most people probably believe that NURV was really Microsoft, and that they really do murder open-source hackers and steal their code; and bribe government officials... not a big leap to assassination.
Your post is mostly conjecture using facts as condiments, how about we apply our critical thinking skills? It appeals to ethos and pathos and contains almost no appeal to logos.

What does the amount of antibiotics in use by farm animals 50 years ago have with whether it is a good idea to give farm animals antibiotics?

Why is it alarming? What is the number upon which 'alarm' should be sounded?

So the EU banned some livestock drugs, what does that have to do with whether we should give antibiotics to animals?

What does the corporate status (for-profit vs. non-profit vs. gov't) of hospitals have to do with whether antibiotics should be given to animals?

Lets take your 'facts' and have a little fun with them.
State run hospitals incentivize death as it is cheaper to the state. Perhaps these EU countries forbid animals to receive antibiotics in hopes that their population will die before requiring medical attention or other generous state benefits. This is what happens when you leave appeals to logic and facts out of your posts.
I'm using it on different hardware (Netgear WNDR3700), because it has more functionality than stock firmware.

What I'm using: printserver (it has USB port, that is great for sticking printer in) and persistent VPN. It is definitely not just for the fun of it.
I would really like to see a lisp that has a built in parser generator so the language and semantics can be built at the same time.
There are three types of work:

Grind - i.e. something you don't want to do, but you have bills to pay

Career - i.e. something you want to do, but you have to grind through a bunch of shit to get to do it.

Calling - i.e. something you must do, and you will not stop until you do it. Most entrepreneurs fall here.

If your work is a calling, then you are right; there is no balance.

If you have a career, then you have to find balance.

If you are grinding, then you just want to get home and work will always lose to life.
Yeah the trap with 80% is it often ends up being 100% compressed to 4 days :(
I guess apple using git is too much to ask..
Part of the issue is that while USB and 3 1/2" floppies overlapped for some time, the 5 1/4" floppy was already long dead by the time USB was introduced. I wouldn't be surprised if the 3 1/2" USB floppy drives you buy today are basically the same design developed in the late 90s. They're so cheap because they've been made the same way for decades now.

The 5 1/4 USB drive is bespoke hardware, which is why it is so expensive. I'd imagine it has a more software described interface so it can handle the galaxy of incompatible sectoring and formatting standards used by different companies back in the day. It used to be that if you formatted a floppy on one computer it was not likely to work on any other brand of computers. Having the formatting details be in software/firmware would make the drive far more useful for historians.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, I'm going to add filters soon.
I've used fetchmail for years to get email from IMAP inboxes (mainly Exchange server) and never had a single problem with it. Was surprised to see that there are major complaints.
yesterday was too real for them. they saw the guillotine coming. 70 million people support Trump. I don't know what impeaching will do. You can call it disinformation, but the MSN has their own spin that increasingly nobody believes in.
Even the founding story of the country is under question, with statues destroyed by BLM earlier this summer. This is a general moral panic.

Wow. I just read that article yesterday while browsing for some critiques of The Hobbit Part 3: Alfrid's Quest[sic], and I was nodding furiously all the way through. Brilliant, brilliant framing of the state of Hollywood.

I was ensnared by franchise hype for the last couple of years, and seeing this film was the turning point for me to stop and reflect that not one of the dozen+ franchise movies I saw at the theater in this time managed to remotely live up to my expectations.

I believe all is not lost, though. Other industries have shown the public eventually fatigues from such exhaustive, quality-less milking. Personally I've had my fill of being duped with franchise marketing, and next time I start thinking of wasting my money on one more of these ridiculous plot-less, CGI-bloated rehashes, I'll look for a decent original movie to wash the temptation off.
But wouldn't the stacktrace still include the file and line number where the lambda was created? Yes, you can't easily trace the code path between the creation of the lambda to its execution, but that strikes me as no different than debugging any other issue with bad data.
Developers who re-invent/re-imagine some wheels usually realize at the end why the original wheels are designed like those. We, understandably, don't quite appreciate the work other people have done, where we consider their tradeoffs as mistakes. But when we do them ourselves, we eventually see the huge amount of conflicting goals, as tradeoff is the essence of engineering, or anything.

However, almost all the good new things came from some re-invention. Don't let the tradeoff scare you away from your original ideas. Maybe the whole interface doesn't beat what we have now, but there are quite a few very good stuff in your demo. And I believe some of them (zoomable overviews, widgets), can truly work better than what we have now. It somehow reminds me of Rob Pike's Acme editor, though they look very different.
For me, the language of a project has a large impact on whether I would consider contributing to it or not. When I dislike the language, I'll usually not want to be involved with the project, but just watch it growing. Thus, it makes a project more interesting for me if the language is nice.

This is amazing. I wonder if anyone has done something similar for email spam.
Very interesting concept explorarion. Nice work.
> A good example is iMessage's use of device keys for parties of a conversation, without the use of a central key that lives on Apple's servers. They cannot be compelled to turn over the master key, and no one can steal the key either.

I'm not intimately familiar with the security of iMessage, but Apple controls the key server, as far as I understand. Can't law enforcement just compel Apple to make their key server respond with a public key owned by the NSA, instead of the public key of whichever device wants to receive the secret information?
Speak up. I was a high-performing, highly rated developer, and after a year of quiet and little feedback or interaction with my "boss", was presented with a negative performance review. It was filled with things that spanned the whole year, were never discussed with me, were due to multiple misunderstandings on his part, etc.

A specific example: early in 2019, my boss wanted me to do interviews. I had never done interviews in 30 years as a dev, and wasn't comfortable with it, so I pushed back. He dropped it (or so I thought) and it was never mentioned again...until my performance review. That's when he said I wasn't a team player, wasn't performing my responsibilities as a senior dev, etc.
Google Maps, YouTube and gmail are the three products I still use. I will try to use Apple Maps more, but I dont see how I can replace other two.
Thanks a lot for this, I was hoping to learn with this blog post. Correctness is the highest priority for me, so I'm glad to improve my library.

I will update the library to use 16-bit color everywhere (0-65535), and update the blog post to note this.

As for the rounding, that's another great point, and thanks for the link. I will change the library and blog post to round to the even number on ties.

Edit: I've updated the blog post, I'd appreciate if you could check it out and let me know if I made any mistakes with the update.

I call it the "launchpad" because I can finally leave my native language behind and learn from consuming media directly.
>the very same outfit that took down Weinstein

You make it sound like a heroic effort.

The "very same outfit that jumped on the Weinstein affair that got national interest and attracked lots of ad impressions" would be a better description.

It's easy to "take down" a rapist film producer everybody and their dog were already piling up against and the whole nation hated. His money/connections/lawyers/threats were as good as dead by that time.
Google doesn't need to have some nefarious, hidden tracking program. They're pretty transparent about it and everyone still uses Google products.

That's what I think is so great about Apple's stance: they're forcing providers to give users a choice, because I think most people would greatly prefer NOT to have all the off-site surveillance but still be able to use Google products.
The 3D voxels one is fun. I'll see if this long url from the share feature works on HN.

Perhaps you mean 2015 ?
Quite ridiculous! Wikipedia goes on and off for me here and i was thinking some network problem. But now its pretty much related i guess.
How big can a plan be for 13 hours and 40 minutes remaining for 2014 (in my timezone)?

I guess that would depend on the degree of preparation. Perhaps I've prepared for ever to become Master of the World at 23:59:59? That would be a big plan for 2014 :-)
I use git commit -p for the same reason.
A few counterpoints to your statement, "if you look at what the do, not what they say, they don't seem much different." Francis Crick attributed his discovery of DNA to LSD. Steve Jobs attributed much of his accomplishments in life due to his experiences on LSD (iirc, his aversion to buttons was developed during one particular LSD trip, and this led to the design of the one-button mouse, the click-wheel on the iPod, and the button-less front face of the iPhone). Jimmy Hendrix also attributed much of his creative abilities due to LSD.

I think you'll find as many examples of people who are transformed by it as you want to. Put your blinders on, and it's just a drug to "turn on, tune in, and drop out". First-hand experiences of the drug, like psilocybin (chemically basically the same drug), show that people truly do have positive life-altering changes in their lives after the experience.
On MacOS theres keychain - it's a designated place for storing secrets.

On windows I create a batch file at a fixed location with all the credentials in it. A script simply runs this batch file and reads the env cars to get values. A compiled program parses the batch file with regex to find required values. This works remarkably well for keeping credentials out of the code base.

Hope that hels someone.
Sorry for OT but why do you need to add HEAD? I always just do git diff. I tried to google but didn't find any good answer.
Very nice and exactly what I needed.
You can take it up with these guys.

I just recently was in this same situation (deciding whether to serve static via express' static middleware or nginx), and nginx proved to be a better choice - the response (on a non-loaded server) was faster, and less server CPU time was used up.

Wasn't a scientific test, but the results were consistent enough for us to decide to use nginx.

(FWIW, neither nginx nor node did SSL termination - we have haproxy in front of them taking care of that and the load balancing itself).

Would you be OK if someone did an illegal drug for that exact purpose, given that it has no side-effects (unless he overdoses, just like one could with caffeine), and is quite helpful for doing his job?

I am not asking only you, but anyone who agrees with you.
> Pretty much every last mile logistics company in the US is beyond awful.

From everything I've heard, Amazon's own last-mile delivery service is also pretty awful. They haven't improved anything, just made the problem their own instead of anybody else's.
I see the main advantage in this as running a polyglot application as if its native. For example if you are making a Rust application, you can have a plugin architecture where the plugins run inside a wasm compiled python interpreter.

I dont know if doing this directly and cross platform is as easy without wasmer
I live on a small street and had 3 amazon vans delivering at the same time right before Christmas. Up the street they also park big shipping containers (right on a residential street in front of houses) that the usps delivers packages out of. This is 1 community. Their size is insane.
Yes! Every now and then I give JupyterLab a go but I keep going back to classic notebook. The only two extensions I need is Vim key bindings and Black formatting. I might checkout version 3 in a few months, but classic has a “feel” that just works for me. I’ve also tried the VSCode abs PyCharm notebooks. The dealbreaker is always how it displays the output of cells. It sucks compared to classic.
Everyone keeps saying this is "a lot" of wasted resources... AFAICT it's just one guy right now, and even if it were a small team that still sounds like a bargain. I would expect it to take at least a small team within Apple to get Linux running on their new hardware.

I worked on SoC chip bring-up at Qualcomm for a few years and it's literally hundreds of engineers working for weeks to get Linux running, and that's with not only technical documentation but direct access to the hardware engineers who designed the stuff. That was 5 years ago but I assume not much has changed.

If this one guy (or a small group) ports Linux to the new MacBooks on a "Patreon salary" I'd say we got a smoking good deal. I'm rooting for them and happily donating.
Interesting that this is on the front page but what's the hundreds of thousands of people currently protesting in DC is not.
