>They used this excess of digitally printed capital to buy real capital assets such as global equities.

Equities aren't real capital, in the economic sense, either. Real capital is land, plants and equipment; equities are financial capital.

>"the Swiss National Bank digitally printed an enormous amount of Swiss Francs and bought Euros in order to peg their currency lower (didn't work)

What do you mean it didn't work? They maintained the peg for years. One of the reasons they unpegged the currency was that the Euro was depreciating, thus maintaining the peg was causing the SNB to depreciate against other currencies, like the USD.

>what is the fair market price of global equities when some buyers can print money? Does it matter?

There's no mystery. Fair market price is the agreed upon price in a transaction. If you think that for some reason all prices are distorted due to central bank printing, then account for that distortion in determining what price you're willing to accept or bid.
I had the opportunity to speak with Albert on a developer panel and he told this story (we were speaking to software developers that had just begun their job search). He's a very nice guy and I think this is great, general advice for people just beginning to step into the world of software development and don't quite yet have a resume that can "wow" people. I'm glad to see Zenefits recognized that.
Certain powers having "standing armies" is a quaint way to describe it. The US is on a permanent war footing in the Global War on Terror and surveils its allies as assiduously as they would a hostile party in a hot war.

How about the van de graf generator?
To achieve the same functionality on my blog I use:

- Pelican - static website generator, like Jekyll but in python.

- MathJax to render Latex

It is easy to synchronize Pelican with dropbox or github, and it is incredibly convenient.

You can use this article:

http://technivore.org/posts/2014/01/03/blogging-with-dropbox...

To configure it in such a way that all the updates happen automatically.

For example I can simply write an article in Editorial on my iPad, and it gets immediately published/updated, without me having to do anything at all, exactly zero mouse clicks.

> Is there any legitimate research into this?

Tons - there are over 70 cannabinoids last I checked (which was several years ago, and we've discovered more since). They all have different effects. Some aren't even psychoactive at all.

The indica vs. sativa is a rough way of describing the relative ratios of the various cannabinoids. Not all indicas and sativas are the same, and some sativas might be more sleep-inducing than some indicas, but it's easier than enumerating chemical compounds which have rather unfriendly and unmarketable names.

> How do you know which is which?

Ask the person growing or selling it to you. If you live in a medical or recreational state (Colorado, California, etc.), they will be labeled as pure indica/sativa, or a hybrid (and if a hybrid, which one is dominant).

> ...and car-lifestyles are what North Americans have culturally designated as the marker of success.

This is no longer uniformly true. Some of the hottest, highest-priced residential real estate in the US is explicitly tied to more walkable environs. In the urban cores of cities like Portland, OR, Boulder, CO, and Austin, TX, there are definitely extraordinarily expensive ("marker of success") residences that are impractical (or at least very time inefficient) to live in unless one eschews a car-centric lifestyle. The developers have noticed, and there is a boom going on right now in those and similar cities by the developers to increase density; however, often neighborhood associations and land-use regulations tend to hold back the density of the proposed developments.

And an update! I talked with the engineer that wrote unilog originally.

The original headline feature of unilog was that it wouldn't block writes if the disk filled up. multilog does - if it can't write a line to disk, it stops ingesting data off of stdin, which eventually causes the application to hang writing to stdout.

unilog sends you an email and starts dropping log lines, which we decided better matched the tradeoffs we wanted to make - losing logs sucks, but not as much as blocking your application until you figure out how to free up disk.

It's a very interesting market. I think we're (we as in: GitLab, GitHub, Stash) all very aware of each others features and shortcomings, not in the least because of the intense comparison that every customer does before they decide on a purchase.

At GitLab a large part of our new features are driven by requests of customers or shortcomings that they noticed in competitors' products. In the end, we also believe this benefits everyone.
Hmm, pretty sure floor rounds a number downward to its nearest integer. So Math.floor(-15.5) would be 15.

The hard scientific evidence is that light to moderate users do not have increased lung cancer rates. This is a far cry from "smoking pot doesn't cause cancer".

It is not I who is avoiding rationality, friend. Check your ability to corroborate your statements with evidence.
Thanks! That's a very sensible model. I suppose it means that the status-check API can't be used to check that the history of a branch is up to some standards, like commit messages following a style or all commits in history passing some check, but that's fine. (It is a bit at odds with the documentation of the status-check API, which implies that it's about refs, not trees.)
That's not how it would work. The rents are already at the maximum that the market will bear, and will not increase. A rent tax would simply divert some of that money from the landlord to the local authority.

Maybe you should consider making a more detailed and interesting argument than throwing out a catchy rebel phrase. Then you could actually have a discussion with people!

The final paragraph mentions "Virtual reality and social networking" as something that might eventually abolish the problem, and this rings true to me. Several years ago, it seemed that perhaps Second Life would accomplish this, but I suppose it wasn't immersive enough.

Perhaps next year's commercial launches of the Oculus Rift and Vive would finally allow for sufficient presence to begin making daily VR telecommuting a reasonable option.

From the article:

>The offenses that landed them in solitary? Most often, it was evidence that they were "affiliated" with a prison gang, whether or not they had broken any rules.

Solitary isn't being used as a last resort for people who have killed previous cellmates -- it's being used for all sorts of things.

I think solitary makes sense for people who are already unable to coexist with other inmates, but that doesn't seem to be the main use at the moment.

At one point I used a production proprietary DB engine last compiled in that time frame on Linux.

Sub-200 IQ men guessing what a 1000+ IQ man would do :).
I had never smoked weed before moving to California (from Europe) in my early 20s, at which point I was fairly quickly introduced to it. I had no experience with drugs of any kind besides alcohol either, and I quickly became fascinated with the effects it had on my brain. Picking it up with the same intensity I would pick up any other interest, I read a lot of stuff about the subject (Timothy Leary, Sam Harris, Aldous Huxley, etc.) and tried a few other psychedelics.

Then for a couple years I had a job that made me utterly miserable, and I smoked as soon as I got home every night. I don't believe it strongly affected my intellectual performance (a lot of my highly upvoted HN comments from that time were written while high), but it made me okay with not doing nothing productive, merely aimlessly consuming media (this is summed up really well in a South Park episode, where Randy tells his son Stan: "Well, Stan, the truth is marijuana probably isn't gonna make you kill people, and it most likely isn't gonna fund terrorism, but, well son, pot makes you feel fine with being bored, and it's when you're bored that you should be learning some new skill or discovering some new science or being creative. If you smoke pot you may grow up to find out that you aren't good at anything.").

Now I have a job that I really like and am in a generally better place in life, and smoke maybe once a week or so. My personality tends to be fairly inwards-oriented, and I get anxious fairly easily (like many hackers, I presume), and weed helps me step back, and get perspective on my mental state. It's also a good social bonding agent, and also an interesting substance to use when you've been working on a creative problem for a while and are stuck (my experience has been that it's harder for my brain to learn completely new things while high, but easier to make connections between things I already know, or see known things under a new light).

Putting aside whether this sort of thing is clever and clean or occult and confusing, another pattern of the same ilk is:

~~(i/13)
mmm not quite.

Step 1 would be slow if it created it in a real dom but as it's not (that's why it's called a "Virtual DOM") and is in fact just an object representation of the dom it's actually rather fast.

After all - it's just an object tree, and that's quite fast to parse.

The diff part is probably the slowest part in the React chain actually - because it actually has to compare to the other (virtual) representation of the DOM. Deep comparisons are just... well they'll never be trivial.

But no, it's really not extra thinking, it's not error prone, and it's basically due to it not really being what you're describing it as.

Ask HN: Why is Xcode so buggy?
Xcode crashes or beachballs at least once a day for me. I am not doing building anything crazy, all pretty basic apps, but I am constantly having issues with it. These issues occur across different hardware and OS X installs so I don't think it has to do with my setup. I understand it is a large complicated piece of software but for something that Apple uses in house to build pretty much all of their software products how can it be this bad?
Oh, you've started losing your hair in your 40s? Count yourself lucky.

Nope. Math.floor(-15.5) would be -16. It rounds a number downwards. -16 < -15.
I agree. I think the current state of AI can roughly be described as "we want to fly like birds" rather than "we want to fly". Aviation is a great example of how the formulation of a task makes a huge difference. We still can't build machines that would fly exactly like birds, but instead we have built machines that fly faster and carry a lot more weight.
Yep. I force push frequently to feature branches on my remote when preparing pull requests. Being able to protect against this on the canonical branches of the main repo is a nice addition.

After a bit of digging, I foudn that the wall behind the cluster of Thinkpads in the Columbus module is made up of European Drawer Rack modules[0] which are basically 19in racks.

> The real problem with the accidental force push is that it's lossy. The OLD head, to which you would hope to revert when you realize your mistake, is suddenly invisible (and garbage-collectible!).

I prefer how Mercurial behaves in this matter. A push can not destroy old heads, and the old (dangling) heads still show up in the log by default (you can filter them out with an option, if you don't want to see them).

So if someone pushes a new head by accident, anyone can still see what is going on, and fix the situation either by a merge, or reverting back to the old head.

(The downside is, if everyone really knows what they are doing and never make mistakes, git's way of deleting old heads with just a force push is easier, than needing to specifically access the repo on a server if you want to delete some heads.)
> No, not any more than eating any other food; it's a plant, it isn't going to hurt your stomach.

> Large React apps are actually no faster than large apps written in Ember or Angular

This is (more or less) true now. It wasn't when React first showed up. Angular is also only just as fast when you actively code your apps in the same way as React (basically using a prop/state system but in an Angular way). This isn't also the method generally championed in Angular (1.x anyhow).

Ember was always pretty fast but post-React it changed a lot of how it did it's rendering... influenced by React!

So claiming that React apps are no faster is a bit disingenuous as the reason for that is because the other frameworks saw what React was doing and agreed with it.
Yes.

In fact, there are also problems for smkers who cough up and then swallow phlegm - this increases risk of bladder and penile cancers.

Doesn't matter too much. Only problem is that it exists only so long as the mall developer is making a profit on the space. This is hardly true with say, the cultural districts of cities, where taxpayers foot the bill, and where there is intrinsic real estate value. Many cities have been successful with the latter model, Pittsburgh comes to mind- with its very town-square-ish Southside and Portland's Pearl District- both urban rejuvenation projects which did not involve converting the whole place into a massive mall.
Star Wars’ adorable, impossible droid is real: Our impressions
Sure, but the fact that React is as fast as those other frameworks, with none of the code overhead of having to manually patch the DOM, is a benefit. React doesn't need to be faster, it just needs to be comparably fast.
It's not great at the bottom end, either: 64TB raw for $96,000

Get a 24 x 2.5" 2U server, 3 8 channel SAS controllers, and 24 1 TB SATA SSDs. $15k or so will buy that. 3 of them are 72TB for $45K, so less than half the price, and certainly capable of saturating any network you can afford to run.
Of course, if you just need 24TB, you can just buy one of the smaller machines.

You can fit it in one 4U machine with 72 x 2.5" disks for less money, but also less disk I/O, CPU, RAM and network bandwidth.

Is this "Big Data"? No, but neither was their 64TB config.

There has to be some incentive for people to go through the trouble to use prisoner labor. If you take away that incentive there won't be any work for them, which seems like a loss if the ability to work for modest pay is good for them.

It's not completely free from addiction potential, it's similar in degree to caffeine[1]. Dabs are very concentrated, and if you hit them several times a day many days in a row, and you are naturally inclined toward addiction, you may find yourself addicted.

AFAIK the withdrawal symptoms aren't unbearable, nothing like stimulants or opiates or benzos. I'm sure that getting high sounds a lot more attractive than sitting through the withdrawal for 36 hours or however long it lasts, and that the withdrawal would impair the user infinitely more than the cannabis.

but for something that Apple uses in house to build

it be this bad?

Probably because the Xcode team doesn't dogfood their own tools. I forget exactly when and where this was, but I once talked to someone who interned on Xcode. He stated that almost no one who worked on Xcode actually used it, and most of them were, instead, vi users. Grain of salt, and all that, but it certainly fits.
