I accidentally left k means in there as an option and it doesn't make much sense in the context of this example. So, yeah, it's a bit of a bug. Realistically, linear regression doesn't make sense being included either but it still kinda works.

> IMHO when debugging software needs to be automated to the point that a library needs to be written (and itself debugged),

I've hacked plenty of GDB. It's just a program like anything else. Why wouldn't you want to debug it? There's nothing mystical or special about it. When you combine th features you describe with code (which are, in fact, quite non-trivial) with code to look up symbols, deal with remote gdbserver instances, papering over extreme differences between operating systems and executable formats, you end up with a very complex program that has the same maintenance needs as any other.

It's the test spec that's wrong. On the day DST ends, the hour from 1:00 to 1:59 is repeated twice, which gives you 25 hours. When DST begins, that day is only 23 hours long. MomentJS isn't doing anything strange here.

> Your idealistic answer seems to argue for changing the relevant topics. That's fine. That's an argument against the curriculum, not testing. All testing does is measure whether the curriculum is actually being taught.

A relevant curriculum is going to be different depending on what someone's interested in and what jobs are available - and what you measure and incentivise is what you get. Testing is not politically neutral.

There isn't anything wrong with testing, in principle, at some point you have to see whether someone can do the job. But the decision as to what to test, when, how... that influences what you're going to end up with. Just standardising the tests and running them often is a bad approach. That's what I'm saying.
Well, except that even most HNers won't immediately grok your command-line example, not to mention most of the people in my family or any family. It's educational at least, and $2 is not much to pay for an education about how not to use your grandchild's name and birthdate as a password.

Not to mention it's awesome that an 11 year old girl is dabbling in cryptography already.

They share ½. Half-siblings share ¼ dna, because of exactly what you said. Full siblings share half of the half they got from their father, plus half of the half they got from their mother, for a total of ½.

An uncle and nephew, as in the article, would share ¼.
I don't really understand why this is even theoretically supposed to be a good method of making a password. I wish the article tried to explain that.

Here are a few questions I have:

+ I understand that the pseudo-randomness of a computer is often accidentally way less random than the programmer thinks. So, the by-hand nature of these passwords seems like an
advantage, all else being equal. Right?

+ I thought real words were really bad in a password. Is the idea here that, with six words from these lists, the possible combinations are so great that the trade off is worth it because the password is memorable? That seems suspicious to me because you're essentially giving the cracker the list of possible passwords. Though that list may be quite long, it's still a list. Right?

+ These can't be better than the 30 character passwords I generate with 1Password, right? Unless there's a bug in 1Password... Maybe that's part of the point.

EDIT: list formatting (I hope).

Tables are hard to do well and there’s ambiguity as to what constitutes basic. After being able to create an NxM table, should you be able to add/remove rows/columns? What about resizing the width or height of rows or columns. Does using <th> violate the promise of semantic output? Merging rows/columns? And of course now there’s copy/paste support for tables to contend with. What if that table had merging and yours didn’t? Tables also require more complex UI than just a button like most other formats.

But outside of word processing, tables are just not used very much. How many times have you added a table to an email? A task manager description? A blog post? None of the big sites using Quill are clamoring for tables.

For the other newly launched editors out there, I can only imagine they made a similar calculation to not included in the launch shortlist.
We announced our opensource plans in February[1]. I don't know when Greenplum will be ready to be opened up, as I work in Labs, which is a different division.

So far we have opened Apache HAWQ (incubating)[2], which is an SQL query engine for Hadoop based on the MPP query planner in Greenplum.

And Apache Geode (incubating)[3], which is based on Gemfire, which is the most successful in-memory grid database you've never heard of.

Edit: I suppose I should mention, entirely in my own self-interest, that we are hiring in our Big Data division across all our products. You can look at our webpage (https://pivotal.io/careers) or email me (jchester@pivotal.io).

This whole article plays out as a ringing endorsement for the ketogenic diet[1].

Most people don't realize it but a diet high in carbohydrates and sugars is lethal, and hundreds of millions of people suffer from it on a regular basis.

It's a serious lifestyle change but honestly I think many would benefit from it significantly, as adhering to it requires a basic level of self-directed education into what you eat and why it matters.

It's not just "eating more fruits and vegetables is good and eating less pizza is better."

Yeah, it's harder than it sounds. I've made a simple list like that years ago, and I'm still struggling to stay on top of all items. Sometimes I succeed and I'm happy, but I keep failing regularly, it's a bummer.

Here's my list:

- Eat properly(no junk food, no coffee, no nootropics)

- Information diet(only "healthy" information during the day, 20:00-22:00 I can do whatever I want. Basically it means no hn/reddit/youtube/movies, reading and learning is fine)

- Daily exercise

- Daily fiction writing(250 words at least)

- Daily coding(or studying anying related to Computer Science.)

I will keep struggling to incorporate all these things into my habits, because that is what perfect and healthy life for me would be like, it's just it's surprisingly difficult for me.

By the way, if you have such list - can you share it?

It's not just the ABI: the parsing is very different too. A good C++ REPL in a debugger has to understand not only standard C++ expressions (which is a tremendous task itself), but also:

* module-differentiated references (since foo.dll!globalThing can be different from bar.dll!globalThing)
* scope-differential references (each compilation unit can have its own statics)
* CPU registers (which make perfect sense as variables in interactive debugging)
* convenience variables
* preprocessor macros (which we record in DWARF these days)
* pretty-printers
* pine number references
* pompletion

and tons of other things. Using some kind of "agent" embedded in debugged programs as a necessary part of debugging is unacceptable, since you're frequently debugging core files and minidumps and you can't exactly put a question to a corpse. The debugger needs to understand how to do all of this itself.
There are also all the environmental effects of living in the 'Silicon Valley' - named as such because of all the chip manufacturing from the 60-80s. Google's campus is nearby the 'MEW Plume'[1] of trichloroethene. A few buildings on Google's campus exposed pregnant Googlers' children to significant risk of heart defects [2]. Here's a pretty good article on silicon valley's troubled environmental legacy as they try to remediate their land [3]. Not to say that the environment is causative, but it sure does not help matters of health for employees who live their lives in the area. Silicon valley still has a significantly polluted environment [4].

Central to my approach has been thinking what I want to achieve (quality), in what areas I want to achieve it and how.

For me rebooting has been mostly about decluttering and focussing. So I've ended up with a list of very few areas where I want to excel, and some tools I will use to achieve my goals. Everything else I have got rid of.
>Not everyone has the newest smartphone

The latest version of the app supports Android 4.0.3 and up, as well as iOS 7 and up.

>with tons of space

The iOS app is 59MB. In 2015, you're claiming it's unreasonable to ask for a few megabytes? What? 8GB flash drives were party favors 5 years ago.
The calculations aren't wrong (well, they might be, but it's immaterial). What is wrong is the belief that this is the way things have to be, and that the choice is a binary "keep the status quo" or "eliminate welfare".

Why do we cut the amount of welfare people get as their income increases? Well, there's the obvious reason, that their income should supplant welfare. Is that what happens? No. Their income ends up paying less than welfare, until they earn sufficiently high amounts.

Why is that? Because the system is broken. As a cynic, I would even say that the pressure to cut it off earlier, rather than later, largely stems from conservative pressures ("if they're able to work that minimum wage job for 30 hours, then they certainly should be able to work 40! Stop their governmental handout at 30 hours!" "Okay, then we'll just work 20" "If they can work 20, they can work 30! Stop their governmental handout at 20 hours!" Etc). That is, this broken system that they're speaking out against is -exactly the broken one they caused-.

What would actually make sense? Well, tailoring off welfare payments at some percentage of earned income. Let's say 50%.

That is, someone on welfare earns $50 one month from a job, their welfare payout reduces by $25. Take into account additional costs as deductibles; things like "Driving to the job took an extra $10 from me" - okay, fine, then your welfare payout is reduced only $15. The tax payer has saved $15 (as only $35 was paid to the welfare recipient), the welfare recipient came out ahead by $25 ($50 earned + ($25 welfare + $10 gas refund/deductible) - $10 gas cost; they walk away with $75, $50 of which they earned), -and- they're working toward rejoining the workforce. Welfare effectively stops once they've reached wages of 2x welfare + cost of incidentals, and until they reach that point, every extra dollar they earn is a net gain to them; there is no valley where their purchasing power actually drops because they chose to work.

While we're at it, if we're really concerned about people working, let's also fund more job training centers, more disability rehab and job placement centers, etc.

Why don't we do all of that? Because there is no political pressure to do that; conservatives would rather completely dismantle welfare, and liberals either aren't that concerned by the status quo, or are tired of trying to work with conservatives over the issue (and so it's become a shouting match where both parties have drawn lines in the sand and refused to compromise).

A maternity test tells you who the genetic mother is. A paternity test tells you who the genetic father is.

The legal system sees genetic forensic evidence as very strong. This result shows that we need to be a bit more careful about the samples we used for genetic testing - although this means police procedures for extracting samples are going to get a lot more complicated than a simple cheek swab.

> Harmful? Really?

In my charity work I regularly interact with people whose education has been harmful to them. They failed, and from that failure gained the impression that they were stupid, and/or unable to learn specific subjects. Even putting aside the harm of taking up someone's time to no profit for themselves, you learn more than the information in the curriculum. You learn an attitude towards education, an assessment of how you relate to it. What many people learn is that it's not for them.
This is obviously dumb and a problem nobody needs solving, but let's appreciate the fact than an 11 YO girl made press about her startup. I didn't even have a website at 11. She's going places..

You could also do something more reasonable like avoiding processed carbs and sugar as much as possible. I'm not knocking keto since I've never done it but I found a common sense diet that is sustainable is the best diet. Kudos to those who can go keto for their entire lives. I certainly can't. But that doesn't mean I can't be healthy.

Ultimately being healthy isn't rocket science and doesn't require some esoteric diet. Don't eat shitty food. Move/exercise more. And lift heavy things if you want to get stronger.
i've lost 25 pounds on keto and low-carb. some days i eat more carbs than others because pure keto is extremely hard to sustain especially when you eat socially and aren't a teetotaler. i need to lose about 15 more to get back to my college freshman weight, so i was at the high end of 'overweight' and close to 'obese' if you look at the official classifications.

even as a keto fan, at the end of the day the most important thing is eating less calories than you expend if you want to lose a significant amount of weight in a 6-12 month period - which really means, the most important thing is for people to actually count their calories. when i first started counting there would be some days where i'd eat 4000+ calories! it's amazing i wasn't 100 pounds overweight.

there came a point where i asked myself, "why the hell am i eating this much?" after seeing 3000+ on the graph for a few days in a row, and just decided not to anymore. that was an extremely important point in the process. having to face the quantified view of your terrible choices every day has a profound effect on your decision making.
VAM is a good idea but it's really hard to get right and the trend has been make it very high stakes for teachers. You didn't really address the examples which mschuster91 provided and that's important to understanding the problem:

1. Limited parental support (note: this does not imply bad parents – working 3 jobs to pay the bills leaves little time to help with homework)

2. Unstable living environment

3. Strong financial restrictions

4. Need to care for siblings[1]

5. Food insecurity

How do you construct a VAM model which recognizes that a teacher who got a class full of students suffering from one or more of those problems and managed to improve them by one grade level had a LOT more work, and more complicated work, than the teacher in a wealthy suburb who got a bunch of students with affluent, involved parents who are both pushing their kids hard to excel and providing tons of extra support outside of school?

This isn't just a philosophical debate, either, since school districts are tying large parts of compensation to test scores. Starting with a hard job which doesn't pay particularly well, how many years are you going to spend not getting bonuses for your hard work or even being arbitrarily punished before you give up and find an easier job?

One estimate has ~12% of NYC public school teachers being punished by the flawed VAM in use there:

http://mathbabe.org/2015/04/03/how-many-nyc-are-arbitrarily-...

That's a high number to begin with and downright shameful when you consider that those schools are already facing a hard time getting qualified teachers. If hiring is hard, you really need to make an effort to retain the people you do manage to find.

1. My wife has had students who felt pressure to skip after-school extra-curricular activities or even go to an inferior college so they could care for younger siblings while their parents worked. That's not wrong in the sense of everyone involved having a sympathetic motive but it's a huge burden which more affluent kids never even have to think about, which is why simple-sounding ideas like making college admission or scholarships merit-based ends up reinforcing the existing socioeconomic status quo rather than changing it.
Funny you should mention that - the Canadians used a battle rifle in both World Wars that effectively had just such a defect - the "Ross Rifle".

My plan is very similar. Nootropics and caffeine are an integral part of my success, though! Haha Have you tried ytracking your success with each of these items? I have been doing so for the past few months and it is definitely helping me pinpoint where I need to redouble my efforts. I also set a theme for each month (either Health, Wealth or Social, cycling through those three). The thing is to focus on mastering one are at a time, plateauing in that area with solid habit formation and then tackling the next area. Can you share what practical steps you have taken to achieve any successes? ie schedules, habits, plans, etc.

Does it come with an education that if any third party had seen or suspected to have seen your password - even if they swear that they haven't recorded/remembered or even seen it, and even if that's a nice person who must be honest - the password must be considered compromised, all its uses changed ASAP and it must be never used anymore?

If no - that's a wrong kind of education we have here.

Athough, if customers receive a package with "here's your password, but don't ever use it - see, it was compromised; take this dice instead, check its fairness and generate your own password!" then it's great.
