AFAICT you have it backwards -- the other packager is the upstream developer and maintainer of the pre-existing ubuntu package. The only thing that Daniel's package had going for it was that he had submitted it earlier, but he had not gone through the process of filing an ITP to tell other people that they don't need to spend time on packaging it.

I find the whole thread somewhat cringey to read and I'm not sure why he thinks it reflects well on him.

I think the biggest issue is the design. The card layout is generally big no-no in design community. It presents too many choices for the reader for where to focus. Users don't like to make choices because it represents friction in consumption. The FB layout is one item at a time with small column so eyes doesn't have to scan right to left too much. If user doesn't like item you just move on. The ranking of posts is absolutely the core fundamental key to keep user interested. This is such a simple and basic design issue that I'm surprised no one is talking about and no one is fixing it. Making consumption choice-free, decision-free and friction-free should be the guiding principle in all social apps. Once you fix this problem, more users can start posting and vicious cycle can start to roll on. of course, the other issue is that G+ discourages cross posting, 3rd party apps and related APIs which again limits people who are willing to take on further friction. These issues are easily solvable and too glaring to ignore.

Right, you can pass a function:

final_function(fun() -> maybe_function(X) end)

or

final_function(maybe_function, X)

if final_function does:

final_function(Function, X) ->
Function(X).

@ minimaxir, Thank you for been the first to reply. I did not even know that repost's are allowed on HN :-)

I guess I should of read FAQ about "repost"; https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

Are reposts ok?

If a story has had significant attention in the last
year or so, we kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a
small number of reposts is ok.

Please don't delete and repost the same story, though.
Accounts that do that eventually lose submission privileges.

Anyone one else knows what is "small number of reposts" and how often until it gets some votes/comments ?
You can pass functions. The article was saying not to nest function calls.

The EU is imposing a tax on financial transactions effective January 1, 2016.[1] The tax is tiny (0.1% on most transactions, 0.01% on derivatives) but enough to discourage high frequency trading. It's going to be interesting to see how that works out.

Sure they are obviously free to do what ever they want with their products and maybe "pulling the rug under your feet" is a bit dramatic but it is true that they are pulling features left and right (not only Reader) that unless it is used by the 80% enough is under hard scrutiny. But if the top 20% which is also the people that are going to help you innovate are getting tired of getting used to a product working in a certain way and then it no longer does they will be wary of being too dependent on products from that company.
I disagree with it being difficult to get a mod started, you simply download the mdk (like a mod template) and follow the instructions on the readme. I'm not sure, but they might even have a git ignore in the mdk these days.

Edit: In addition, LexManos is no longer the sole contributor, cpw has returned, and MCP has always been a separate project which has managed to keep a core team.

About 1.9, because the minecraft code is obfuscated and very complex, updating forge to new minecraft versions takes a long time for MCP to release mappings, then forge to port etc, so I'm really not surprised that updating takes a while.

Most mods these days are distributed through curse forge, which although has adverts, is reputable and curse pays per download. The minecraft forums are as buggy and crap laden as always unfortunately.

>>Fairness is subjective. Morality is subjective.

There isn't much that is subjective about paying the appropriate amount for the services and programs you benefit from. If you disagree that you should pay $5 for a cup of coffee that costs $5, then we have some very fundamental differences and can't come to any agreements in this debate.

>>We don't legislate morality.

On the contrary. Murder is illegal because we have decided as a society that killing people without just cause is immoral.

>>I didn't ask for these services.

But you still benefit from them, either directly or indirectly. A homeless shelter benefits you even if you aren't homeless, because it takes care of the homeless and makes it a lot less likely for them to commit crimes for survival. A fire department benefits you even if your house isn't on fire, because they put out fires in neighboring buildings and prevent them from spreading to and burning down yours. You are part of a society, and taxes are required to maintain the proper operation of that society, whether you have asked for it or not.

What if you just accept algorithmic trading, and allow companies to upload an "agent" that handles trades for them?

Each agent, running on a standardized VM, can be given the same amount of CPU cycles, the same standardized data feed, and logically run in the same time slice. Companies can add real time data to the feed, but it is also available to everyone else. Private data is delayed by a second or so, as are new agent uploads.
"Moonshot" is a Google term for "we are going to put some money into this really long-shot idea, with the hope that even if we don't achieve the stated objective we'll get some cool technology/IP out of it." Take a look a Project Loon and (initially) Google Fiber for other "moonshots."

That said, Google projects benefit from having a huge infrastructure and amazing academic links (you can collaborate with Stanford/MIT/etc. to generate research.) It's not just a startup starting from scratch with $50m, but an established player with deep pockets and amazing connections. Wanna collaborate with the leading specialist in this field? Google can make it happen. Wanna try some algorithm in 20k cores for a few weeks? Go for it. Wanna lobby around to get government involvement? There's a whole department for that.

It doesn't reflect well on either side, to be honest. It's clear all involved have contributed a great deal but all also struggle considerably with communication. Seems to be a trend lately and I'm sure this won't be the last time someone rage quits over a difference of opinion.

Zen and the art of on demand food delivery
Yes, in the case where external pricing information is released a short time before the window closes, collocated HFT will be able to win. But I'm not sure it would be any worse than the current situation. Also with batch auctions there can be multiple collocation points in different cities.

But when the external information is released earlier in the window (which should be just as likely if random, and maybe even mandated for press releases to occur at the beginning of the window) the playing field between collocated HFT and smaller traders is much more level than the current situation.

But most information used in trading isn't from external sources, its from the order book itself. Collocated HFT with 1ms latency can read the book, calculate next move (let's say 20ms), and submit new order in 1 + 20 + 1 = 22ms. A trader with 100ms latency and the same system would take 220ms to respond.

This is where most of the HFT advantage comes from, they can see the order book and respond before it even arrives at your computer. With a batch auction everyone sees the previous results at the beginning of the window and has 1s to respond. Low latency is still desirable to allow for more processing, but its no longer overpowered.

edit: 1 sec was chosen completely arbitrarily, the best choice could be more or less, or even a random sized window.
Urgent help
My name is Seth Rufus, long story short I was taken advantage by an online investment company at Folioinvesting.com. I invested a large amount of funds to invest in and they restricted my account twice. I left numerous voicemail messages and have been given the runaround for going on 2 weeks without any explanation. I wanted to invest for my family and 3 daughters and they refuse to give me my money back. That is my current situation and me and my wife are at the end of our rope here. Are you able to help or lend your online expertise to this situation as far as returning my assets?

Pretty sure nobody did a study with a specific number of LoC for best understanding, because it probably depends on a lot of things. But quick understanding is a function of consistent style and a small number of things to keep in mind required to understand each part.

Things are easier to understand when the deciphering part is done quickly and also when you only have to keep as few things in mind as possible.

An example of a Python statement that is short, but difficult to understand:

'\n'.join([map(some_func, a) + 'somth' for i, j in c.items() for a, b in i.items()])

Erlang the language is nice, but where it really comes together is the runtime environment.
But Google+ used to be single column! Then one day they switched to the two-column card layout, the content was exactly the same but suddenly you needed to scroll up and down to be able to read both columns. (i.e. when you finish reading an item in one column you have to scroll back up to get to the beginning of the next item in the other column).

I really wonder why they decided to change it.
Mormon religion is a case in point given the timeline of its emergence.
It's not clear what objective standard you have in mind, and whether any consensus can be reached on that purely through an exercise of argumentation where a lot of predispositions and other factors quite often lurk behind (it's rampant even in sciences, more so probably in soft/wet sciences: http://www.nature.com/news/how-scientists-fool-themselves-an...).

One strategy I've heard of: if you're getting recruiter spam, ask each of them, based on your resume, what kind of salary they could get you. Throw out any outliers or obvious liars, and take the average.
My framework draws primarily on Burroughs, Hofstadter, NLP and est/Landmark. Plus lots of SF, lately Greg Egan and Peter Watts. I've also practiced Aikido, and played in hardcore whitewater.

The distinction between conscious and unconscious is too simplistic, I think. There's a continuum in multiple dimensions. But I do agree that it's all useful in one way or another. It was simplistic of me to dismiss consciousness.

We're all familiar with the process of learning motor skills. Much conscious attention is required at first. We screw up and get feedback. We think about it. We listen to coaching. We keep practicing. And eventually, it becomes automatic.

I believe that the same process applies in all areas of being. It's a little hard to get, because the learning goes out of consciousness. You know what you've learned only through measuring performance.

She may be wrong about that particular number, but it is really no secret that reducing the scope is a key ingredient to solving problems and avoiding bugs. Another key ingredient is to stay far away from side-effects and Erlang does a fairly good job of riding that fine line between ideal theory and pragmatism.

Precisely. Which do you think is the more difficult one?
Indeed, lest our baseball team become the butt of a gambling joke in the Back to the Future franchise. (;

That said, absolutely this. However, I'll add one more thing: The projects that we see getting built seem like they're more tourist-oriented than geared toward improving the standard of living for the city's denizens.

Ultimately, I think the policy thing, especially surrounding the damnable tourist-oriented Loop Trolley, is going to be one of those "lots of dollars squandered while we try to re-learn how to make our city a sustainable (and safe) place to live, work, and play and not just visit" ordeals. That's really quite unfortunate, but the reasons are cultural: We Americans just don't like being told that we're wrong or that something is a bad idea.

"Oh yeah? Well, I'll show you." And then ridership doesn't meet projections, and those politicians wind up losing the Mandate of Heaven^W^W^Wnext election, and then we get the same thing all over again.

It's funny. Not too far off is Madison county, and as far as a semi-rural county goes, I think they actually got the whole infrastructure development thing (more) right (than most urban Midwestern areas). Trails to rails, gradual "nicening" of facilities (i.e., implicit bus stops at intersections to explicit signage to full-out bus shelters), lots of green space between communities, more encouragement to build tighter towns and cities that don't sprawl all over the place, etc.

I found using MCT for the six years that I lived up that way to be on par with, normalized for density, biking Berlin and riding the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe's buses and trains when I last visited there. That's pretty hard to pull off, and it was readily apparent that those were facilities meant to be used by the folks who lived there, not as a vehicle for tourism.
The other half of that sentence is important too:

> ... or prevent future illness

The future illness that they're often protecting the animal from is the natural result of feeding the animal an unnatural diet (corn, soy, etc...stuff that's cheaper than what the animal is historically fed). The illness that's being prevented isn't just possible, it's what would be expected without the antibiotic. Any controls on using antibiotics would need to include provisions for banning them in situations where the health of the animal was knowingly compromised. Otherwise, you create a loophole that allows the industry to make the animals sick and then use antibiotics to treat the sickness they caused.
It sounds like a scene from a movie ("the Exam").
Please tell me you are kidding with that first image. Seriously. Not a single website actually looks like that.
As a Muslim, this article is an eye opener as to how individuals become radicalised. Part of it is due to Terrorist publications, I don't see why these articles/magazines aren't actively being taken down. Most Daesh foreign fighters were recruited through such channels as well.

The other part is unfortunately due to radicalisation by the FBI and other state agencies. Had this teen been made to work for an honest living — as he was trying to by working on a fishing boat, would he realise the value of life. And part of his personality seems odd as well, he's hypocritical and blames his transgressions on western society whereas there are countless cases of individuals living a productive & a peaceful life.

His parents' approach has been reactive instead of being preemptive. Had they known of him sneaking around and being with shady characters they should've had a proper intervention and led him on the right path.

Parenting is hard, and unfortunately this is a case of failed parenting.
