Hydroponics and aeroponics don't require any soil. Using red/blue grow lights instead of full spectrum roughly halves that solar power estimate, and in space they have no atmosphere to block the sun. The ISS certainly couldn't be self-sufficient as is, but it could be with relatively modest expansion.
Right, but you missed the salient point: it also does not make sense for files smaller than about 200KB.
This is a perceptive comment that is a fine addition to the thread. You could make it even better by expanding on what parts of the article ring false in your experience. But an article having bias or other weaknesses isn't enough to convict it of offtopicness, the capital offense of articles. Many on-topic articles have that degree of weakness, especially when the topic is poorly understood.

Nor would I call anecdote a weakness. Anecdotes are legitimate, fascinating, and indispensable to good conversation. Half if not more of the best material on HN is anecdotes. That's how communities function, so it's deeply ok.
I was working there in Dublin - be prepared for a lot of scammers visitting you every freakin' evening at home, amazingly huge house rental fees and spoiled landlords thinking how to cheat you on the rentals, houses/appartaments full of shitty infrastructure, awful wheather, terrible public transportation and waisting your time on registering yourself to get PPS number from the depart of Social Welfare. Without that you will be forced to pay 41%of taxes etc... Go find the job in UK or somewhere else, keep far away form Ireland. Also - Irish guys are most of the time arrogant, thinking they are the most intelligent people on the Earth. Wouldn't go there anymore...
That number seems ridiculously high.

Local figures here suggest much lower rates:

I'm curious, what security tools did you have in place that were failing to stop the attacks?
Aside a jaunt over to HackerNews? ;)

I agree. As an aside, Slack has been getting so much usage internally (and everyone learned about @notifications) that it's turned into a massive source of interrupts. It's hard to idle in a number of channels without eventually getting @channel notifications. Perhaps it's a cultural thing here, but there's an expectation that questions are answered immediately unlike email.

I've taken to turning off Slack for periods every day to get work done.
I recently installed Drupal on my new domain / website (it has an .xyz extension) and a certain IP was trying to hit all sorts of WordPress related links.
True. In my case, I've been paying for 10 fonts. That's $6.25 / month -- still peanuts.

If they had doubled the price and changed the billing period to 6 months, I wouldn't even have noticed because the price is so low.

Hey @josefresco

Do you have any samples? One of the biggest reasons for this is if it's endpoint malware, versus website malware. Two very different things as you might know. Regardless, would love some samples if you any.

I didn't attack anyone, I only said you were not possibly smart enough to pass the entrance exam, I didn't pass it either on first attempt, I managed to get into decent school on second try. Azad wasn't very good university at first it was kinda like a high school at the beginning ( my high school use to be Azad branch in after hours !!!) , I have seen it grown since its inception, now is good enough on main branches in big cities, in terms of equipments even with sanctions we had good stuff, for sure not as Ivy league universities in US, but good. yes I am living in Canada, I also lived in 4 other countries and I am still proud of whatever my country provided for me, with education that I had in Iran, and my hard work today I work for one of top 3 software makers in world.I am by no means elite but may be in brain drain stats ;). since you are in US go to any decent US university's engineering department and see how many Iranian educated boys and girls study there, and how many of them actually finished their BS or MSc in Iran.
here in Canada/Quebec in one of the universities 70% of Phd students are Iranian (official stat by university itself). they must have had decent education to get accepted for continuing higher education, i guess, what do you think?. for you information my wife also study Phd in McGill, she finished her Msc and BS in Iran. education in Iran is way more decent than many other countries and is cheap or free. today they don't have a big competition to get into universities as there many more seats available.we don't have terrible society we only have terrible individuals which could possibly include myself too. so let's fix ourselves first.

Isn't that a problem with most typed languages? You're bringing in untyped data, so native types need to be spelled-out somewhere.

There's a line somewhere between excessive verbosity and dumb trust (like the YAML snafu). I haven't seen great syntax yet, though.
You are confused between banknotes and actual money. You are confused between the central bank and the executive government. Just because the Government controls the central bank, it doesn't mean it IS the central bank.

And Yes, printing more money does increase inflation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seigniorage

The government mints banknotes, it cannot create money without reducing it's value. Banknotes are backed by government's own debt to the central bank. So, even if you print 10x the number of notes already in circulation, it's backed by the same government debt, and so, the value of yuan will fall to a tenth.

Infiniband is really great stuff. Unfortunately kernel support has been spotty at times, especially the SCSI RDMA client and IPoIB.

That said, if you have those issues sorted it's insanely fast, reliable and has great diagnostics and performance tools available.

I have long wished for it to displace Ethernet in the datacenter but I have basically given up hope on that for now.

Infiniband is likely to live on not as an interconnect but rather as a L3/L4 set of protocols to implement RDMA on lossless Ethernet.

Surprising they're working with Lending Tree, which is very nearly a scam site. When you sign up with LT, your information is sold immediately, your credit is pulled multiple times (making it harder to get a mortgage), and you get an endless torrent of spammy calls. See CreditKarma reviews of LT: https://www.creditkarma.com/reviews/auto-loan/single/id/Lend...

Edit: A question about the mathematics of mortgage brokers. From what I've read, mortgage leads are sold for ~$30 and have a conversion rate of ~1-3%. This means that the purchaser of the lead has to recover ~$1500 per closed loan to pay for buying the leads. Doesn't this mean that loans from a broker site like this will cost you a lot more than working with lenders directly? My mortgage (from a direct lender) was a much better deal than I ever found on Bankrate.

Wow, ok then. What I love about the quote is the notion that a practitioner who is "great" can do something that no one has ever done before while acknowledging that you can be "good" with just the skills to re-do what has been done before.

I do separate in my mind engineers that can take a blank sheet of paper and create something completely new, and engineers can really only start from something that already is, or a close to what they want, and morph it into something else.

I'm not saying it shouldn't I'm just saying there isn't some magical barrier that protects men against pressure to have children.
Both men and women have a biological clock, women start to produce less eggs and those that are produced are of lesser quality, same thing happens with sperm.
There is direct correlation between health problems, IQ and various other factors to the age of both parents not just the woman.
At least as far as Europe goes from my personal experience having kids trumps marriage here, you'll see far more unmarried couples in a long term committed relationship (2-3+ years) with kids that are not married than in the US.

I think there is a difference between hiring someone as a machine learning expert with the intent of having them work as a ROR maintainer and hiring the person and asking them later when an urgent need comes up. If you are a small company growing rapidly it is impossible to anticipate all future needs in advance. This means on occasion you get mismatched between skills and needs.
> because it wasn't inline with their holy views of writing god-awful code.

Code quality is for the most part subjective. Sure there are standards or general conventions, but these differ largely between codebases and languages. Some people take this to extremes, especially if they're not used to coding with other programmers.

> When I take up small projects, I make sure they're useful for production purposes.

> ...

> I often think about the portfolios of people like this, a large number of repositories to show for, and nothing ever particularly useful.

That's fine, but some of us tinker and hack for a different reason: knowledge and curiosity's sake. For me (Although I know it also applies to a few other people I know), the sole goal is learning and experimenting -- a working project is just a bonus. Occasionally I'll code a tool to make life easier, but it's not the be-all-and-end-all.

> When I pursue a project, I work on it in terms of 10s of thousands of lines of code over a 2-4+ year span of time.

It's great that you have the energy to do that, but I (and I can't speak for anyone else here) simply don't have the energy to devote my time to a single project over a long period of time. I find it wears me out, and after a while programming turns into drudge-work. Not to mention there are always fun cool little projects popping into my head.

Sorry, my mistake. WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg on his own site describes it more as the project and the "experiment" behind it.

My understanding is this can be used as an interface to all WordPress blogs. My take is that although this is acting through WordPress.com as an API intermediary, it is only steps away from peeling out the whole PHP layer for these interfaces.

WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg described it as:

> At the beginning of last year, we decided to start experimenting and see.

> Today we’re announcing something brand new, a new approach to WordPress, and open sourcing the code behind it. The project, codenamed Calypso, is the culmination of more than 20 months of work by dozens of the most talented engineers and designers I’ve had the pleasure of working with (127 contributors with over 26,000 commits!).

People do not use the terms consistently.

The difference is SUPPOSED to be that a Future is read-only while a Promise is settable. And should be set at most once! So you can use a Promise as a Future, but you can't always use a Future as a Promise.

Linguistically you can understand this as, "I Promise you'll see a Future answer." I need to be able to write to the Promise to fulfill it. You can only hope that some day the Future will arrive.
> Since nobody would pay for random points in theorem-space, it must have some way of figuring out what the human brains down at the breaker box actually want.

Would a machine learning approach be possible? For example, has anyone built a generative model, trained from theorems (and proofs) from math texts or formalized versions thereof?
When it ends up in the environment and eventually the ocean, fresh water is destroyed. Period. It is no longer fresh water. You can reconstitute it at great expense, manufacture it practically.

When it's pulled from deep, ancient reservoirs that get replenished very slowly it's slowly destroying the reservoir. Given the time-scales involved, where tens of thousands of years or more are required to re-fill these, it's effectively permanent destruction.

Your argument is extremely misleading. It's like saying gasoline isn't destroyed by cars because you can always reverse the process.

I do enter into an agreement when i go to a theater to watch a movie - I have paid for a ticket to a specific movie, consented to the business' rules (who in turn had to agree to the creators rules), etc.

On the other hand, when i view a billboard, i have entered into no such agreement. I just moved my eyes and there it was - i consented to nothing, i purchased nothing, i am under no obligation to take any action or to behave within certain defined parameters.

Since a website is made publicly viewable, it is not at all like a movie, it is instead like a billboard.

I enter no contract when i move my gaze onto a public resource (be it digitally or physically).

Or should I start putting up billboards with cameras tracking license plates and MPH, with fine print saying you agree to be physically tracked using my billboards and allowing me to send all collected information to the police and advertisers?

And then when you block my camera, i will sue you for breaking the TOS of my billboard, that you consented to by seeing the billboard.

I've been partial to Heinlein's idea of the "general specialist" lately:

"Computermen sent up to install Mike were on short-term bonus contracts— get job done fast before irreversible physiologlcal change marooned them four hundred thousand kilometers from home. But despite two training tours I was not gung-ho computerman; higher maths are beyond me. Not really electronics engineer, nor physicist. May not have been best micromachinist in Luna and certainly wasn’t cybernetics psychologist. But I knew more about all these than a specialist knows—I’m general specialist. Could relieve a cook and keep orders coming or field-repair your suit and get you back to airlock still breathing."

How can essential Git features be a mismatch? For example, the CI can sign release tags, and you can deploy them with confidence. GitHub is not a small company. Gitolite is developed mainly by a single guy. Okay, there's no pretty UI, but developing one nowadays is not a huge task. The way Gitolite can handle a significant feature set is very elegant! I'm surprised GitHub behaves like they don't know about the existence of Gitolite!
On that I some what agree, men that pay child support should get joint custody / visitation rights unless there is risk of harm to the child, it's pretty bleak that men are still forced to pay child support and the mother can claim that they have no rights to ever see the child.

I also believe that child support should be for the child, the mother should not be able to use it for anything which isn't directly related to childcare, and it should be in it's base a flat amount based on living costs rather then a percentage of your income (unless you willingly want to pay more).

That said men have very easy way to avoid children and that's to use a condom or to pick a partner who does not want them, if you are both willingly make one or take on the decision to keep it own up to it the child should not suffer because of that.

Forcing women to have an abortion will never happen, forcing them to give the child up for adoption will never happen, men and women are not identical and so will never be truly equal in every regard, it's not like women can force sperm out of you without assault or rape.

And if there's some extreme case when fraud has actually been committed e.g. she intentionally sabotaged contraception or went "Satisfaction" on you taken your sperm while you were unconscious (which is technically rape) you should be able to sue for a weaver.
