I would argue that even open source projects have marketing, and external requirements go through that filter. A developer changing their version number from 0.999 to 1.0 is a marketing decision. There's no real technical reason for it, it is a signal to the market - therefore marketing.

>"Say theory A (the placebo effect theory) predicts a 25% improvement, because it's been measured in the past with that result."

That is not a theory. You have to come up with an explanation (a theory) for why it should be that value. Then from that theory you deduce predictions for what it should be under other circumstances. If the predictions are consistently close to the observations it indicates you are onto something.

"Somewhere in the past 50 years or so the media accidentally constructed an artificial reality that was hidden by the on-purpose entertainment reality of TV shows. You look at any of the CSI shows and think, "well, of course this isn't a real representation of actual crime scene investigators." But it never occurs to you to think as they're arresting a suspect, "since when did it become ordinary for professional cops in their 40s to have no kids, tons of disposable income, and regularly go out on dates that end in sex? And what the hell happened to body fat?" "

Is there any way for me to sign extensions myself and trust my own root? I trust Mozilla about as far as I can throw them.

How long until they withhold their signature from an extension which blocks ads from one of their funders, or which supports a political cause they dislike, or are pressured to dislike?

In fact, what assurance at all does Mozilla's signature give me? As far as I can tell, none whatsoever.
> Having just learned of Travis on this thread, I can't seem to find its source code.

https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci

I don't think there's a quick and easy way to set up your local version of Travis, but it does seem possible.

> But is Travis really a tool or just a service?

I would certainly argue it's more on the 'service' end of things. If I had to guess, most people who find hosting their code on Github acceptable (Travis only works with Github at the moment) also find using the Travis web service acceptable as well so there isn't a lot of incentive to use Travis as a locally installed tool rather than using their as-a-service offering.

http://creationwiki.org/Index_to_Creationist_Claims responds to arguments by Talk Origins. Is there a similar site that does the same for climate change?

Better, is there any site that lists all arguments from all sides and reach a conclusion? If they don't reach a conclusion, do they have a issue tracking system and leave the issue open for anyone to find easily and respond?

Debates should have a programming language, have CI for new arguments, have unit tests to check logic, have issues tracked and collaborated on GitHub.
The same idea happens in sports coaching, where simulating a stressful environment is not generally desired except in certain situations.

Yet coaches yelling at youth league basketball players who just so happened to miss their first few free throws, but then regressed to some respectable mean by making an average number of free throws after that, will pat themselves on the back and believe that yelling was a form of constructive feedback.
Angular2's architecture is split in such a way that the rendering layer is separated from the application code. This allows swapping out the render layer - enables stuff like NativeScript and React Native renderers, server-side universal and running your app in a web-worker, dispatching to the main thread to render.
Unfortunately probably not any time soon, for the same reason as ARM: Sandstorm app packages include binaries built for x86-64. We'll need a lot of tooling to make it easy for developers to package for multiple architectures. :/
I don't know what was Knuth's solution, but it's trivial:

(- (reduce '+ vector)
(let ((n (- (length vector) 2)))
(/ (* n (+ n 1)) 2)))

reduce is O(n) time and O(1) space.
length is O(1) time and space.

Notice also that if there are no duplicates, this formula will give the maximum element (- (length vector) 1).

Continuous Discussions: Ep. 31 Recap – Cloud Resources and Your CD Pipeline
It's not so much what I would want automated as what I have already automated. As an example, consider how I handle notes that I leave for myself as I'm working. These are things like paragraphs to be added to a paper, ideas for a research topic, a list of things I have to do around the yard, or anything not directly related to the task at hand.

I have written a script in D (my programming language of choice). I have a web interface to all of the notes I've jotted down in the past. I can click a topic and see all notes related to that topic. I click the new note button, and it opens Emacs with the file that will hold the note. I type in a note in markdown, and as soon as I close Emacs, the note is converted to html. If I want to change it, I hit the edit button, Emacs opens up, and I make my edits. Upon closing Emacs, the html is rebuilt. Anytime I create a new note or edit an existing note, there is a commit to the Git repo.

That's what I mean by automated. I write scripts that handle everything except the content of the notes. I have written or am writing scripts for just about everything I do.

"O(n) issue" is generic for some asymptotic optimization issue. It doesn't literally mean it was running in O(n) and there was a better O(n log n) solution. It could be O(n^2) and there was an O(n) solution or O(n) when there was an O(log n) solution or O(n!) when there was an O(n^2) solution. It just means there was a poor algorithm choice / design decision for some part of the code when a more efficient option is available.

Here's a chart where you can see daily download counts for react, angular, and angular2.

Oh please. Your eyes are a system rife with bugs. You have a blind spot that exists for absolutely no good reason - the bundle of nerves can just as well connect to the back of the retina rather than the front. About 50% of people have a defective lens, which can only be corrected by putting yet another lens in front of it (in frames, directly on the eyeball or by ablating the eyeball in order to turn it into a lens). You can be near-sighted AND far-sighted at the same time. Your eyeballs contain imperfections called floaters that your body has no way of removing, so your brain learns to filter them out. You constantly see your own nose. Some people's eyes are misaligned and they have no depth perception. The colour violet doesn't exist, your red cones are actually activating in response to your blue cones detecting high-frequency blue light. And I don't mean they activate in response to the light, physically the red cones don't detect any of the wavelengths of violet light - they're just wired up in such a way that a low activation of the blue cones triggers activation of the red cones. Some people have a defect that makes their red cones activate in response to wavelengths too close to green light, so they can't tell the two apart. Some are just completely colour-blind. Oh, and the image you get in your eyes is rotated 180 degrees.

Your eyes most definitely don't do just one thing and they most certainly don't do it all that well. But they do an important job reasonably well, which is what strive for in any large software system.
I wonder if you could use this principle to treat people who've just suffered a traumatic experience? Give them a task that requires inhibitory control, and perhaps they won't commit as much of the traumatic experience to memory?

On the other hand, if the mechanism worked this way you'd expect the study participants to have worse recall on all faces, not just the ones with the inhibited responses.
If you read the whole article and the portions of the ruling that it provides, you'd see that the court specifically addresses this. She has a widely known career producing mass commercial public works (documentaries) and they note that it is in the public interest to know what was produced at what age.
Yes, it is; I'm not sure what comparison 'dustingetz was trying to make.
The article mentions running both code paths in parallel, so it becomes a matter of whether they have enough capacity for an extra cost for a (rather specific) path of their code. For this specifically I would imagine the cost is negligible in the big picture, considering regular activity far outnumbers pull/merge requests.
I think you might be referring to the early exit syndrome of Midwestern startups [1].

The point of the article was not to say that exits are bad, only that to develop a cultural milieu of technology in a particular region, there is a need for at least some companies to stick it out and remain determined to become long-lived and predicated upon a chosen workplace culture.

If companies never do that, then a given region can't generate enough inertia to remain a competitive place, and this has all sorts of bad effects on the employment market in that area.

I thought Michael O. Church had a great extension of that article in his recent post [2]. He argues that the broader short-term goals of VCs in general are misaligned with the fundamental value creation premise that undergirds the idea of start-up culture (or at least what was start-up culture when the term was new).

You do know that Bush saved the auto and Obama just kept it rolling, never mind "Republican Governors" like Granholm in office before during and after "Obama saved" the auto industry. What strain did you happen upon?
Am I missing something, or is what the article describes something that doesn't look that far from from React components, really, minus many of its benefits like shadow dom, being reactive, JSX being easier than strings?

So you render all this on the server, and then the client does what, or are is this only targeting static pages?

Er, perhaps.

InChI is already based on nAUTy, which even this work acknowledges as the fastest general approach (except for saucy, bliss, etc).

So there are no implications of László Babai that have an impact on chemistry, AFAICT.
When people point out that Google is behind Angular, they fail to mention that the level of investment is nowhere near that of Facebook in React.

I've been loving using React. Building in components is fantastic, and it just feels like writing Javascript. That's a win in my books.
> If it is asymptotically faster, then it is implied that there are problems the faster one can solve, that the other cannot, assuming finite time.

More precisely, there are problems that the asymptotically faster one can solve in less time than the asymptotically slower one, or, equivalently, there exists some time period at and beyond which the asymptotically faster algorithm can solve problems that cannot be solved by the asymptotically slower one in the same time.

However, the minimum time period where that becomes true with real implementations running on real, available hardware may be very large, so there may not be any practical advantages to an asymptotically faster algorithm.
Not sure why all the down votes?!
Tjäna! Jajaman, det är jag.
Tools already exist for doing run time traces of compiled programs and then optimizing accordingly. A lot of what they focus on is improving locality, moving portions of the executable that are run together near each other so improve the instruction cache hit rate. They also much more aggressively inline, to the point that the overall code size increases but hopefully so does performance.

You actually get a huge amount of perf gains just from improving locality, a lot of in-depth optimizations are possible but I am not sure what compilers now days actually do, it has been a long time since I worked on a compiler team!
Ask HN: With Angular 2 Announcement, React, Telerik NS or Angular/Ionic?
I'm quite comfortable using Angular 1.x and don't know much about Telerik or React.

Been asked for 2 mobile projects (Node or Firebase or Parse backend) from 2 small non-profits. These aren't big or paying projects to help homeless but iOS, Android (Win 10 if doable but not required.)

Out of the 3, what would you recommend with the Angular 2 Beta announcement? I've paid for my own React course (haven't done it yet) and have yet to look up Telerik's Native Script or Angular 2 resources.

Thanks for any advice or experiences you can share.
But will this do anything to address the problem of companies buying existing signed extensions, and then updating them to include shady tracking, ad redirects, etc.?

>I'll try to get it working and send it to you

That would be welcome.

And you've guessed wrong about my wanting to switch to eshell.el: I took a fairly long look at eshell.el, but adopted shell.el instead. After about 5 years of using shell.el, I wrote my own mode for running and capturing the output of command lines, which I have been happily using for the last 9 months.

Like shell.el, my mode relies on a traditional shell like bash or rc to parse the command lines entered into it.

Although I do want to learn how to use Emacs Lisp code to parse the command lines I write, when I do, I'll probably just turn most of those parse trees right back into command lines (i.e., strings) and pass them to rc, bash or dash.

Once I have the ability to quickly modify my Emacs to intercept the occasional command line before it is passed to a traditional shell, in other words, I will probably feel like I have all the control I need over my relationship with the somewhat unruly beast that is the traditional Unix shell and will not feel the need or desire for the code I wrote to actually stop sending command lines to it. I'm not one for making larger changes to my software environment than necessary.

If I could figure out which of the over 13,600 lines of code that is eshell.el is responsible for parsing command lines, I'd use that, but my experience with eshell.el leads me to believe that it will probably be quicker and easier for me just to write code from scratch.
As another data point, the annual groundwater withdrawal from the Colorado river basin is estimated at 5.6 km^3/year over 2004-2013. (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2014GL061055/abst...) Since 1m^3 is 1000 kg, that's 5.6e12 kg/year in that one basin.

The above groundwater figure (and other water-related quantities, like snowpack and reservoir storage) are pretty much at the edge of what can be detected by current gravity-based techniques using GRACE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_Recovery_and_Climate_E...).

Figure 2 in the linked paper (if you have access) shows a nice sinusoidal-like graph of mass in the Colorado basin over this time period. It's a monthly measurement, so daily mass flows like cars would not be present (even if the measurement were precise enough to get at them).
Can you give a transparent answer to this scenario?: Let's say I posted a "Show HN". I would email my friends who are HN users, telling them "hey guys i posted something on hacker news, please go to the front page, find a post titled * and upvote!" I just can't think of a robust way to detect this.

So this is quite interesting: could it be that the total volume of ore excavated per year is comparable to the total volume of new seawater from melting ice? It looks like 5e13 kilograms of ore are excavated per year [1]. At an average density of <5 kg/l, that is the same volume as 1e13 kg of water, or 1/20 times the meltwater from Greenland. No solution to rising oceans :(

Actually the ability to be able to continue to use tab groups was one of the main reasons I changed over to Pale Moon about a month ago. Firefox has plans to remove tab groups. [1]
Haven't had any issue with it so far, but I might be using tab groups in another way as you or as you say they might have ironed out the issues you bumped into.

You are correct that tab groups is offered as an add-on. Had no problem installing it, it even kept all the tabs I had in tab groups in Firefox. For me the transition from Firefox to Pale Moon was very smooth.

Pretty neat idea--they embedded metadata in images then saw how they were stripped out by a large number of sites. Google+ kept the most. Facebook stripped out the most. Most sides made EXIF data inaccessible; not sure why this is but I'm not an expert.
Yep. Sometimes it doesn't always make sense. If your models involve pulling data from multiple different, potentially expensive sources or processes, but your user's request only requires knowing a subset of those results or a subset of the model's properties, you may not want to populate every property of the model.

One reason I like Flask over Django: You can do MVC if you want to, but aren't forced to.

One thing that makes it feel more like a slap in the face is the current perception of openness.

The fact that it's still about equally sleazy then comes as kind of a shock.
