The quote from Stalin comes to mind, quantity has a quality of it's own.
Georgia just ended their EV subsidy. You could get $5000 tax credit on leasing a LEAF for 2 years. That amounted to a free car for two years, in an area where EVs are the perfect commuter car. As a result, Georgia fast developed a huge EV market - which disappeared the moment the tax credit ended.

No surprise LEAF sales just crashed below Tesla's.
If you are speaking about C and C++ I agree.

For other compiled languages, I don't think so.
If you don't want to install a "real" solution like Snoopy Logger that works for all users/shells/edge cases, you could always adapt the bash prompt to write the command out. E.g. I personally use something like this in my .bashrc which logs everything per user, but you could easily adapt this to post to Slack instead:

# Adapted from https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/207813/how-to-log-every-command-typed-into-bash-and-every-file-operation
export ETERNAL_AUDIT_LOGFILE=~/.bash_eternal_auditlog
PROMPT_COMMAND='RET_VAL=$?; history -a; echo "$(who am i | sed -e "s/[[:space:]]\+/ /g") [$$]: $(history 1 | sed "s/^[ ]*[0-9]\+[ ]*//" ) [$RET_VAL]" >> $ETERNAL_AUDIT_LOGFILE'

Output including return code and all parameters:

If you assume no malicious users this will work just fine.
Why don't electric cars come with a tiny kerosene cabin heater as standard? A small heater would take up little space or weight, could be easily refueled at home so not need a detour to a petrol station, and be much more cost effective than adding extra batteries just to provide cabin heat. Sure, it's not zero-emission, but the efficiency of a kerosene heater can be pretty good (much better than an internal combustion engine) and it might go a long way to increase the usefulness on cold days.
You may be surprised by how many hidden gems, you have in your own network. It probably applies if you have worked for a long time (10+ years). Some months back, I was able to hire an ex-colleague, who is a great developer. Who took a paycut to join my company for privileges like work from home, and freedom to work on cutting-edge tech (relatively, by leaps, from his prior long held position in a corporate).
Apologies for the slowness. I suspect it was struggling under the traffic. It seems to be running pretty quickly now, though.

Most of the images are automatically tagged, and can sometimes be incorrectly labelled. I'm aiming to work through and manually check them all. In the meantime, I might add the ability to flag incorrect keywords.
That doesn't appear to be the same article - so this isn't a duplicate story - just a duplicate (but much more recent) mention of the technology in question.
Yes, I read those, but I still don't see the assumption made.

The first more general sentence does not imply that the all the countries mentioned in the second make up the entirety of Europe.

It makes sense that the author would make a specific comparison with the countries involved in the war, rather than doing so for all the countries in medieval Europe.
What I'm offended by is an HN user posting shitty sites like that into the comments. I expect more from HN users, and think the community should be aware of sites that do shitty things to users.

Getting an adblocker isn't a solution for an HN user ignorantly posting a source that does shitty things to its users. Informing the user about their garbage link is the correct response.
If you update a central library (e.g. openssl), you'll have to restart in order to deal with in-memory copies being used by other programs. If you're running a Debian server one of the packages to include in your base install is debian-goodies or needrestart because the former bundles a very helpful little script called "checkrestart" and the latter is an updated systemd-compatible version, both of which use `lsof` under the hood to determine when and why package updates require a restart for full effect.
This seems a good place to post about Mad Jack Churchill, who brought his longbow to France in 1940 and shot a German with it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill
Why has Google open sourced TensorFlow?
Not strictly true - Cromwell conquered Scotland after yet another of the interminable invasions of England by Scotland. It was more a case that after Edward I, England simply wasn't interested in conquering Scotland - there were richer prizes elsewhere.

Makes me want to learn how to use the longbow.

It seems a challenge that this skill has been lost, and is interesting in that how long it took to develop.
Yes, it was a joke that apparently was only funny to myself, which I am fine with.
It's nice to see the conventional wisdom confirmed for once, but... isn't this the conventional wisdom?

I wouldn't put too much faith in email clients html output being sane, or consistent across clients.

You could do it with markdown, but then you're still having to teach them markdown.
My week old baby is already contributing to science. The doctors are collecting blood, stool, skin-, and nose-swab samples to try to build a corpus of data to track infection rates and see if they can draw correlations. They even took my blood and poo for it, as well as mom's blood, poo, saliva, and skin swabs.
Was it really a fork? I was under the impression that they were just directly rebuilding the RH packages, and maybe adding a couple of new ones. Like CentOS, but it's another company doing it and profiting by free-riding on RedHat's work.

I can understand RedHat being pissed about that.
>There's another major problem: preventing peasants from being a threat whilst still yielding some benefit from the longbow could easily have been achieved by restricting archery training to nobles and selected privileged guards, who had more time and inclination towards military training than the peasantry anyway.

That was pretty small number of people in the middle ages, and they would already have been trained as mounted knights or men-at-arms so retraining them as archers would not be a net gain unless one archer was more valuable than one man-at-arms which I don't think is likely.

The advantage of the longbow is that once trained, you could raise a large army quite cheaply but that army only worked as part of a combined arms operation that also had armoured infantry and cavalry. That means that you don't want to sacrifice the other elements of your army in order to build a longbow capability.

Didn't realize they were still moving forward with that (despite using CAcerts myself). Thanks for the heads up. I suppose that's as good an excuse as any to hold off a bit on moving to letsencrypt (To be clear, with CAcert not being in any of the default cert-stores, I wouldn't recommend avoiding letsencrypt in favour of CAcert to the casual user -- but I don't (currently) need a widely trusted anchor for what I use CAcert for. Even if it would've been nice if it was widely trusted out of the box).

Review of RoboFuk – the iPhone sex toy
The story of Jasper Lawrence is pretty interesting. He suffered from severe allergies that incapacitated him much of the time. He got so deperate that he went to Cameroon and walked around in poop in open latrines to infect himself with hookworms. Couple of months later his allergy symptoms were gone.
Your first comment reads like if it was serious though, sorry. I suggest use '/s' for this situations, even though it's a bit lame to have to denote sarcasm. Also, the head of the thread is flagged out, so people who took yours seriously probably thought that you made that comment.
It's an article about the military advantages the English had because of the longbow while fighting the Scots and the French and why the latter never adopted it as a weapon.
Likely. Data analysis (of which ML is an important part) is needed in many places, from entry-level to top-level.

I am a data science freelancer and I mostly do projects for IT-dominated companies. First, I was surprised that such companies need some external help with relatively simple tasks; only later I discovered that top-notch performance in webdev (or even: algorithms) does not mean that someone is able to do simplest data analysis.

For data science / ML - I know a lot of openings in which they are looking for "data scientists", but what they mean is software engineers with at least a slight idea what is data analysis.

When it comes to deep learning in particular - I don't know.
There are things you can do to mitigate the risk of centralized infrastructure. This is a fascinating talk by Geoff Bilder at Crossref, that covers what the risks are and what, e.g. ORCID did to head off some of the potential issues: https://youtu.be/cyKBsKgA7eA?t=2126 (starts at 35 minutes)
In fact http://www.bowyers.com/bowyery_longbowOrigins.php says the contrary to what you are claiming, and in their account of the Cercy battle they clearly mention how the longbow outranged, and out-powered the crossbow (look for paragraph "Crecy 1346: the Longbow's Finest Day").

Excerpt 1: "The crossbowmen had a lethal range of up to about 80 yards, and took up an initial position 100 yards from the English, in line across the field. Unfortunately for them they quickly found out that the longbow now had a lethal range of well over 100 yards. "

Excerpt 2: "They were shocked to find that the longbows could now penetrate French armour, and could also down the horses."
While some might disagree, I definitely agree. Often there is no need to install updates at all on machines that only perform one or very few functions that have limited/no network connectivity. Things like HVAC and SCADA systems that only talk to hardware and not the internet, and are physically secured well.

I've seen many windows systems with uptimes of several years that have never required any maintenance.
> Perhaps an analogy could be painted with companies today. Those that churn, and those that nurture skills.

Those that nurture skills would only be powerful in their own niche, and unable to significantly project power without a cohort of allies?

In the age of the longbow, England dominated the British Isles, whose other denizens were significantly smaller in population and economy. The French, on the other hand, kicked England out of the continent, and were a continental power. The English won some key battles, but at the end of the age of the longbow, the scorecard was in France's favour.
Maybe, but when you buy your car it's important to realize that these $7,500 are not just free money, they have a direct impact on your car resell value.

So if you buy a leaf that starts at $30,000, get rebates to $20,000, you must remember that since anyone can get it new for $20,000 that's the actual "new" value to take before you apply depreciation.

In other words you're not really buying a $30k car for $20k, you're buying a $20k car.
Essentially a pure EV auto, while it has lots of positive points, is an auto that can't do everything that a current ICE auto can. There are ways to mitigate that. If an individual or family has multiple vehicles, maybe their usage is such that they're OK with one of those vehicles having a potential range limit. Maybe longer distance needs are sufficiently rare that renting a car for those times isn't unreasonable. An EV probably isn't right for you if you can't charge it at home.

None of that means that there isn't a market for pure EVs. But each limitation makes it less suitable as a truly mass-market vehicle and makes it more likely IMO that various types of hybrid designs will be more popular in the mainstream.

Here's a question I've always wanted to ask someone about electric cars: Why don't the companies make cars with detachable batteries, and basically do a battery 'swap' in the charging stations, so that the charging time becomes very little, if people want to?
Well there was this a few weeks ago:

Perhaps it pissed them off?
This argument again...

The average commute time in 2011 was 25.5 minutes in USA and 24.5 in Canada. In Canada 17.2% of commuters drove more than 45 minutes to get to work. Source: https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/nhs-enm/2011/as-sa/99-012-x/99-0...

At least for 82.8% of people the commute as well as grocery stop can be handled with a single charge. For many their whole day of driving can be done with a single charge!

Now consider that for the people for who the daily errands are within the sweet spot they never have to waste time to stop anywhere to charge! Their charging station is at home.
Maybe I'm reading too much into this. It's just that I disagree with both sentences.

Mongol composite bows were superior ranged weapons and were used in Europe since 14th century.

And there were other politicaly stable countries in that period, including Teutonic Order, Poland, Venetian Republic among others.

‘No layoffs … this week’: Marissa Mayer’s creepy comment kills morale
About two years now, and I'd been doing it less strictly / on-and-off for a year and a half before that.

I've definitely noticed feeling much more focused and productive since starting, and it also helped with dropping from 210 to a bit over 150 pounds in the first few months of 2014.

Also anecdotal, my cofounder at my current startup Cyph has been on keto for close to a year now, and in that time has had a heart condition almost entirely vanish and his body fat drop to something like 6%.

Those poo transplants have saved a lot of people suffering from Clostridium difficile colitis, a very serious and potentially fatal condition.
Great run for all-original equipment. I worked at Shell's Westhollow Research Center in the mid-90s. We handled the nightmare of standardizing the desktop space (for the first time ever).

A lab was decommisioning an instrument controller that had been running non-stop since they had first spun it up, fresh out of tge paking box, a decade previous.

And they had never backed up any of the data. Sure, the solution was the pretty straight forward use of a stack of floppies. It was still pretty nerve-wracking having a bunch of high-powered research scientists watching over my shoulder, "making sure" I got all their research data off the machine they were too smart to ever back up themselves. Good Times.
I thought so as well - the abstract doesn't seem like new information.
I don't think that use case is so massive.

Nice list, for just names it's a great resource. I see some umlauts, spaces in names, punctuation in names, and it's clearly splittable for first/last name fields. I'm not sure what other ground could be covered that someone would need to account for.

I'm not "book" cultured, so a lot of names I don't recognize, but nice shout outs to 30 Rock and Anchorman :p

> it will probably help more than any amount of exercise ever will.

Unless the issue is solely anxiety-based, exercise would in most cases help a considerable amount. Especially for smaller medical concerns (not sleeping well, aches, mild anxiety), doctors usually cannot really help. Medical intervention generally does not make sense until something is really wrong, and a proper exercise habit is a very good way to help prevent many types of conditions. Before I had experience with doctors, I thought they would be able to solve any medical problems, but I learned the hard way that with many problems they often cannot help a significant amount, if at all. Medicine is still a very crude science. Plus, it would be a folly to think a doctor cares as much about your health as you do. If you care about yourself, you need to do your part with diet and exercise.
>"For data science / ML - I know a lot of openings in which they are looking for "data scientists", but what they mean is software engineers with at least a slight idea what is data analysis."

I've been wanting to get into this field recently. Do you have more info about these openings, perhaps?
Does that worth to be shared in this community? has that ever been a problem worth mention to someone? I am only aware to problems related to those names when a living person feels they are using their name/image in a defamatory or unauthorized way but I think anyone can find by herself a fiction or historical name for that task (or generics such as John Smith/Max Mustermann)
It seems like a focus on the internal human biome could be a Kuhnian paradigm shift -- but like everything else about health, it also presents ripe opportunities for quackery. Let's see some more real research on this before anyone starts trying to self-infect.
Nice! May I ask if you collected those manually? Perhaps they should be sorted/divided according to the genre they're from? Books/Movies/Tv-shows, etc?

This list made be realize a sort-of annoying (sometimes) tendency I seem to have developed. It appears that my first reaction to cool things is now not wonder but 'I need to engineer the shit out of fit'.My first thought after looking at the list was not 'wow, cool', but more of 'so if I use Named Entity Recognition, and a large corpus, I could have tens of thousands of such names in hours. Maybe I can catch up on computational linguistics literature on the issue, and even identify the relative importance of characters on the text. Should be a day-long project'. Need to learn to enjoy things for what they are, sigh.
In fact, Chinese can express more meanings than English, not by using more characters, but by multiple meanings of the same character.

So, if you want to express the world better, try this language.
If you mean the visual "look", I would just buy a template or engage a designer (even 99 designs). This is for graphic design in the sense of layout, color, fonts, etc.

If you mean UX in the sense of "how it works", learn about user testing (just watch people use your app) -- that's the biggest bang for the buck, IMO. Krug's "Don't make me think" is a good start.

If you mean UX in the broad sense of "your user's life is improved by using your app" -- this is more of a product design thing -- my go-to recommendation is learning about Jobs-to-be-Done theory.
