I hate how programming is so inconsistent. I mean, in vim I press 'w' to move one word, whereas in Notepad I press Ctrl-Right. They're not even close! I hate it when I use someone else's editor and I have to re-learn all the commands. I wish programmers could standardise this stuff. Maybe there could be a committee whose job it is to standardise editor commands, then we could program in any editor without having to worry about it.

[I'm joking of course, but only half-joking. There's a serious point to be made, which is that mathematics exists completely independently of notation. When mathematicians don't care about notation, it's because they care about the actual mathematics instead. The reason mathematics notation is non-standardised is because standardising it wouldn't really help mathematicians that much. Unfortunately this means that non-mathematicians who use mathematics suffer.]
Civ V completely redid movement. The prior games would allow you to stack units, so you'd end up with a 1-tile "stack of doom"; later-game fights would be reduced to these stacks of doom wearing each other out instead of tactical play. Additionally, making a unified front was difficult because of square tiles (a unit could move in 8 directions).

Civ V changed it so that only a single unit of a given type (military vs utility) could occupy a tile, and switched from a square grid to a hex grid. Individual moves may matter less, but the combat game benefitted greatly.
It's easy to live your life to keep Google happy. 301 redirects have been an important part of online website life.

If a user has a bookmark to an old resource, then it's a liability for you to try to keep your web of 301s working.

> Except IPython is bad garbage

How is Jupyter/ipython even close to garbage? It works for millions of people and works well. You might not prefer it but it is a brilliant project that you don't like but calling it Garbage is extreme. I am guessing there are many garbage programming languages out there also?

The biggest scientific breakthrough of gravitational ripples was produced with a Jupyter notebook. Major companies use them. Please don't call people's hard work "garbage."

P.S. I don't use Juypter daily and it isn't my first choice but it is extremely useful.
The x250 has great battery life. The keyboard is a little better than the X240, but not as good as the X220 or even the X230. Some of the keys are not full size. The function keys are garbage by default, but there's a persistent Fn lock (might be a BIOS setting, don't recall).

Performance wise it's very nice. Screen is decent, too. My only complaint is the that the keyboard has a bunch of non-full size keys. End and Insert are on a single key. Someone should be shot for that.

Having had to work with ADP and a number of insurance agencies before on technology projects- I can't imagine what a nightmare scenario it would be to try and automate all of these companies together.

I could see how a company could try to fake it until they make it- as in, until they get enough clout (via money, customer base, important friends) that the companies they're trying to automate realize that it is in their best interest to work with them. However, while trying to make it, I would think that you would do everything humanly possible not to screw up even one piece of data for even the lowliest of customers. If you are 100% above board and have a really good process in place, when things happen you can be pretty sure it wasn't you, and you can be in a better position to actually help the client.

FFS, Zenefits is screwing up the only thing about employment that matters to a lot (most?) people: the freaking paycheck and the health care. Hearing all these horror stories it becomes hard to see how Zenefits gave a crap doing their job at all- I can understand a mistake, but a mistake with a devil may care attitude means you've lost my business forever.

Ask HN: Symbolic AI, Where to start?
Héllo,

I'm trying to get started with symbolic AI. I hear that the best of the best in the field is Cyc tho it's not opensource. I'm not willing to loose time a on some-what-opensource-project-but-not-really.

I started learning minikanren, but I don't find much example use of it in the field of symbolic AI in particular NLP tasks.

My aim is to be able to build by hand a Q/A system on-top of ConceptNet or WikiData to understand how it falls short compared to probabilistic solutions.

How do you think I should continue my journey. Learn Prolog or Problog, maybe you can advise the study any particular free Q/A system?
I have a lot of respect both for the artists that made this and for the scientists pushing boundaries forward in a way that was almost inconceivable a decade ago.

That said, if anyone here works at JPL, I can't be (but feel like I am) the only person wondering what the hell happened to memex-explorer.

We are talking about the obvious change in search. If you are not familiar, the memex-explorer project seemed to be the first company that realized an open source tailored version of google can ve assembled out of Apache open source projects. You define a crawl structure and save your data into silos you control while using your own parameters to search.

However, despite what appeared to be solid progress and the initial buzz of articles labeling the google killer- and to be clear this tech will evolve in 1-2 years and diminish googles adverts, the project has a simple commit that says:

Not actively maintained.

Why did JPL stop working on this? Darpa brought the world TOR so they do deliver projects that could potentially be problematic to the gov't, so I don't want to jump into conspiracy theories, but what the fuck.

Tl;dr super obvious hadoop, solr, dns and elastic search is pretty much google and the browser can never be decoupled from search. JPL got close to giving the user all 3 in unity under their control and then project was abandoned. I'll say it i guess, having 50% concentration in browsing and the only proper centralization of most peoples thoughts is a big loss to google, and if I am being honest I think the govt.
10 Lessons Learned from Top Angel Investors
It's not about controlling which opinions you can express, it's about how to react to them. It's possible for both of us to be intolerant without resorting to physical violence or government-based force.

If you express an intolerant opinion, it's important for me to express that I think you're full of shit and why, and that I won't tolerate it, without physically lifting a finger against you, or otherwise trying to destroy your life or well being. That's how and why freedom of speech works. It doesn't indemnify you from the consequences of expressing your opinions.

I am fully justified in expressing my intolerance of your intolerance without resorting to violence. I'm not going to wait for you to go as far as to hit me in the face or spend money on a propaganda campaign that's actively trying to destroy my marriage (for example), before I verbally express my intolerance of something you said or did.

But if you donated to a political campaign that results in destroying my marriage, or if you're the executive director of an organization dedicated to that cause, and I find out that you've been having gay sex orgies on the low down, or cheating on your wife on Ashley Madison, then it's totally justified for me to publicly out you, and if your wife decides to divorce you or FRC decides to fire you upon learning that, then it's between you and them, and what I did was totally justified, no matter how much you feel like playing the victim.

There are hopeful signs that this is starting to change. The 2012 XCOM title has a more console-friendly interface (it plays better with a controller) and has a great mobile port (the iOS version is mechanically identical to the PC game, and is only missing a few maps and graphical flair). Yes, that title is streamlined, but that streamlining sanded off the rougher edges of the 1990s games (especially in the tactical mode, where managing time units was a constant pain).

"[The European honey bee] hasn’t stumbled upon the swarm countermeasure, so the hornet scout inevitably marks a European bee nest and returns with its friends."

Given how devastatingly effective these hornets are, the honey bee swarming behaviour seems to be a completely "over-the-top" reaction that thankfully works for them, although the bees (surely?) have no idea why.

Have any beekeepers been successful teaching European (or any other type of) honey bees new, complex behaviours? If they have, how do newly acquired behavrioual patterns spread beyond the initial target hive?
One can, however, catch some of these with unit tests, in maths just as well as in code. The unit tests for maths are tiny, trivial cases of the main theorem. For instance, if I wrote down Fermat's Last Theorem as "x^n + y^n = z^n has no solutions for n > 1", I would run my unit tests by checking the boundary case n=2, and discovering the easy counterexample of (3,4,5).
It's really not the same. Research, city management, and combat are nowhere near the level of complexity a Civ game really needs to shine.

Combat boils down to Civ 4-era "stacks of doom", only after the early game you need to build 3 of every unit to combine them into an army of that unit. From there, it's building the biggest stack of doom and ranking up units the highest.
There are a lot of people expressing their love for the tool but until now I fail to see why. "Love" is not a good enough reason for me to exchange a seemingly good enough standard tool with something else. Also the situations in which I want to optimize the Terminal are few.

Because tradeoffs. You can't have everything you want, so you want all of your hardware from the chip to the radio to the camera to be optimized for your priorities.

Given their volume, Apple could probably have outsourced design and still gotten reasonable results, but look at what happened when they outsourced their chip production to Samsung: they helped create their closest competitor.

And it helps their overall business model to keep competitive/strategic decisions under wraps as long as possible, which would be harder if someone else was apprised of their chip direction.
Sounds like a reasonable guess, but strikes me as the lazy way out... other sites (Amazon comes to mind) manage to find ways around similar issues with an "I am not a US citizen/resident" option (which may or may not require additional documentation for verification.)

They're certainly entitled to do whatever they want, but it looks to me like opening up a significant opportunity for someone to clone their business model in the rest of the world and beat them at their own game.

In college, I was a mechanical engineer living with a CompSci major, CompE major, and a CompSci / CompE double-major. I'd occasionally stop them when they were explaining things to me with "Explain like I'm a MechE". Slightly less self-deprecating than "mathematically inclined idiot", but same gist.

Because of this, I was also quite useful as a rubber duck for debugging.
