How exactly does one specify / configure which content fields exist on a page? The problem I run into with most static site generators and flat-file CMS's is that even the ones claiming to "not be for blogging" still assume a very blog-like "one main content area per page"... which just doesn't fit the use-case of most sites I've built.

Didn't see anything in the docs about defining the content fields per page/template type, so figured I'd ask.

DFJ has had some great exits over the years. But looking at their current active portfolio, they're a little exposed.... and certainly not investing in any early rounds.

There's some movement in that direction.

However, the R core committers are essentially not only volunteers, but they're all (afaik) academic statisticians. One of the people who made strides in this direction is primarily an computational statistician at Iowa (Luke Tierney / compiler package). Building a high performance runtime/jit is wildly out of their scope of expertise.

In retrospect, and I think many of them would agree, building and maintaining their own runtime was a giant mistake. Yet here we are.

Serious compiler people (Jan Vitek, others) have made strides towards a faster implementation (his in java / fastr IIRC), but it suffers from the same problem as cpython: there are millions of lines of C code in packages or internal functions that have the details of the R interpreter / C interface deeply embedded in them. In fact, there's probably far more "R" code written in C than in R. Undoing this mess is not easy, and probably not possible.

Oh, reading Evaluating the Design of the R Language [1] will shed some more light on why it's hard to make R run fast.

There's a pretty good analysis by 538 about when superdelegate advantage actually becomes relevant, and when the superdelegates would be likely to execute their power:

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/superdelegates-might-not...

Briefly, it would only happen in the occasion of a virtual tie between the two candidates (average of 5% points or less across states), and only if the party insiders believe there is a strong electability case to be made:

"What you’re likely to see in close cases like these is competing claims to legitimacy, with Democratic party elites showing their bias by interpreting the evidence in favor of Clinton. Suppose, for instance, that Sanders is slightly ahead in elected delegates but slightly behind in the overall popular vote, which could happen if he overperforms in caucus states.3 Clinton supporters will argue that popular votes are the truer measure of support. More exotic options might include citing national polls (if Clinton is still ahead in them by June) or the number of states she’s won (if she’s won more than Sanders). If Clinton starts out well behind Sanders but then narrows her deficit, the elites may argue that momentum was in her favor."
I noticed the same thing with gwern posts. I assume what happens is HNers see a random article on the front page, like it, and start browsing the sites archives for other interesting articles. Then they submit them to HN and the process repeats itself.

Fun fact about those leads: the clips that hold the leads to the electrode pads are of many different specifications, i think specific to the manufacturer, so you can't change the lead (and so the monitor) attached to a patient without replacing the pads.

Hence my slightly comical experience of sitting in an ambulance during a transfer from my local accident and emergency department to a specialist cardiac hospital, topless, having my electrodes replaced, then going through the same procedure after the ten-minute drive to the destination!

If someone could disrupt that, that would be great, thanks.

Clearly a lot do, but the concept, once shared, seems to live on. I find it particularly amusing that EBay, which pretty much defined the market for selling your junk online, has now moved so far that there are new startups like "LetGo" and the other one with the name I can never remember trying to be in this space. The concept continues, and the technology to implement it evolves.

As for the question, greed always hijacks progress, that is the lesson of the Prisoner's Dilemma.

I only kinda know the games/rules in America. In America this is wrong. On the other hand, what do I know. It just seems weird.

I'll tell the world one thing, I found out about my character that I'm not proud of. I found "the one" a few years ago. She was sweet, caring, had brilliant foresight, knew people, wasen't materialistic, smart, put others before herself, etc. I would have died for this woman. She was the one I measured the others by.

I ran into her at an office a few weeks ago. I didn't recognize her. I talked to her for close to an hour. She didn't have those qualities seemingly left.

I drove home, and asked--still asking myself; "Did I project these qualities on her because of her looks--years ago?

I met her just after a severe life crisis. She was a coworker. Could I have projected these qualities on her because she was so stunning? I'm still questioning myself. I really didn't think I was that shallow. I actually, didn't think, I was shallow in the slightest, but maybe I am?
R does actually ship with the ability to byte-compile functions these days, and as that functionality matures it may become the default behavior. It's still better to actually learn the language; it's far easier to optimize something like:

apply(X, 1, function(x){
# do stuff to the row of X
})

than:

for (i in 1:nrow(X)){
# do stuff to X[i,], and store it somewhere
}
I just introduced a friend of mine to R. He's working on his PhD in microbiology and beside himself once he started working with R. Personally, I can't believe he hadn't used it before. It really is a beautiful language to work with once you get a handle on it.

This is, rather unfortunately, a pretty pervasive issue which isn't limited to science. I've noticed this trend whereby it is somehow ok to make completely emotional (as opposed to rational) arguments as long as the point they defend is itself politically correct.

As an example (of which there are many), I recently ended up being caught up in a conversation about a man who alledgedly committed rape. Even though the evidence is still being reviewed and no verdict has been served, the man in question is already being carried through the mud and the people in the conversation were quick to bash on him (including people who were hearing about it for the first time). I pointed out that while I do believe that rape itself is a horrible crime, accusing somebody of it without proper knowledge of the facts is unfair ("guilty until proven innocent"), and should all legal and social matters be handled this way, we'd be back to something akin to the Salem trials. The unanimous response was "but this is rape we're talking about, why are you defending him?". At that point, I decided the best course of action was to drop out of the conversation.

This sort of behaviour leads to self-censorship: scientists won't even touch certain subjects for fear of retaliation and people in general will actively opt out of conversations they fear will lead to non-PC arguments or perspectives. This self-censorship therefore ends up reinforcing the "social justice warriors", some of whom would go to any lengths to support their points (including, as the article points out, lie and slander), which in any other context would be considered bullying, or at the very least, intimidation.

This is obviously not helping anybody, including the people who are under the impression they are defending their cause, since no balanced conversation can be had, and some of the people who may have rallied the cause in question would now rather stay silent. To make matters worse, we have major media outlets behaving like tabloids on steroids, dramatizing and muddling issues to sometimes borderline criminal extents.

And finally, perhaps more importantly, there seems to be a general lack of pragmatism when it comes to arguing about sensitive issues (or even in general one might argue). A lot of people seem to take points they don't agree with as signs of aggression and often retort in antagonizing ways, exacerbating ideological gaps and driving away people whose minds they might have been able to change otherwise.
Some places it's worth to own. You may be paying the bank for a few years, but the bank isn't setting rules like no smoking, walkthroughs to enforce compliance, no additional tenets, or "non-refundable pet security deposits."

Maybe R should have optional "training wheels" that produce a warning every time an implicit conversion happens. In the OP's case, it would warn that a data frame was implicitly being converted to a matrix, and maybe also warn that the numeric vectors within were being converted to character in order to get slotted into that matrix.

That article also says the following, indicating that the propagation of this particular mistranslation was even done by Iran itself.

> But the story doesn’t end there. Karim Sadjadpour, an Iranian specialist at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, notes that Iranian government entities began to erect billboards and signs with the “wipe off” phrase in English. Joshua Teitelbaum of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs compiled an interesting collection of photographs of these banners, such as one on the building that houses reserve military forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. “Israel should be wiped out of the face of the world,” the sign reads in English."
Well I can note two things. For one, energy is deeply subsidised in Morocco. Whatever corruption is obviously present in Morocco, sadly, the general public is better off on this road of energy independence, financially too, especially in the long-run, and due to subsidies, in the short term the consequences are limited to some extent.

Secondly, it's absolutely true of course the King is present on every major occasion. But what's the alternative? I don't think Morocco is ready for the alternative. As much as the king sucks in some ways and generates ridiculous revenues for him and his close allies, he's keeping the place together and Morocco is moving forward into a positive future. That's a big deal for what really is quite a poor North-African country with few natural resources, a not so recent colonial past, especially compared to most arab nations that have far more resources. Does the corruption suck? Absolutely, but I see it as part of the system. In much of the 'west' we have taxes that are used to run a more-or-less democratically elected government. In Morocco this tax is levied in the form of corruption and used to run a non-elected system of governance. The former is obviously preferable to the latter, but both are imperfect and the latter is generally working out for the Moroccan public, whose lives are getting better on the whole, their economy is growing on the whole, even through the crisis, in a world that's becoming more grim and harder to navigate. Morocco has deep challenges but the King putting up his usual show/routine is really not one of my current concerns.

Beyond that, it must be said this project was mostly externally funded, from Saudi Arabia, CIF, African Bank etc. If anything, given the strong electricity subsidies for households, I'd expect the public to be net beneficiaries of this project.
Thanks. I almost posted it on my blog instead. I really need to start blogging again. I stopped about 6 years ago because I realized that I was writing a lot of posts and doing talks and mentoring in the Seattle startup community, but I had a startup that was losing money and I had no idea what I was doing. So I didn't really have any right to try and give others advice. So I stopped doing that.

The more I learn the more I realize I don't yet know - and hiring people smarter than I am tends to amplify that effect. So I still don't feel like I'm even close to being an expert - but I can share war stories, data and things that worked and did not. I'll try to get back on my blog and I might get my wife/co-founder involved. She's also been forged in the fires of startup hell and has a lot of wisdom to share I think.

I have a love-hate relationship with R, being a predominantly Clojure (and Ruby these days) programmer who only occassionally dabbles in data crunching.

The apply/sapply dichotomy that the article mentions (actually a hexachotomy, there are also mapply, sapply, tapply and vapply) is one example of a gazillion warts that the language has.

Another random one: R has a useful function, paste, that concatenates strings together. Only it takes varargs, not a character vector, so if you have a vector v of strings, you have to use do.call(paste, v). Only not, because do.call insists that its second argument be a list, not a vector, so you do do.call(paste, as.list(v)). And if you want to separate the strings, say, by commas, you have to affix the named argument sep, obtaining do.call(paste, c(as.list(v), sep=",")).

And R's three mutually incompatible object systems. And so on and so on and so on.

There are things to love. The packaging system works really well. I like the focus that R puts on documentation: hardly anywhere is it so comprehensive, with vignettes and all. There are things plainly inspired by Lisp (R is just about the only non-Lisp I know that has a condition and restart system akin to CL). And ggplot2 is one hell of a gem of API.

In many ways, R is the PHP of data science. (Though the core language's still nowhere near as abysmal as PHP.) Despite all the warts, there are all sorts of statistical analyses that are just a package.install() away. Put another way, R is to data science what LaTeX is to typesetting. It's a heavy pile of ducttape, but it's here to stay because it's just so damn useful.
With JavaScript and AngularJS as my core competencies, I'm a little intimidated to attend the only meetup I'm aware of in my town, which is for PHP. Are devs of all kinds usually welcome at these sorts of events?

Great note about volunteering, that was something I hadn't otherwise considered.

I think this difference makes sense though. Bernie has to convince his supporters that his campaign is picking up momentum, that he actually has a chance so they should go out and vote. On the other hand, Hilary needs to make her supporters worried enough about the competition that they won't just assume it'll be an automatic win, and so they'll vote.

"For java, there is absolutely some “jvm warmup” time that was noticed when there was low activity on the lambda function. To avoid this, we increased the frequency which Fastly was pushing S3 logs and we saw a 2x decrease in run time (from about 6 seconds to 3 seconds). "

Huh? Faster because AWS Lambda is now pre-warming JVMs, or just because it is keeping more of the said lambda function extracted from the zip file into the cache?
Is another front end framework really necessary?
The good part is, since all of them (Vulkan as well as DX12 and Metal) have roots in Mantle, they have a lot of similarities, which makes creating translation layers easier. So I wouldn't be surprised if we'll see Vulkan → DX12 layer in addition to Vulkan → Metal one. As well as other way around.
Hypercorejs, a class management system inspired from Sencha
I would disagree. With spirv we have for the first time a proper language agnostic compilation target. Likewise we have much lower level primitives upon which we can build idiomatic high level abstractions. Existing efforts built upon OpenGL and GLSL are very hairy due to the fact that we are trying to build high level abstractions on top of already high level (and very opinionated) abstractions.

I find this to be a very exciting opportunity, not just for CL but for many other languages, to have a framework that feels like belongs in the host language, not just fugly ffi wrappers.

Define 'reliable long-term'.

Roll-over to new tech is safe. The content of discussion is inherently reliable due to its digital nature.

Keeping multiple copies is necessary practice and the long-time trend is that the next copy you produce has no greater cost than the previous copy (if you wait years, it will be significantly cheaper).
I feel like comments are extremely valuable in API documentation, but not so much in the implementation.

When you're reading an API you want to understand how it works without cracking open the source. When you're looking at an implementation it is your duty to load the source into your comprehension, at which point comments become irrelevant, or worse, misleading.

Could you refer me to the IMF loan, I can't find it?

I do know Morocco took our a precautionary loan, iirc with the IMF, in the past few years which was renewed not so long ago. But it was renewed because it was not exercised, it's more of a free loan option they had secured to protect against the very swings in fossil fuel prices that a project like this diminishes due to increased energy independence. Perhaps that's the loan you're referring to? In that case, note that Morocco didn't actually lend the money, it only secured the option to borrow in case shit hits the fan. (oil goes to $100, which is a disaster for Morocco, but no sign of that anytime soon).
