Maybe we'd make more progress if we stopped denigrating people for trying to do what they can. It may not be enough, but at least some people are trying to do _something_. But when you put people down this way, it makes them less likely to do anything, because no one wants to be labeled as vacuous and superficial (AKA "hipster").
Sure but it's just the kernel, and that's just a mirror. Linus does not use Github to manage kernel development. In fact he's been vitriolic in the past about how Github does pull requests.

I wonder how much traffic the Github Linux repo gets. Seems to me that people who want to use Linux, will go get a distro instead. And people who want to develop the kernel, will follow the kernel development process (which doesn't rely on Github).

You misunderstand what business this safe manufacturer is in. He's in the business of high-security safes. Any bypass technique he comes up with must be as specific as possible, and defended in every way possible, lest he fail his customers [0] and destroy his reputation (and -thus- his entire business) as a high-security safe manufacturer.

So, yes, the technique developed must be limited -as far as is possible- to a single safe (or phone). Anyone who reads HN knows that leaks happen. The more valuable a piece of information, the more likely someone with the ability to snatch it will be targeting it. And -as we should all know by now- it's tremendously difficult to prevent a state-level actor from acquiring data that's not very securely locked away.

Again, if you're in the business of providing high-security services to your clients, you are going to ensure that any bypass mechanism you're forced to make is as difficult to create and one-time-use as possible.

[0] And -in some jurisdictions- aid in the "legal" torture, imprisonment, or death of his customers.
The problem is that the initial clone is depth=1, then subsequent fetches are depth=MAX. If you did clone depth=MAX in the first place it is faster to serve.

Shallow (depth=1) can be converted into a full clone with the above.

The extrapolation you are making here is that historical studies are essentially pointless. For most of history we have a few rock scratchings or a one sentence accounts of major figures doing something. The bar for almost everything accepted as "historical fact" is far below the "blatantly obvious" statement that I threw out there.

>Good science does not accept "blatantly obvious" as any kind of proof. Reasoning alone just gets you hypotheses.

If accepting the idea that a 90% population reduction was a pivotal factor in the balance of New/Old World power is simply an "unprovable hypothesis", then sociology might as well be ignored.

Maybe instead of latching onto the fact that I used words that are unpleasantly unscientific and pretending that my statement is bunk, you should actually examine the claim that I was making out to be "blatantly obvious". Because it is. Semantics will not change that. Getting high and mighty about what is "good science" or not regarding this claim is just nonsense objections made because you didn't like my wording.
The #1 problem is with p-values is the word "significant". We should use "detectable" instead. Significant implies meaningful to most people, but not in a statistical context. This is quite confusing. Detectable is better because the mainstream meaning aligns with the jargon.

So:

> "Discovering statistically significant biclusters in gene expression data"

becomes:

> "Discovering statistically detectable biclusters in gene expression data"

This rephrasing makes it evident that "statistically detectable" adds little to the title. So the title becomes

> "Discovering biclusters in gene expression data"

A better title.
Probably not without some sort of memory enhancement. I'm not sure if that would even be preferable, maybe it would be better to let the past fade out.
College is impossible to pay for without taking on significant amounts of student loans, or having wealthy parents to pay for it. This is not conjecture, this isn't opinion. This is a fact at this point. The average cost of college has far outstripped the pace of wages, inflation, and just about every other metric we use to measure economic growth. It's simply not doable anymore in most cases. Are their exceptions? Sure. But those cases don't account for the median experience of people.

Yes, I found the UX aspect here interesting as it twisted my brain a bit too. A current example of this is the Brexit referendum, where the question was initially posed as a Yes or No, but required revision to a "Remain" or "Leave", which is much easier for casual observers to grok and lets people get behind their favourite actual position instead of embracing an arbitrary Boolean value (as happened with the Scottish referendum's Yes and No camps).

Also, Prime itself is a tricky term for a Yes-No question as it's really a negative concept - the absence of something. So asking if X is prime is requiring double-negative logic in the same way as an app setting like "Disable X feature [On / Off]".
The continous market delivers continues information which can then be used by HFT companies to take advantage of doing something humans can't. buy and sell in milliseconds.

What evidence do you have that people are refusing to work for this income?
In December 1975 the Case-Shiller US National Home Price Index was at 26.45. In December 2015 it was at 175.65. Case-Shiller prices are nominal. So nominally, home prices have risen 564% in 40 years. (http://us.spindices.com/indices/real-estate/sp-case-shiller-...)

In 1974, median real household income for those aged 25-34 was about $54,000 per year. In 2014, it was roughly the same. (http://www.advisorperspectives.com/dshort/updates/Household-...)

Using a BLS inflation calculator, we can calculate the 1974 nominal median income for those aged 25-34 as $11,245. (http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm)

As a sanity check, I checked the Census for the median household income in 1974 and it was $12,840, which makes sense. (http://www2.census.gov/prod2/popscan/p60-101.pdf)

So in 1975, the Case-Shiller index to young household median nominal income ratio was 0.00235. In 2015, it was 0.00325. This means that in 40 years, the amount of money young households must pay for buying a house has risen by 38%.

I think basic income would be a great idea. There's plenty of other things which I think need to come first. I'd hate for 'basic income' to become the new welfare, and for it to basically subsidize corporations who pay the lower classes minimum wage or less.

There's so many structural issues which serve to increase inequality right now...
The reason slavery goes on there is armed thugs from neighbouring counties (Rwanda and Zaire) have invaded and are forcing the locals to hand over the ore which is not a good thing.

I disagree with you, there.

The reason slavery goes on there is because we choose to permit it. It may be a passive choice, rooted in (willful) ignorance for some, or a sense of powerlessness ("I can't help those people, what do my own decisions matter?") for others. But if we really wanted to, we could just stop buying (at least discretionary) products which, by this point, everyone knows to be sourced from conflict zones, and human suffering that are inseparable from them.
It bothers me more that they all tend to be reskins of conventional imperative languages. It’s fun when it’s a joke, but a lot of non-joke languages are built the same way. We don’t need new syntax for the same semantics—we need new semantics.

>The doctor had no idea and she was willing to try anything to feel better, but SSRI's never really helped.

I just found out last year that i have a MTHFR mutation myself and this pretty much sums up my life up until then. Doctors, psychs had no idea and I tried so many pharmaceutical combinations.

I also had an underlying thyroid issue. I do wish testing for MTHFR gene defects and looking at thyroid performance were more common steps to take before psychiatric medications are prescribed.
There are at least two reasons that cancer prefer energy from fermenting glucose and using glutamine. First, both molecules provide readily available energy that is easy to import quickly. Second, fermentation avoids using the mitochondria, which, in addition to being the cell's powerhouse, is also its executioner by way of apoptosis.

Steph Curry's 2015-16 shot chart is the epitome of sports data analysts insistence over the past few years that three pointers are far more efficient shots than most two point shots. Almost all of Steph's shots this year are either at the basket or behind the three point line.

I guess it just took a generational player, who could shoot not only extremely accurate from distance, but can also fire of a shot quickly as well as create his own space for shots, to fully exploit the extremes of that data.

Now you're attempting to argue from authority, and it reads like trying to shutter disagreement by implying I'm not contributing to the discussion in your closing graf. That's fairly insulting, friend. Kudos on you for sharing some code you're proud of, but others have also provided the same kinds of critique I would to some of the suggestions you've offered in this thread. And these jewels you speak of don't strike me as such. Design is inherently subjective. There's also a dizzying amount of subjectivity inherent in many people's "proven" technical solutions.
Hello! I'm the Homebrew maintainer and GitHub employee who wrote this. The main thing this API does for Homebrew is make no-ops really fast for `brew update`. As you point out this results in no speedup (in fact a tiny slowdown) for the case where you only run it where you know you have changes. Where it becomes useful is if you are using multiple taps (Homebrew's 3rd-party repositories) which update infrequently or if you want to run `brew update` automatically in e.g. a project bootstrap script that's run frequently.

In the medium to long-term I'd like to consider Homebrew running `brew update` automatically before you `brew install` (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/38818). For us to ever be able to do that `brew update`'s no-op case needs to be extremely fast.
The Congo probably has the most depressing history of any country on earth. First their was the horrific Belgian colonization. Then, more recently, the Congo war in the late 90s was the most violent conflict since World War II with an estimated 2.7 Million to 5.4 Million dead [1] and hardly anybody knows about it. It's even referred to as Africa's World War. There was one documentary about it: Kisangani Diary[2]. It's about the bleakest film I've ever seen.

The war came about after the dictator Mobutu died and the chaos and aftermath of the Rwanda genocide spilled over the border. All the surrounding countries saw enormous natural resource wealth to be claimed and started funding and equipping their own proxy militias to seize power. The whole thing was a huge chaotic mess that destroyed what little infrastructure there was in the country.

Thats not what I am saying either or at least not what I meant to say.

What I was trying to say was that humans simply can't do HFT and that the advantage of that is only possible if you have millisecond updates. If you remove that then you remove the advantages of HFT and humans would be able to compete.

Whether that is good or bad for the market is another discussion.

HFT is a tax on the markets (and by extension society).
> Mind share and Market share are the justifications.

Rather herding their market share and mind share, and making it hard to go outside the herd. I.e. if you want to be cross platform - pay the tax. That's the whole purpose of their lock-in.

> Once you have a developer comfortable with a platform, it can be hard to impossible to get them to switch.

Yes, and it's disgusting to use development tools for lock-in. MS do it like forever.[1]

> These are businesses with an interest in making money

Lock-in is a crooked method of making money.

Another tip which I give: Interviewers vary widely in how much they care about whether your syntax is accurate, whether you handle invalid inputs, and whether you write unit tests. It's really useful to ask the interviewer whether they want you to worry about those things.

If you handle invalid inputs for an interviewer who doesn't care about that, they're going to be a little annoyed by you going more slowly than needed. If you don't handle invalid inputs for an interviewer who does care, then they'll think you're careless.

"Free range" isn't the label used in the example you replied to, but "from caged hens".

The problem isn't trying to define meaningful labels, but to record the most salient facts. For starters: record and disseminate the human hours exerted and wage paid for each manufactured item.

Consumers may then dynamically choose based on their current preferences. I don't think it's an ideal system, but it would be a significant improvement over the current situation.
Ah, the lock is not something that check the license and tells "oh no you're not allowed". It's a combination of not having something, and complexity to add it. Sometimes, that's because you need something tricky. Sometimes, that's because the project lacks any documentation, is written in a pretty low-level (verbose) language that obscures the high-level picture, and it's hard to figure out how it works. Sometimes, that's because FLOSS != KISS, and there is a lot of FLOSS software that has its own unique proprietary protocols and data formats, and does things in a manner that's completely incompatible and non-interoperable with any other system. I have no clue about MySQL or PostgreSQL internals (actually, I heard a word they're good in this regard), but is the case for various FLOSS projects - I've dug into some and cursed their developers.

If you overcame that and made a patch, but it's not accepted by the upstream - there are maintenance costs. How long would you be able to maintain your own fork of a large software project, keeping up with the upstream? I've tried with a few small ones (say, at a small ISP company, I just needed some custom pppd patches for in-house billing logic), and found it to be not a pleasant experience. I believe it's not just because I'm a lazy ass - I saw tons of forks on GitHub that were slowly rotting away, maintained for some time but eventually forsaken by their authors and far behind their upstreams.

I don't claim much knowledge of the area, but I'm confused that you're saying Zaire borders Congo, when in fact Zaire became the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1997.
Dynamic libraries don't help shared dependencies, do they? In both cases, you want the shared dependency to be in its own library. There is a difference in that duplicated dependencies in shared libraries will produce a subtle runtime error rather than an obvious build-time error, but that's not really better.

Again, you're spouting Civics 101 answers here. I'm familiar with how the US justice system operates. The question isn't looking for that. The FDA obviously won't have an FDA Judge send people to FDA Jail after they've been arrested by the FDA Police. Literally nobody here thinks that.

But they do initiate investigations, and it is a crime to defraud or attempt to defraud the FDA. And if the FDA so chooses, they can forward their information to Justice and participate in the proceedings against the accused. They could provide the evidence of wrongdoing and increase the political pressure to act. They can do a lot to ensure that the state determines it has sufficient reason.
In this case it's actually more that there's a Homebrew maintainer who works for GitHub (me) who has been working on a bunch of improvements to Homebrew's update system (in my spare time). The desire for the API came from Homebrew's side rather than GitHub's and, as it reduces load for GitHub, it was a net win for both parties.
I'd be happy with a Copy As Markdown function, or something like that. I don't really mind the rich text, since it's simpler to look at than multiple panes, but the end result of something like a draft blog post will end up as markdown for me. Having the markup converted would be nice.
