Nitpick: What doesn't make sense is 'compiled language'. The term is non-sensical. Languages are not interpreted or compiled, implementations are (sometimes both like cpython). As a counter example, cl-javascript[0] compiles javascript to common Lisp

Ah, I didn't realize you were making full use of roff. I don't think mandoc (mdocml) supports that; you're correct in saying that it's a canned version of man/mdoc.

It has served me well, though :)
The low probability of an incident is outweighed by the potential damage caused by an incident (large loss of life).

The Changing Value of ARR
Curious to see no mention (in the paper or comments here) of previous neuro-imaging experiments that showed that brain networks associated with empathy and those associated with logical thought are antagonists, and it does not appear to be possible to have both active at the same time:

http://blog.case.edu/think/2012/10/30/empathy_represses_anal...

There's a long pop-science suspicion of this, dating back to Jungian psychology (where Thinking vs. Feeling was considered a primitive dichotomy). It's enshrined in many of our stereotypes about socially awkward nerds, and also in the structure of the tech industry (which has separate departments for sales vs. engineering, and common wisdom that you need a hustler & a hacker for startups).

This seems much more likely, as an explanation, than ideas that poor math performance may be transmitted socially, although of course it'd need to be rigorously tested in an experiment to be proven.
Apple just filed its final response before it meets the FBI in court
>A deeply empathic person can calculate, and more generally think and intuit, better than an emotionally detached person as long as they can emotionally connect with the task being given to them.

Do you have good numbers to back that up?
This is always a deal breaker for thorough code reviews - it's always super hard to make sure that everything got resolved in a later commit. The only tool I've seen handle this well is SmartBear's Code Collaborator - you mark certain comments as defects, it does a decent job keeping them aligned with their context as revisions happen afterwards, and then you can close them out before marking the review LGTM. Unfortunately, Code Collaborator is horrible at basically everything else. It would be nice to have an easy-to-use todo list that's easy to close out and not lose context.
nice! it would be really cool if I could not only save the url, but the content of the page as well. I say that because I've saved many sites to disk because links break and mirroring those between machines is annoying.
Yeah it was a pretty big stretch.
What about something like markdown plus some syntax for formulas? You can compile the markdown (via a detour to LaTeX perhaps) to something that looks nice.
Some days of work vs. Jenkins CI
And claiming you must stub it out now because it might be needed later is straight up pulling it out of your ass guessing. Beyond that, I was very clear, if the cost of change is more later, you're doing something terribly wrong and trying to cover it up by stubbing out features before they're needed to avoid the real problem that you write code badly in a way that makes stubbing out stuff ahead of time necessary.

It's new code, so you can absolutely write it without extra scaffolding for "shit you might need later". If you don't need it now, you don't need it yet.
What you call publicity is the primary purpose of churches. I consider that a purpose not an advertisement. I don't take the megachurches as a representative percentage of the church going community. Funding an actual church facility is just as valid as any other charity giving and benefits a neighborhood. Calling that administration is insulting.

> I'm not familiar with the monitoring of 501(c)3 groups, but I suspect if charities were to regularly spend only one per cent of their givings on what they got to enjoy tax exemption to do, they'd likely have such a status revoked.

Well, no. You can scam 9/11 money and get away with it (e.g. Red Cross & United Way).

Also, all that giving on secular charities part does go to someones salaries and administration and supplies and stipends. Giving to A pays for group B. The grants we've received went to salaries and administration but are listed as giving.
Commercial air travel is also incredibly safe--due in part to said conservatism.

If I'm reading this correctly, calculation skills are what suffer with increased empathizing, rather than ability to solve applied math problems. Is that right? Are there examples of what constitutes calculation vs. applied problem solving for the purposes of this study?

CRISPR Critters: Regulators and the New Gene Revolution in Agriculture
This looks cool, very fast search and I like the idea of referencing names (presumably through name-checking of episode summaries?). I worked on a side project a few months ago[1] as I just wanted my own personal webplayer. It's OK, but has the limitation that it only works with podcasts that have discoverable RSS feeds; many are behind the walled gardens of iTunes or Soundcloud or other proprietary platforms unfortunately. As it's really to scratch an itch for my own needs it doesn't do ratings/comments/recommendations which would be on my todo list for a more complete app. Are you planning on adding these features in the near future?

Well it's in Amazon's best interest to get people to use and migrate to their infrastructure at the end of the day, so it's no surprise that a service that helps you move to AWS is competitively priced.
Apple: 'Founders would be appalled'
Sigh. We used to make a really good tool, but it was all proprietary. It supported up to 20 participants with full-duplex audio and multiple doc sharing. But it was part of a full product for collaborative teams, and we couldn't figure out the sales process fast enough.

It scaled well - hundreds of different conference participants per server node; media nodes that supported hundreds of simultaneous streams. Stream switching was on the order of scores of milliseconds (not seconds like all the webrtc stuff).
I like that this has topo maps. I'll have a look at it for that alone.

Also worth trying "Here" Maps for pre-download mapping. This is the old Nokia maps, now Microsoft. Its surprisingly good. I use it as my go-to for driving as the spoken directions seem to time better plus the interface is much cleaner and easy to read at a glance. Also they include speed limits + your GPS speed which are both useful. I still prefer Google Maps for looking up a business as they have better information.
I think this wouldn't actually be terribly difficult if a company hired Morgan Freeman for a few hours of studio time, similar to how you can get Mr. T directions on TomTom. There aren't terribly many phrases or ingredients used in most recipes, so the total set of required recordings in manageably small.
In this case, “empathy quotient” = how the parent answers the following questionnaire:

• My child likes to look after other people.
• My child often doesn’t understand why some things upset other people so much.
• My child would not cry or get upset if a character in a film died.
• My child is quick to notice when people are joking.
• My child enjoys cutting up worms, or pulling the legs off insects.
• My child has stolen something they wanted from their sibling or friend.
• My child has trouble forming friendships.
• When playing with other children, my child spontaneously takes turns and shares toys.
• My child can be blunt giving their opinions, even when these may upset someone.
• My child would enjoy looking after a pet.
• My child is often rude or impolite without realising it.
• My child has been in trouble for physical bullying.
• At school, when my child understands something they can easily explain it clearly to others.
• My child has one or two close friends, as well as several other friends.
• My child listens to others’ opinions, even when different from their own.
• My child shows concern when others are upset.
• My child can seem so preoccupied with their own thoughts that they don’t notice others getting bored.
• My child blames other children for things that they themselves have done.
• My child gets very upset if they see an animal in pain.
• My child sometimes pushes or pinches someone if they are annoying them.
• My child can easily tell when another person wants to enter into conversation with them.
• My child is good at negotiating for what they want.
• My child would worry about how another child would feel if they weren’t invited to a party.
• My child gets upset at seeing others crying or in pain.
• My child likes to help new children integrate in class.
• My child has been in trouble for name-calling or teasing.
• My child tends to resort to physical aggression to get what they want.

(For each question, answer is a choice among “strongly agree”, “slightly agree”, “slightly disagree”, and “strongly disagree”. In each case, the “more empathetic” side of the answers is scored either 1 for the “slightly” answer or 2 for the “strongly” answer, whereas both answers on the “less empathetic” side are scored zero. Overall EQ score is the sum of those.)

Honest Dollar to Be Acquired by Goldman Sachs
Off-topic, but you seem well positioned to answer: Why do you say "TL:DR" here when summarizing a short blog post that you enjoyed? Clearly the meaning has diverged from the original abbreviated insult of "Too long; didn't read", but I don't understand what people mean when they use it today. Why did you phrase it this way? Are you a native English speaker? If not intended to be derogatory, does the dissonance bother you?
It may not be "the solution", but no one in Deep Mind said it was. It doesn't particularly matter how journalists spin this stuff, as they clearly don't understand it anyway.

By the way, if Monte Carlo search worked, then we would have seen MC beating 9-dan pro's long ago, which clearly didn't happen, so the author's definition of "effective" lacks pragmatic insight - the real limiting factor in this sort of evaluative judgment.

The author doesn't seem to have watched any of the matches of AlphaGo vs Lee Sedol, though, as much of the pre-game and post-game discussion brings to light some important details surrounding specific implementation features in AlphaGo by Deep Mind. Glossing over that makes this article remarkably uncritical and uninformative.

Edit: it's one thing to combat hype, but representing the facts as they are in contradistinction to that hype is another matter entirely. Anti-hype is perhaps more pernicious in bringing about an "AI Winter" than is drumming up interest in what AI, or more accurately AGI, will be capable of in the not-too-distant future. And given current developments, I think the only AI Winter we have to fear is the one where uninformed persons accost us with misguided fears about AI and what its capabilities will be.

Yeah, that would suck.
I am not sure why you think It is unexpected behavior. And even if it is, it is not even in the same league as the quirks of Php. It would be if 3/2 outputs 1 but 7/2 outputs 3.5, both in Python 2. Then that would be unexpected behavior in the same league as that of Php's.

> it won't happen overnight but the trend is there, strong and growing.

It is just appearance. Just movement, not progress. I just provided you with an example on how new features added follows the same incompetent design, consistant with Php's track record.

>No such thing as a perfect programming language since everyone has a different definition of perfect.

Yea, there is no perfect one, But there is something that is too bad that should not be used. Php is that. It is not going to change.

With a 36-million installed base with compatible hardware, ~$150 lower starting cost (including PS4 camera), and the ability for people without a headset to play on the main screen in the livingroom, it looks like Sony might clean up on the first generation of consumer VR.
To be fair, younger workers will usually have less of a professional network; older workers will usually have more of a network, and are more likely to have open source code that's reviewable.

It's all just ways to filter. If I can filter you through our mutual network, I'll do that - if I can't, open source code; if I can't, coding test.
You could for all practical purposes. The Halting problem only generally applies when you're considering all possible programs, but you really only need consider the well-written ones, because then you can filter out the poorly written ones.

There are three kinds of lies. There are also three kinds of comments I see in this thread:

> "The entire concept and discipline of statistics is bullshit."

Par for the course here at Hacker News.
The question was really about electronic devices during takeoff and landing. They were very conservative, though I can't really fault them for it--however annoying it was to both passengers and flight crews. But given the number of electronic devices--including phones--that you know weren't actually turned off or put into airplane mode, it became pretty obvious that there wasn't a systematic problem with having devices on.
Latex is a terrible format that most biologists will never learn. HTML is the one uber-standard, it was actually created for that.
Simpson's Paradox frequently arises because of cherry picking though. Marrs is specifically looking at an upwards slope over 3-4 data points after 1998. Whereas the overall slope of the chart from 1996-2009 is downwards. Clearly falling foul of the paradox. Not to mention, as has been repeatedly stated in this thread - that peak around 02/03 was solely due to the 172 Harold Shipman serial killings being added to the statistics in that year only. And they weren't even anything to do with gun crime...

As for Ireland and Jamaica, the increase in homicides are very explainable given the Troubles and rise of Carribean drug trafficking in the 70s.

Ask HN: traditional PPO or HDHP PPO medical plan?
I received a new offer and I am in the process of selecting health benefit. What a boring and sophisticated process.

I like the benefit of HSA in HDHP PPO, but the high deductible is kind of a bit bummer.

I am single, and I am pretty healthy. I plan to have semi-annual body checkup and getting flue shot every year. For a $1,500 deductible, is HDHP PPO a good plan? How did you decide?

Also, are there companies out there use a single insurance provider to cover medical, dental, vision and life insurance for their employees? I am surprised that these days they split into multiple providers (I heard that's for cost saving, but it's quite a headache). I also wonder if there are companies provide full care and employees simply don't pay anything.
tl;dr stated off as a way of saying "this is too long and therefore requires too much effort for me to read it." Then that gave rise to people accompanying long reads with a "tl;dr version," which is usually a one or two sentence summary. Now that the latter is common and understood people just write tl;dr and then follow it with the summary, with the understanding that those who are unwilling to read the full version will read that instead.
should we write {0x68, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f} instead of "hello"?

joke aside, I think JSX does a great job to reduce the cognitive load, bridging codes as representation and its result.
Alas, it's not even clear that stereotype threat even exists.
I'd love to say "don't worry, you'll get a chance to prove yourself", but I can verify the instant rejection.

Sample size of one, but I dropped out of a top public school, immediately started working full-time x 1.5, and ended up with a resume that my now-graduating colleagues are blown away by. A few top companies (Google and Yelp! included) have flat out refused to screen me based on no other conversation than "Oh, I never finished school because _____". Hell, I interned for a large bank and received a great job offer which was promptly rescinded after the right manager found out what everybody else already knew.

It's one thing if I fail the interview process. I get that. I know I have a lot to learn. But the way some of these companies act is just messed up. FWIW, none of my independent clients care.
So it's basically a waste of everyone's time?

> I know it's always a matter of luck

Think of luck in terms of a surface area. Sure it exists but you can increase or reduce the size of that surface area with what you do. Dont let the thought of 'its just luck' dis-empower you.

More generally, why do you expect reviews when you say there are many similar apps? Does anything of importance stands out in your app vs competitors? The reviewers get bombarded all the time. Have you focused on getting the user experience to the point people promote the app for you. I'd say this is the focus and once this is happening to some limited extent then push the marketing once you have traction.

Also there is always pay to play. You could advertise to boost user number to get more feedback on the product and gain traction if the UX is a promo-table one.
Home teams have an advantage in most sports, and crowd noise is a factor. More relevant to your point though: encouragement and moral support are important to many OSS projects, where burnout is a particular risk. Maybe not applicable to github per se? /random thoughts

Heck, let's say they weren't laid off. They all moved onto greener pastures in the 15 years since the project was done. And the whole app is written in Perl, since that was in fashion at the time.

I'm not saying that this is a good thing; it's categorically holding us back. But it's how it is, and it's totally a people problem. Browser developers don't want to break existing code, and, because of that, organizations don't realize that their code is broken.
Thanks for replying. You make a good point.

I'm referring more to when the Sun explodes and wipes out Earth or when universe goes cold, becomes inhabited by black holes, which will also be gone - a dead universe.
This is false.

Your only objective should be to get your app in front of people who want to use it.

Identify target demographics and hunt them down. If HN, TechCrunch, and other bullshit tech blogs are not your target audience, then don't waste your time!!! Get users through creative channels. Focus on users who actually want to use your app. Build a following, make them happy. THEN you can worry about tech press (which is a waste of time 99% of the time unless you're about to raise a round or are building a product for developers).
Thanks for the link (I love gwern). Terrorist organizations are always evolving though. For example, the ongoing PR campaign by ISIS. The PR is creating terrorists but there is never a singular attack. I would say the PR campaign is successful, but many people are unaware of it, compared to 9/11.

My point is, terrorism is not exclusively a single, concentrated moment of terror. Some terrorist plots are more subtle and long-term.
But a fix should come via the normal update channel soon? I'm on wily, should I expect to add this PPA or risk vulnerability?
HA! Not to mention unflattering comments in LaTeX or BibTeX files. You thought source code had expletives... yeah.
My guess is the switch from zero management to a more top down approach made the top realize nothing was moving forwards. GitHub had been stagnating for a while until then. But I could easily be wrong.
And then wait 22 years.
You can do ifs at the type level in Scala, using dependent types. The difference is that Scala draws a clear distinction between the value level and the type level. This was, after all, the original point of types (in the typed lambda calculus sense).
