Of course you could go on and on. But you'd be saying the same useless "wake up sheeple" non-answer that has been the rallying cry of useless people since forever. Or maybe just stop picking attractive cherries for yourself and start learning about how actually reliable and consistent data works.

I don't have a problem with hippies or drugs. I have a problem with the irrational, baseless worship of hippies and drugs.
Somewhere here on HN I read that fingerprints are not passwords but user ids.

So your fingerprint authenticates you to provide your password.

Right now implementations are for fingerprints as passwords.

The article also explained why toilet paper was chosen. It's something people stock up on when they can, but having a stock pile doesn't change usage habits. It turns out to be a good product for investigating what the article is interested in.
This is why immigrants with strong community support rapidly get out of poverty while the exact same people (ie. same skill, environment, ability) without a strong community don't.

With community support you can pool your money, then split the goods and the savings.

But you have to be able to implicitly trust your community.

Do your friends have other friends in similar situations? Do they trust them enough to make pooled purchases?

(Also, you start with pooled purchases simply to help your community. Eventually that transitions into making a bit extra, and before you know it you opened a store. If you are a good person, then you continue to quietly help people in your community with discounts or credit.)
Never understood early start times, unless your in farming.

Getting to school is very difficult for some people, especially if they come from a poor family. In high school, just getting there was such a hassle. I took three different busses. I remember getting up a 5 a.m. to get to there. And my student advisor(the principal) told me I needed to work on my attitude.

To take it further, never understood the reason to be at pretty much any job before 10 a.m.

Construction is notorious for early hours. Pretty much nothing gets done before that first coffee break.
No, I run 5k every day, either on the road or the treadmill, but not necessarily in a race. I have been running a 5k race almost every weekend for the last five months. I live in Orlando, Florida. We'll have plenty of races to choose from every weekend until the summer.
Yeah, some of that stuff just doesn't seem realistic. Look at some of the languages that are ahead of Scala for example, and note that Clojure isn't even in the top 50 right now. That seems like a real stretch to me.

I mean, you have D WAY ahead of Clojure? Seriously? Not to knock D, or @walterbright, but does anybody buy that D has significantly more industry adoption than Clojure does?

Hey, maybe I'm wrong, or maybe it is the "HN effect", but that's why I say that I consider the Tiobe Index "suspect". For the top 10 or so, it's probably a decent approximation, but beyond that I think it's highly, highly questionable.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it.

I think Python 4 is a good name because most Python users feel that Python 3 was a misstep, and never plan to move to Python 3.
No, she did not say that. Otherwise why would the timing of the sale (start of month vs end) make any difference?
Those are all helpful and reassuring things to know. Thanks for answering some of the critiques!

One more question- how's the climate? Montreal is north of Chicago and New York, after all...

It's unfortunate that so much emphasis has been placed on biometrics (especially fingerprints) as a security measure, more so because of their convenience which lulls users into a false sense of security.

Not only can biometrics not be changed, unlike a password, but they cannot be withheld from a would-be accessor in the way that a password can (until mind reading becomes a thing, that is).

I don't know how true this is, but it feels like biometric authentication for consumers has sucked the oxygen out of attempts to create convenient but secure authentication that doesn't have the same flaws (I don't know what a potential system would be, but there have to be better alternatives). Lazy reliance on biometrics will, I think, make us all a lot less secure.

Open source support is not a centrally governed entity. FOSS support for Python 2.7 will continue after 2020. You will certainly still have the option of paying someone for support.

I grew up in Phoenix and loved it. I ended up moving to Utah for school and stayed there for 10 years but we finally got sick of the snow and decided it was time to move our family back. Schools and housing are great and you don't need to shovel sunshine!

Of course, I wish the tech scene was better. But I'm making an active effort to seek out the local dev meetups and contribute to the community.
Sending passcodes over the wire would be fine. That parenthetical you threw in there is the feature that actually adds security. An inability to submit passcodes over the wire adds essentially no security. It's the escalating timeout and eventual wipe that prevents brute force.

And fixing a stuck device like that could be done by just not upgrading the Secure Enclave's software during the recovery process. Restore the main OS and you're back where you were. Then you can update the SE firmware.

I'm pretty sure that if the SE doesn't wipe when updated without a passcode, it's because there's no way for it to do so. It just loads the firmware it's presented at boot, no questions asked beyond verifying the signature on that firmware.

No doubt Apple is working on improving this. You'd only need 256 bits of nonvolatile storage within the SE, and corresponding improvements to the SE's bootloader.
“Trump” was a name chosen because it refers to a card belonging to a suit of higher rank than the other suits, i.e. which beats the other suits in a card game, originally a modification of the word “Triumph”. Used more generically, to “trump” someone means to defeat them. It’s like renaming yourself “Winner”, except not quite so transparently cheesy. (Of course, Donald Trump doesn’t exactly mind being transparently cheesy. Here’s the beginning of the bio on his personal website: “Donald J. Trump is the very definition of the American success story,...”)

Using his family’s original name instead isn’t inherently racist or xenophobic, but it is intended to be an underhanded attack on Trump’s ego. It certainly is petty, a schoolyard insult instead of a policy discussion. As you say, it is similar to the way prominent Republican party officials and conservative pundits sometimes talk about the “Democrat party”. A subtle little jab every time, like “I’m not going to even dignify you enough to say your name correctly.”

Overall, I’d recommend against stooping to that level. Trump is the master of childish slap-fights and dick measuring contests. To quote George Bernard Shaw, “I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.”
That's something I should probably try. I've been trying to eat smaller portions on the days I have multiple meals. That's actually difficult for me. One of the advantages of IF is that it allows one to worry less about portion size.
I've been really interested in Chattanooga ever since they installed citywide fiber and announced their tech incubator. One of the lowest costs of living and great outdoor activities. Just not too sure about the cultural infrastructure. Looking forward to visiting soon. I'm kinda obsessed with the idea of incubating a remote company in another city and then moving/expanding back to the Bay.
Yes. That. Some comments here https://www.quora.com/Is-the-paper-about-373K-superconductor...
It's hard to see the difference between selfish behavior and short-sighted behavior because they're often confounded. What I got from this is that Alloy will consider the deep vs shallow deep copying Git issue, but wants to continue using Git and GitHub as a CDN for a massive user base, and doesn't want to re-architect because developers are expensive and time is limited.

The Git deep v. shallow issue just puts a band-aid on the CPU problem, but it doesn't do anything about the terabytes of bandwidth per week (it'll be worse), and it won't do anything about GitHub's claim that Git is not meant to be used as a CDN and doesn't scale well.

They've become a big project that warrants thinking about revenue or organization strategy, but they're delaying it by externalizing their costs. Cases like these can pressure GitHub into rethinking the leniency of their policies.

I also think that if you're in the top-5 resource consuming group, more sympathy would go your direction if you were a paying customer, but they've indicated no interest.

My solution has always been pretty simple -- I do poorly in exam interviews, and usually I don't get the job. Regurgitating Algorithms 301 -- nope, not for me. They'll end up with someone who's great at regurgitating. They're happy and I'm happy.

I can explain very clearly how I would go about solving a problem, maybe whiteboard it, flesh out a design, ask them some key questions to show I'm a thinker and not just a follower. That kind of interview usually goes well for me.

As a result, I usually end up with jobs where I have a lot of creative latitude, where I can think up new product ideas and prototype them out, where I can solve problems my own way.

I wish I could pass those Google tests, though. It would be nice to have it all. But some of us just have limitations, I guess. Luckily, it hasn't held me back from having an enjoyable and relatively well compensated career.

Probably today the thing is to have a couple of apps on the Android or Apple appstore, a Github page with some interesting toys and experiments, some open source contributions, and of course the old-fashioned networking that is how many of us still get our best jobs and most successful business relationships.
Game needs a control panel where you can customize it.

#1 Direct programming JavScript in a browser is dead because you can now use ES2015 which is a much better language and for Python programmers will feel quite familiar in some ways. ES2015 is compiled to ES5 by a compiler such as Babel and works cross browser.

#3 Sorry I know only about writing for node.js electron and web browsers, not browser extensions.

#5 Well if you want to write any significant amount of JavaScript you'll need all the help you can get debugging. So it is absolutely worth investing time in learning as much as you can about the Chrome debugger because it is very powerful and will save you alot of time and grief. In particular, you should learn how to blackbox a script (it's easy to do and effectively allows you to step through only your code and not that of the various libraries that your code is calling) and you should learn how to set breakpoints and examine the variables that are in scope at your breakpoint. You should definitely learn how to examine the stack trace to know where the error originated from. Debugging is hard but worth the effort to learn. I would start by watching three of four 30 minute to one hours videos on youtube that teach Chrome developer tools.

#6 npm allows you to include various libraries in your code and it's not restricted to node.js - you can include them in your browser apps too.

ReactJS - hard to wrap your hear aruond but worth the effort - it's a beautiful model for building components that you tie together into web apps.

AngularJS - analagous to ReactJS in that it is a framework for building applications but takes quite a different approach. I dont know much about it but it's not my cup of tea. I need simple, and after you've learned the concepts reactjs is simple, whereas my understanding is that AngularJS is not simple.

node.js is for building server applications like web servers.

electron is for running web applications as desktop applications.

Finally, absolutely do not do any programming in JavaScript without a first class IDE.
There's a behavioural difference here. If I don't see someone speak on a TV channel, then I don't assume they don't exist / aren't important. If I search for someone via Google / other search engine, and they don't come up, or their opponents come up far higher in the rankings than they do, then I imagine (without having done any proper studies on this) that it will influence my opinion of them more.

I also don't buy the argument that Google having huge powers of, effectively, no-platforming is any less terrifying because TV channels have had it for a long time. This is just as bad!
And this is my primary problem with Formula 1. Any time anyone actually innovates, it's banned in short order. The whole thing is about dealing with the arbitrary restrictions imposed rather than about making the best possible vehicle.
I generally agree with what has been said. Except for the car part. I thought it was best to drive a car to the ground. I buy reasonably priced sedans for around 20K (but brand new). Full coverage car warranties seem to end after 3 years. I sold my last car at that point (it had started to give me headaches). I got about half the money back .. so 10K loss or 3333 per year. Our current car is also at 3 years and starting to act up. I'm deciding whether to buy a new one (and take a 10K loss) or keep going for 2 years.

Or is my mistake not buying the 50K BMW or 100K Tesla? :-p
No. This article is clickbait. Chinese hackers might have your fingerprint if you worked for the US government. But they don't have your phone. If you're a high value spy or something where the Chinese government is going to target you, steal your phone and match it with the fingerprint database you might be in trouble. Otherwise, the fingerprint+pin is still going to work great at keeping your significant other from seeing your flirty texts and your porn browsing history, or whatever.

For anyone who happens to actually be doing this or something like this, that is keeping back wages to enforce slavery, its worth noting that the rust of your wealth will burn like fire against you. Torture and torment await you without repentance and turning to Jesus Christ. For everyone pleading the cause of the poor and needy: God delights in you're doing that - expect reward.
With the current curriculum of elementary schools, it seems to be the course of action that makes sense - since I strongly doubt that the Common Core will add the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to the Grade 6 curriculum...
None of these college friends have any access to credit at all? I find that very hard to believe. How are they paying for college?
Yeah, good find.

I saw that earlier too, and forgot about it. So the question is less about whether its even possible, but whether or not it was likely in Ryder Hesjedal's circumstance. And the stakes, circumstances, etc aren't exceptional enough to warrant a commission.
Why would they care how many parents you have?
This also plays out with many mutual funds: below a certain volume of money, fees are everywhere, the more you have, the fewer the fees are.

This is categorically untrue. The BSC receives large subsidies from Cal in different forms. To my knowledge the main form is through Cloyne Court, which is owned by the university and leased back to the BSC for a dollar a year (seriously). Meanwhile, the university still pays things like property tax, insurance, and some other expenses on the building.

Because of this sweetheart deal, Cloyne is a huge profit center for the BSC and the funds are used subsidize unprofitable houses (mostly all the smaller ones). CZ runs a small profit, but no where near as big as Cloyne. If the BSC lost Cloyne, the entire BSC would either fold, or have to raise prices so dramatically it would eventually fold. They would definitely close all smaller houses like Davis, et al. Also the land for Rochdale village was a subsidized deal as well, which helps those stay profitable.

But my point is that the success of the BSC is due to "venture capital" in the form of students "investing" in their education. And the fact that undergrad and grads at Cal for the most part are very like minded and in similar "stages" in their life which makes co-habitation relatively easy. Which is why I say that when you look a few levels deeper, the BSC not a replicable model outside of academia.

However, I agree with you that the BSC is fucking awesome for all the reasons that you stated.
Right, so Hyper would be faster if it used true asynchronous I/O, right? That was my whole point. I just brought up Go so I had something to compare it to.
Also, on this note, we're in a similar situation. We have ~250 people in our Slack, but would only want this for 3-4 of them (the full time staff).

It's certainly how healthcare economics works. It determines what, if any tests should be run. It also determines how many parties/independent reviews should take place for high stakes tests such as tumor identification in carcinoma.

Other high-stakes scenarios in which the same tests are run multiple times are for high-economic cost events such as drug abuse, either in the workplace, or in sports.

You even note in your response, that, In real medical practice if a physician sees a lab result that is way out of range, or significantly different from the patient's previous result, or inconsistent with other aspects of the patient's condition, then she will order a repeat of the same test in order to confirm the results. - which is exactly what I'm suggesting people have done - only with a (presumably acceptable) time delay between when the first, and later tests are required. If the results of such tests were that clinical activity had to take place quickly, then you might not have the luxury of a delay, and in which case, multiple independent test vectors would be very useful - if they were economically feasible.

What people sometimes fail to consider - if the test was worth doing once - at, say, $600 - then why wouldn't it be worth doing (at presumably much higher confidence), three times at $100? And, if people agree, "OK, for $600 and $100 that makes sense" - they have to understand, those two numbers are completely arbitrary, and can only be understood in relationship to the value of the results. Whose to say there aren't a ton of tests today that are "$100" - that couldn't be done multiple times to be certain.
Get Rich, Live Longer: The Ultimate Consequence of Income Inequality
I was hoping from a response from the poster that said he worked with the program for the last 6 months.

* The question about sharing wasn't really directed at how to share, but if he used this program to share with other users. So rather than it being a group of one, there were others passing data around.

* "Go to Tool" is along the line of my tool chest has all of these tools, and I pull out what the best one is. Since this is a multi purpose tool it get's pulled out more often, it becomes your "go to tool". Like people's leathermen tools become their "go to tool" for everything but fine dining.

The first may answer the need to be able to import in and out. If the group is using it, then less data transformations are needed.

The go to answers how useful it really is. In it all day doing things is a bonus, only using it for mind mapping not as helpful.

Thanks!
What do techies do in Utah for after-work social gatherings, Mormon Bridge? I should know since I come from Utah valley myself, but I got out to Seattle as soon as I could and there weren't many peers into programming for a living while I was in school there. I don't drink but my current company has a huge alcohol culture, kegs-in-the-office, weekly-happy-hours sort of thing, and as far as I can tell this is pretty normal everywhere in San Francisco and Seattle (such that I'm not even sure if we're that extreme). I enjoy sit-down dinners with coworkers but if I were back in Utah I have a feeling that heading up the canyon and cooking some meat over a fire with some light wandering wouldn't be out of the question...

A lot of those changes come from politically motivated attempts to "fix" education and have no input from teachers and no basis in science. Common Core comes to mind.
geekbot also allows custom questions, multiple standups, and is free.
I'm confused when you say the syntactic differences between the two are slight, and then follow it up with "but all the jobs are in Python2".

If the syntax differences really are that slight, wouldn't the type of python you're fluent in not matter? Feels like you're saying something like, the differences between the two languages is like Australian versus American English, but that all the jobs are in American English?
That's yet to come to pass.
Yes they are certainly hard to cut up. My wife can't do it.

I used to have a raspberry patch - nothing nicer than wandering out on a warm morning and gorging fresh raspberries - certainly more fun than getting caught up in a bramble.
Why not? A friend of mine was employed by a Very Large Company at one point to (amongst other things) maintain their AIX port of rpm/yum.
I have long been an advocate of bashreduce.

I even worked for a company that ran a cluster of storage machines that each had tiny amounts of ram and contained enormous (many 100GB+) csv text files - this was right around the time hadoop was starting to be a thing, but the cluster was air-gapped for security and updates to external software were incredibly tedious. We'd write small 'cut | grep | sort | awk' sh commands and run them using a tiny perl script called 'prsh' - parallel rsh - to aggregate the results.

This exact example was given in a Reddit post. It was sad thread since the question was to the poor of Reddit and what do they buy/how/why. One person was buying tampons for his wife out of a quarter machine. It's easy to not empathize with the poor when you can just ignore it, close yourself off in gated communities.
