Then you aren't understanding how bundling works, or NPM for that matter, and probably writing bad code.

If you have `foo` that depends on `baz 1.1` and `bar` that depends on `baz 1.2`, then the bundle will consist of `foo`, `bar`, `baz 1.1` AND `baz 1.2`. However, `foo` will not be aware of `baz 1.2`, `bar` will not be aware of `baz 1.1`. They work with their respective dependencies and all is well.

`foo` and `bar` should not even reveal implementation and should not even care of each other's implementation. What `foo` cares about is `bar`'s API, `bar` should care about is `foo`'s API, not their implementation, dependencies etc.

An analogy would be jQuery and it's dependency to Sizzle (which, coincidentally, is bundled with jQuery). Would it matter to you if jQuery 1.7 used Sizzle 1 and jQuery 1.8 used Sizzle 10? No. What matters to you is you're using jQuery, and what you see is a 0.x.x bump of jQuery, not the x.x.x bump of Sizzle.
The argument of the original post is that we shouldn't exclude Yarvin because it might make avowed racists feel unwelcome at FP conferences. To which I say: who cares? I don't want Yarvin at FP conferences, and I suspect none of the attendees particularly do either.
I don't know what you mean with is not funny, this is hilarious.
Do you have any client libraries available for different languages?

I don't want to create a direct dependency between my code and your API. I'd rather create a dependency between my code and your client library's code, as I'm sure you will always keep that up to date with any API changes.
I like this. I'm buying an xcarve [1] this summer and have a few ideas in development to build large scale items from inter-locking parts. This kind of 3d imaginative thinking will be required for the first few years of hobby CAM.

Inspiring projects like this should help bring people into the fold.

The problem is other people can (and do) put private information about you on the Internet. I am not any more comfortable with a Bing index than a Google index, Ray. Decentralized search, not controlled by a corporation, however, has very different ethics.

The problem is, that for example, right now, your employer could choose the next US President. Google Search has that power. Furthermore, Eric Schmidt is literally working for the Clinton campaign. I don't know how you could fail to see the difference between a decentralized, neutral search index (or at least one that didn't keep it's search algorithms veiled in secrecy) and your employer's completely non-transparent black box with the power to write history.

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/08/how-google-co...

Google (and Bing or any other search provider) decides through a mysterious algorithm how to rank people's lives. A faceless algorithm can determine whether someone can EVER HOLD A JOB AGAIN. Seriously? You're going to defend that? I know Googlers believe that automation is somewhere close to godliness, but the fact of the matter is, Google ruins lives. And Google doesn't even have the decency to entertain a request for redress without a government passing a law to mandate they do so.

If Google had a customer service team of people that treated people like people, maybe this sort of thing would never have become a problem. And yeah, if Microsoft or Apple had the level of sheer unchecked power coupled with inane irresponsibility that Google has, I'd be up in arms about them too.

And I still feel if you think it's wrong for people to have the right to retract their personal information from the Internet, your social security number should be on it.

They used to. Retina Macbooks? Zero upgrade path. Can't even replace the batteries in them without risking your life. And eventually Apple stop providing battery replacements, and your machine is dead.

My PC, however, has components that are oh, 10 years old? Sure, it has a 1-year old motherboard, CPU, 3 year old RAM, a 2 year old GPU, and a mix of SSDs and HDDs, but the case I bought in 2006, as with my MX518 mouse.

This kind of longevity of components is good for us. Throwing out your appliance every 5 years because Apple decided to solder RAM instead of sacrifice 1mm of thinness and provide a slot is good for Apple, and Apple alone.

Dyson do actually know a thing or two about making lightweight, high-performance electric motors plus they do actually sell product in volume.

There was uproar a few years ago when Dyson moved their manufacturing out of the UK to Malaysia. I imagine that they will use their Malaysian factories too, further down the line, should the electric car product prove to be successful.

I imagine that the styling and colours that Dyson will use for their car will be very different to anything that has gone on before, the result will not look like a 'normal' car.

Dyson also have a loyal and rich customer base, people that trust the brand and see qualities in the brand that they would want in a car, e.g. dependability, getting the job done.

The article only really cites something vague about battery R+D, that really need not imply a car. Dyson have a lot of batteries in their products and investing in that area makes sense for their product line up. Better batteries, with more power and portability, could be a major USP for them, no need for car side-project. If this were their intent, the R+D plus initial manufacturing facility would cost many millions more than this level of government grant. The sums involved in this are not huge and it could be for just 'batteries for hoovers' that they are making.

I feel offended by a lot of what he says.

He is not the first, and neither will he be the last U.S. politician (or even presidential candidate) to make me feel that way.

In any case, the answer to offensive speech is more speech that educates, not shrill denunciations of the person making that speech.

> "Good schools" mostly means "wealthy students".

Be careful there at teasing out the real motivation. If you want "wealthy students" because poor people are icky, then you're a jerk. If you want "wealthy students" because you want schools to be well-funded, that means you do in fact want good schools.

How to tell the difference? Maybe by putting the person somewhere where all schools in a very large area are funded at the exact same level. I don't know. But assuming it's a dog whistle isn't a good idea.

Looking at that supplementary Excel spreadsheet, only 42 of those essential genes are annotated as "hypothetical protein/unknown function/unclear functional category". For example, locus MMSYN1_0421 has unknown function, but belongs to the alkaline shock protein family, so we can't say we have no idea what it does.

They seem to be the only loci where we're truly in the dark. There are many more with "putative" or "probable" roles and known homologs.

In total the headline seems to be misleading. We're only truly lost on about 9% of these essential genes.
I've struggled with depression, and horrid bouts of anxiety.

It was the anxiety that was relentless. I'd wake up, and boom, it would set in.

The anxiety was so debilitating, and lasted for so many years; I think my current depression is because my quality of life deteriorated because I felt so terrible? Meaning--a doctor would call my depression situationally caused? Meaning--my life didn't turn out as planned? I really don't know, nor care to know at this point. Every word out of every professional never even seemed remotely helpful.

I'll take that back, so of it was helpful. For example-- I used to worry I could hurt someone. I would see a piece of broken glass, and worry I would hurt someone. I forget what psychologists call it, but it's related to anxiety/OCD? You will not hurt anyone. Stop worrying about it. You are the last person who's going to hurt someone statistically.

Another example--I would get down at around sunset. That's nothing more than a marker of time. You are depressed another day went by, in this finite world.

Another example--I can't think of one. Over twenty years seeing a therapist, and two examples. Well, a full year of Freudian, and Behavorial therapy, and twenty years being held hostage by a MD for medications.(yes, they gave to make a living, but the prearranged appointments are bothersome, especially if you are on a low dose of an addictive drug, and no blood work is required? In my case, only the addictive drugs remotely worked.)

All I know now is I get very depressed. I've been to enough doctors, and read enough to know if I'm seriously suicidal go to a big hospital, and ask for ECT therapy. I've never had the treatments, but I hear they work. It might be the only tool psychiatrists have that really works, and isn't addictive?

I'm pretty dissalusioned with the mental health system. I found it costly, and well I won't go on; you need to try it out yourself if afflicted.

My bigger question is why are Americans so misserable? I have my own suspicions, but tired of even repeating them.

If America is so great, why are we looking to escape through drugs? Why do we have so much mental illness? Why do we have so many violent people? Why do we sell our souls to get to a comfortable level of living? I have seen Americans do despicable acts(all legal) in order to get ahead financially.
I just don't get it?

And please, no ra-ra cowboy simplistic answers. Believe me, all that over confidence/testosterone goes out the window when you are sidelined by a mental illness. I was always the strongest, and usually the most intellectually capable person in any room.

I had a breakdown, and I as a quevering child. All that confidence/ability went away. I've never been quite the same. I've never gotten a reason why this happened to me. why--they don't know!

I'm not coming back to see what people posted. I know what's wrong with America. We gave a lousy safety net. We are all expected to be the best. It's way to hard to "make it" in America for poor, and middle class kids. We are way to critical of ourselves, and others.

Good luck everyone!
This is honestly not surprising.

Git LFS is an over-engineered solution to the problem that deliberately makes running your own LFS server needlessly complex.

All of this just encourages/reaffirms people's decision to use GitHub, and then of course they end up having to pay extra for data transmission on LFS stored files.

I would certainly believe it, considering (naively) that one expects the cost of implementing a standard to be directly related to the length of that standard: checking the ISO Publicly Available Standards page[0], I found 6760 pages of Office Open XML standard (ISO 29500) and 1996 pages of Open Document Format standard (ISO 26300).[1]

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) Final Beta Released
Your comparison is valid for the scenario 'whats the difference in price for x people to make this trip by car or plane'. His comparison was 'how does the cost of the trip change if I go from one to two people for either method of travel'. Assuming he and his wife operate as a single financial unit, then the cost of the trip by car does not change when they both travel somewhere instead of one person travelling, and you have to make that assumption or his mention of 2 train tickets being more expensive makes no sense.
The root of the problem is why FooBarComponent is a giant index.js. Also, why does it have React bundled if it expects to be a reusable component? Also, frameworks like React etc. shouldn't be a bundled dependency. They should be an external dependency or a top-level dependency.
Wow that was a interesting read, to say the least. Thanks for the link!
The article describes the paradox. The average fund manager will perform as well as the market, but they charge fees so the net return is less.

If you think you are able to pick out better fund managers, then you should be picking stocks instead. If you're unable to pick stocks, what makes you think you're able to pick managers when you are working off opaque trades and even less information?
We don't actually store your credentials. We work with Plaid.com, and take a token which we can use to pull balance information. This allows us to fund a transaction in real time and take on the risk of ACH. When you change your credentials, that token gets reset.

If we took routing / account numbers, you'd have to preload your account and wait up to 3 business days. It's something we're definitely looking into though as well though.

I believe that what the author is trying to say is that some of the feelings and ideas of a depressed person are disconnected from reality. Not all. This is part of the definition of depression: if all that you believe is rational and based in reality, then you are not depressed.

If a person truly believes that they are worthless and have no hope of ever doing something good, then that is a delusional belief -- unless you suggest that some people really are worthless and can never change.

Everybody will feel like shit sometimes. It's normal. Bad things happen. But when feeling like shit becomes totally disconnected from the reality of your situation, when guilt over the way you feel itself becomes the reason for continuing to feel worthless, that's depression. Once that feedback loop is connected it can be VERY HARD to escape. Some people come to believe that death is the only escape. Even though a depressed person will get angry at people who tell them they are not worthless, will say that they don't understand, I think it's still something that he needs to hear.

Well, just to give you a taste, here's an excerpt from "Revision Control with Arch: Introduction to Arch" in Linux Journal (http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7671):

In Arch, a changeset is represented as a directory tree full of bookkeeping files, patches, new files and removed files. The best contribution technique is to create a changeset directory and then tar it up for delivery:

$ tla changes -o ,,new-robot-comment
$ tar czvf my-changes.tar.gz ,,new-robot-comment/

Arch ignores files beginning with two commas, an equal sign and a few other special characters. By using a ,, at the start of our changeset directory name, we avoid the annoyance of Arch complaining that our new directory doesn't exist in the archive. It is probably good practice to use your e-mail address or some other identifier in the tarball filename and changeset directory name.
Its probably not a coincidence, that this appeared on the front page the same day

I don't know about the nature of your side projects. Have you done any in challenging computer science fields like computer vision, speech recognition or machine learning, or anything electronics related?

The fun thing about them is that there are no dearth of problems to solve, and if you really want to build an intuition in them to come up with new techniques, you have to brush up on or learn from scratch multiple math fields like statistics, linear algebra and calculus. For an autodidact like me, it's like a kid in a toy shop.

I felt the way you did some years ago. I was good at stringing up frameworks together in multiple languages and writing glue code to make some CRUD apps. It made me complacent that I was "good" at this and then I got "bored". Venturing out of my mental comfort zones to tougher fields has proven to be a great way to avoid that boredom. Haven't got bored in past 5 years!
I've recently wanted to write a streaming download service like this recently.

Is the backend licensed as free software? It would be fantastic for admins to host their own version of this since it allows the concept to propagate without worry of shutting down.

If self-driving cars are a huge success as a technology, it won't be from Google. Google is incredibly bad at developing things where humans need to be involved. (See also: Try to get customer service for most Google products.)

Google has basically glossed over the fact that their cars fail every 1,560 miles and focused on their "1.4 million miles driven" figure. They're pushing an agenda of eliminating the human driver from their prototypes, even though their cars would be incredibly dangerous without them.

Meanwhile, other companies are focusing on ways to make the UX of self-driving cars safe and comforting for humans to interact with: http://www.fastcodesign.com/3054330/innovation-by-design/the...

One Year of Building Up CWRU’s Community for Women in Computer Science
>>> Technology also means that the strategies of active managers can be replicated at much lower cost. Take value managers, who claim to be able to beat the market by picking cheap shares. A computer program can comb the market for stocks that look cheap relative to their profits, asset values, or dividends; investors have no need to worry that the active manager might lose focus or change style. When it comes to choosing between asset markets, robo-advisers, using computer models, can help investors manage their wealth for a very low fee. Earlier this month Goldman Sachs, a big bank, became the latest big financial firm to buy one. <<<

There is absolutely no doubt that an algorithm can outperform most asset managers using traditional strategies quite well, but their implied thesis is wrong. It is extremely unlikely that any system short of an AGI, no matter how sophisticated, will be able to displace all active managers.

The reason behind that is that the best active managers try to build up positions by creating an informational edge. The very best ones are willing to do whatever it takes. Some have specialists analysing satellite imagery. Others are willing to snap up equity in private competitors of a company to check out their orderbook to predict the reality of the market before it can be reflected by the market. Or fund studies and do their own work. Whatever it takes.

A really great example of this trend is the rise of activist hedge funds which work by shorting the market and exposing malfeasance at companies. Last year an activist hedge fund manager, Whitney Tilson, found out that the products of Lumber Liquidators was laced with a carcinogen. He had lab tests conducted, shorted the stock, announced his results publicly, and created a media campaign around it resulting in a tumble. http://seekingalpha.com/article/3019166-lumber-liquidators-i...

It is extremely unlikely that any system could have replicated Tilson's work, because none of this data was online or existed somewhere that could be easily queried. At best these systems can trade far more effectively humans can with existing strategies, but that does not mean they can produce great returns, as they're operating upon the information the market already knows, as opposed to seeking out what isn't known.

There are similar examples within commodities - there are firms that specialise in using satellite imagery to predict if OPEC has increased production or what the global yield of rice / wheat is going to be. (case in point http://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2015-07-08/satellite-... ) There is an arms race going on right now to know what the state of any economy will be before anyone else knows it. They will continue to specialise along this route by funding remote sensing companies, putting money into internet analytics to predict future usage patterns, and everything else they can think of before anyone else.

Machines just can't compete - at least, for now.
