Citing the Mario Woods shooting does nothing for your case. For those who haven't been following along, Woods had just stabbed a total stranger on the street and police showed up to apprehend him. He would not drop his knife after repeated orders and use of less lethal force like pepper spray and bean bag rounds. After a few minutes, he tried to break through the perimeter the cops had set up around him. At that point, the police could have either let a dangerous man escape, they could put themselves in great peril by physically stopping a charging man with a knife, or they could shoot him and end the threat to the public and themselves.

I'm not saying that the police couldn't have handled this better, but characterizing this incident as "shoot first and ask questions later" is mendacious.

Edit: And Ian Murdock? What evidence is there that police killed him?

For local development, consider looking into devd (https://github.com/cortesi/devd). It's a single binary that supports things like livereload, network throttling, routing, and reverse proxying.
Hi Vixen.

In science, debate is encouraged. Seems that some are scared of a debate.
You can certainly "find references" and "jump to declaration" in VS Code. Great support for this in TypeScript especially.

Good. I would think less of her if she wasn't.
"Silicon Valley" is not centrally planned, and thus cannot effectively stop unimportant projects. As a result we live in this terrible dystopia where some ruthless people make products that other people might want to buy, with no regard about whether it's an "Important Problem." It's almost as if -- and I'm afraid to even say it -- the world doesn't care about you or your important problem and the important product that's going to solve it. I'm afraid that it might be the case that there are people out there -- the kinds of people you and I would never want to know -- who like gadgets, like their dogs, and would like a gadget for their dog. Maybe, if all of Silicon Valley sticks together, we can fix it, so that instead they pay attention to whatever important product you're working on.
Looking back it's absolutely thrilling and I can't believe things worked out the way they did. I was a Uni Senior at the time wrapping up my 'electives' so taking intro courses was my plan to pad up the GPA a little (another example: Intro to Piano simply to re-learn to read sheet music). Almost all the other classmates were Freshman level or close to it, being an intro course, which I think went in my favor. There were a lot of personalities and some fair doses of immaturity (I'm a former hardcore Half-Life DM multiplayer gamer) but the professor did an admirable job of keeping it working for the full semester.

I think I need to map out ways to tell the story, rather than just blurt it all out kind of like the above. I've been working a lot on Medium so stay tuned I guess haha

Edit: I've reached out to the professor from the course to see if he'd be interested in reading/critiquing my write-up, should I put one together. We'll see!
This seems like an over-engineered alternative to just shipping juice to people...
The difference I see is that EE is a math field. The concepts of EE can only be represented as numbers and math.

Computer science is only focused on logic and algorithms with state.

It's not really math.

But in the end I DON'T mind math classes, I like math classes. I mind stupid English, Lit, and Phil, classes.

I'll probably go for a math minor. I like it. But I'm not going to for a English minor.
Yes! I've seen a few of these, but hadn't looked at the whole list. Fantastic.
Not once have I hear someone suggest that MAYBE just fucking maybe, the issue is that the banks are to large.

Smart people have said it. Here's Paul Volcker saying, "Any bank that is too big to fail is too big to exist." They should be broken up: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014240527487048255045745863...

Sheila Bair, the head of FDIC was also talking about breaking up banks that were too big.

But you know, there were lobbyists, and also the regulators who want to regulate large things. Eventually it will happen, after the next crisis, or the one after that, because, as Volcker says, "it just makes sense."

It appears that you're excelling in one aspect of the evaluation but failing in another. There's a reason WHY they're not following up.

If he failed some other part of their interprocess -- that's fine, they can send a polite and professional rejection letter. Even a soulless form letter will do.

But to not follow up in any way with the candidate, after that? Unless the candidate vomits in the interviewer's lap, or something similar -- that's just pure rudeness, on the company's part.

Because they're percentages.

Or are any of them greater than 100?
> in a period when both the population and number of guns owned by it increased by very roughly 50%

An increase in the number of guns owned is deceptive. The percentage of Americans who own a gun and the percentage of households that contain a gun have been decreasing, I think from about half of households in the seventies to about a third today (NRA point to different research that shows less of a decline). The number of guns owned has increased because some people who already have a gun buy more, sometimes many more.
The book "The Player of Games" by Iain M. Banks was inspired by the computer game "Sid Meier's Civilization" and it paints a picture of a profoundly dysfunctional empire which is governed by the use of an elaborate game. Mark Zuckerberg recently recommended the book, but it's highly thought of by SF fans generally.

("Civilization" was a development of "Railroad Tycoon", an earlier PC game inspired by the boardgame series 18xx designed by Francis Tresham, starting in the 70s)

Just some context.
Really depends on your needs. There are lots of options out there that are happy to talk to Postgres, but each has different strengths and weaknesses. If all you need is a way to basically share and visualize the output of SQL queries and everyone who's using the tool can write SQL well, then look at Periscope or Mode.

If you're ok pulling the data out of Postgres into memory locally and mostly care about manipulation and beautiful dataviz, then look at Tableau.

If you're mostly interested in more data sciency/ML stuff, then Shiny or something else that's R-based is a good option.

If you're interested in being able to embed your business logic into the tool so that non-SQL folks can build their own queries and everybody's relying on the same data definitions, that's where Looker (disclosure: where I work) excels.
They're providing brilliant developer tools for free and all they are asking for is an email address- give them a break.
That's great! Reading the documentation it seems there is no support for multiple clients and multiple GPUs (Many-To-Many), is there anything planned on that side?
Would very much appreciate that as well as walk-through docs.

Got it up and running easily enough, and connected to Redshift. But seemed like creating a new "slice" required custom JSON params to define it. Unless I missed something?

edit: yep, missed something. Can "explore" a table by clicking it's link in the table listing.
Bringing Data Science to Mobile Shopping at Wish
Yea, I agree that the IntelliJ IDEA and VS (not code) are the two best IDEs out there.

The three major factors I would rank the IDEA over VS.

1. Extensibility, its more likely to support X language

2. Crossplatform, it actually runs on my platform

3. Its UI doesn't change drastically every few years. This is such an underrated thing IMO. Neither VS or IDEA are pretty IDEs, they both are actually butt ugly. They don't need to be. But VS goes thru so many visual changes and reorganizations, its the same reason why I don't use Office. I'm not sure many ppl view this as a bad thing however. I often find MS fans loving to brag about how "modern" their software always looks, even if it still looks just as shitty as the old one lol.

C# has a much better shot at defeating Java then Go does. Which is odd, because Go would be a nice replacement for Java, and would alleviate some of the more structural problems. But, C# isn't so shabby either nowadays, lots of new features, multiple implementations, FOSS-ness.

Can't wait to find out!
Someone said to me Lambda cold start overhead was several magnitudes worse with Java, than Node.js. Truth or BS?
A properly administered Linux system would be emailing root mail to a real email address unless monitored by another system. I've never worked in a professional environment where root mail was left unread at any point. Root aliases (excluding environments with other monitoring) are on the checklist for any basic image(server) deployment. It's a standard, well-adopted practice.

Perhaps there are lots of people/repos/projects that have both python code and C-extensions to python, causing them to cluster together.
The Introverted Issue
I left ars when Jon Stokes did. Learned more about CPUs from his articles than I did in most of college courses combined.
For anyone else that's curious, the lottery problem is called the Transylvanian lottery: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transylvania_lottery

The primary observation is if you want to match k numbers on tickets where you pick n numbers, each ticket simultaneously covers n choose k different k-tuples. The Translyvanian lottery is designed so that finite projective planes give you the minimal result (no pair appears on more than one ticket).

This sort of combinatorial design is rumored to have been used by the MIT syndicate that gamed the Massachusetts lottery (notably, they manually and laboriously picked their numbers while the other two syndicates were using random quick picks).

(I've had to learn a lot about lotteries in the last two years :P)

On a side note, finding a minimal set of tickets to cover a set of outcomes is exactly analogous to testing software with pairwise testing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-pairs_testing

> Often starting a “VIP” membership in a premium app will add a special icon next to your name.

I still believe that this might be a revenue stream for stuff like Twitter or Instagram. Just offer "VIP Badges" of several ranks from 5 to 500$ dollar a year.

Especially on Instagram there are so many people flashing their riches so there would be an inherent competition of who can afford the most expensive VIP badges. You post pictures of your Bugatti but you don't have that expensive black VIP badge? That's bad for your image.

There are also tons of "fitness models" who try to earn their livings through Instagram and some sort of VIP badge would give them a lot more "street cred".

Just be sure that you don't turn this into a micropayment shitfest and do some clever marketing which appeals to the public appearance of those rich Youtuber and then suddenly everybody wants to be a VIP.

As nice as it would be for Microsoft to kind of run those IDE's and toolsets, I think it would be bad for the market altogether, we can't have just one company running every developer offering out there, competition is good. I hope someone else buys them out though, just to see how that ends up.

Great to see competition in this space that isn't a PEO. There's still a lot of room for disruption here.
In my opinion, the core function "compiler" -- is absolutely beautifully written (The crowning gem of this well-written compiler).

It's abstract without being too abstract (exactly the right level of abstraction), and it's a model of simplicity, comprehensibility (especially for people new to compilers), and elegance:

function compiler(input) {

var tokens = tokenizer(input);
var ast = parser(tokens);
var newAst = transformer(ast);
var output = codeGenerator(newAst);

// and simply return the output!
return output;

}

In short, a great starting point (especially for beginners) to conceptualize and subsequently delve into the depths of what goes on in a compiler.

An A+ and Two Thumbs Up for your efforts. The teaching potential of this compiler (which is always what I'm looking for in compilers) is huge!

You also have the option to not use the software, if it's software you want, not need.
hmm, not even sure what that was. I know this sounds like sour grapes complaining so feel free to read it in Verruca Salt's voice if you want... This is why I am scared to try anything new from Google. I know why they do it, I know how they do things, I totally get it, but it does not make it better. I know they like trying new things. I know they're not afraid to get rid of things that aren't performing like they want. But as a little guy, just part of the big group of users they monetize every day, I can't ever use anything new from them because I'm just afraid it will be gone in a year or two. I don't expect them to keep every damn thing running forever, I really get that they can't, but they seem over eager to shut things down, even if they seem to be used by no small number of people. e.g. Google Keep. Tried, loved it, never used it again. I'm still afraid it'll die any day now. /Verucca
Saitek (Slightly) Upgrades Its HOTAS Lineup with the X-56 Rhino
On the other side, I wish app stores required submitting all source code and not binaries. Then, the store would build the app binaries on their end and keep the source code archive somewhere.

Also give the developer an option to make the source code publicly available. How great would that be!
It's worth distinguishing between the tools that leave the data in your data warehouse (Caravel, Periscope, Mode, Looker (where I work)), and those that have their own data stores (Good Data, Qlikview, etc.) Tableau can connect directly to your datastore, but it's happier if it can operate on data that's stored locally in-memory.

Anyway, the ones where bring your own database can scale as far as the database can bring you.
> which treat a driver with a BAC of 0.08 much more harshly than, say, a driver distracted by his kids or a cell phone call, despite similar levels of impairment.

One is impairment by situation (kids, or some other occurrence) which you can't conceivably protect against all instances of prior to driving. That is, it's caused by outside forces. The other is willful disregard for the law and the safety of others by initiating the situation when you know it's against the law.

> Singling out alcohol impairment for extra punishment isn't about making the roads safer.

It's a disincentive because it's seen as both more problematic and disruptive.

No, it's legal. Your soundbite has no place in a serious discussion. Feel free to say it's equitable to theft, or you see it as no different, but we both know it is not actual theft, and all you are doing is avoiding the question, which could have been done just as easily by leaving it out.

I am sad about this. I've used the card since it came out years ago. Reloading, paying, canceling, renewing, locking were all so super easy. Only reason I didn't switch to Simple was because of the existence of Google Wallet + card, guess I'll be looking into that now.

Update: Keeping Pinboard on IFTTT
// From the e-mail to IFTTT users

Hello Pinboard Customers,

We've made mistakes over the past few days both in communication and judgment. I'd like to apologize for those mistakes and attempt to explain our intentions. I also pledge to do everything we can to keep Pinboard on IFTTT.

IFTTT gives people confidence that the services they love will work together. There are more services in the world than IFTTT can possibly integrate and maintain alone. We are working on a developer platform that solves this by enabling service owners to build and maintain their integration for the benefit of their customers.

The vast majority of Channels on IFTTT are now built on that developer platform by the services themselves. We made a mistake in asking Pinboard to migrate without fully explaining the benefits of our developer platform. It's our responsibility to prove that value before asking Pinboard to take ownership of their Channel. We hope to share more on the value of our platform soon.

I also want to address Pinboard’s concerns with our Developer Terms of Service. These terms were specific to our platform while in private beta and were intended to give us the flexibility to evolve our platform in close partnership with early developers. We’ve always planned to update and clarify those terms ahead of opening our platform and we are doing so now. We are specifically changing or removing areas around competing with IFTTT, patents, compatibility and content ownership. The language around content ownership is especially confusing, so I'd like to be very clear on this: as a user of IFTTT you own your content.

I truly appreciate all of your feedback, concerns and patience. Helping services work together is what IFTTT does. We respect and appreciate the open web. This very openness has been instrumental in enabling us to build IFTTT and we fully intend to pay it forward.

The problem with using a standard convention for this sort of thing is that it's easy to detect and subvert (in this case, drop the + character and everything following it from the username).

If I sign up for, say, a Sears mailing list with the address sears@justinlardinois.com, it's not possible to divine what my "real" email address is.

What are the arguments for this being a bad idea?
Crippling anxiety and social phobia are not things I would want in an employee, all else equal,

It's not that their anxiety is crippling; it's that for various reasons, the hiring process is typically conducted in a way that is at best often careless and inconsiderate to the candidate -- and quite often needlessly stressful and confrontational.

In other words, the people who sometimes get tripped by such processes aren't demonstrating "crippling anxiety"; they're demonstrating perfectly normal, human traits.

> There are still multiple stone age level tribes on the earth.

Yes, of course. The key word there being tribe. Not isolated breeding pairs.

> take a woman and man from such a society with no tools and clothing, and put them in a environment similar to what they are used to and they will build the tools and clothing they need and reproduce.

Maybe. But even if this were true, the couple would still be relying on knowledge gained through their upbringing in the tribe. That's the reason doing this experiment with humans not raised in a stone-age tribe would almost certainly fail.
This one is mostly notable for being so dang tiny. Just look at how that ethernet port on the hilariously overpriced "dock" dwarfs the board.

As far as power goes, it's basically a cheap home router without the plastic case. Don't expect too much from a 133Mhz MIPS chip. The most obvious use case for something like this would be a home grown IoT sensor or automation. Or you could make it a super tiny wireless bridge (but then you'll need to buy that overpriced breakout board or wire up your own ethernet jack), however the built-in WiFi is probably going to suck pretty bad thanks to having a super tiny antenna and being cheap as hell.
If you don't keep reposting it and it meets the guidelines, I'd think so because "Show HN" is designed for letting people try stuff out and provide feedback.
