> Packages are for development. [...] Don’t use apt-get install or yum install or npm install or any of another hundred other package installers on your production systems.

No. Binary packages are not for development, they are for operations.
Source and XX-devel packages are for development. In fact, DEBs and RPMs are
the best currently known way of deploying services, being easy to build, to
install, having vast tooling around them, and being flexible enough to fit
most of the deployment scenarios.

> Modern systems and services are deployed as images, file system trees, or the entire “userland” of the operating system, as seen in containers.

Except containers are vastly underdeveloped with regard to be a packaging
systems, are mixing packaging and running a networked VM, and can't always be
used to run a service.

> If you’re running apt-get update or yum update on a production system you’re asking for trouble.

If one's not running `apt-get upgrade' on production systems, then he's
asking for trouble.

Please don't let some random developer who have never seen sysadmin's job in
any greater scale tell you how to deploy and manage systems.
It looks like the bike comes to a rest with the tire in contact with the road, presumably stopping the rotation of the wheel. Then when the cyclist lets go of the bike it takes off.
This is not the definition of grid-friendly. I am just calling out that windmills could never serve as base power plant, and serving as peak power source has a serious side effect of requiring gas turbines to provide smooth energy production that does not stress the grid. You do not change the output of your base power plant on a daily basis, this is why it is called base. For the peak coverage you have something that is easy to change the performance of.
Yes, the effects could be small rather than zero. Either way, why are reporters implying (while being careful not to explicitly state) that inequality and health care are significant?

Essentially your complaint is that NHST could be more realistic and doesn't deal well with tiny effect sizes.
They tried the same thing in the French Revolution. Lookup the French Republican Calendar.

Before you deride it as ridiculous, remember that the metric system came about in the exact same way. The only difference is the world kept their space measure but tossed their temporal measure.
Nice! Yeah I think it has potential for specific kinds of applications. Text-based games are a definite yes. I couldn't agree more with your point about user education. I know a lot of friends who don't even know all the amazing things Google Now can do just because there is not interface to explain all the features. Siri has a "what can you do?" feature but even then, it's very limited. It will be interesting to see what developers and UX professionals do to improve the state of bots.
"I sincerely believe that what the West is doing in this respect is anti-development and anti the fight against climate change,” he said, accusing rich countries of charging too much for clean technology."

Compared to the rest of the modern World, we are "far-right". As a libertarian, I'd be politically extreme in any country in Europe. Even the USA Democrats are right of center compared to much of Europe. Besides, we like chanting it; its child-like fun.
True, but the externalities for coal are huge, as are the hidden subsidies. A fair comparison would also include those:

Nobody does containers better than illumos / SmartOS with Solaris zones. Battle tested, enterprise proven technology since 2006, and SmartOS just took it to the next level, and the level beyond next with Manta, and then a level beyond that with Triton.
One thing that might help would be for surveys that rate colleges (like US News & World Report's annual ranking) to start tracking what portion of classes are actually taught by research faculty. That is, after all, the distinctive factor of a university, the instruction not by teachers or practitioners but by research scholars.

And those adjuncts aren't scholars, since they don't do research. At best, they're highly credentialed teachers.
Eat your heart out Tony Abbott!

Unfortunately, the Australian Government, which under the Labor Party was trying to phase out polluting industries via a Carbon Tax and then an ETS were voted out of power due to their own cromulence and internal dysfunction.

We then got one Anthony John Abbott as the new Prime Minister who was backed by Joseph Benedict Hockey, his Treasurer.

Joe Hockey attempted to shut down the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, and said the following:

"If I can be a little indulgent please, I drive to Canberra to go to Parliament, I drive myself and I must say I find those wind turbines around Lake George to be utterly offensive. I think they're just a blight on the landscape."

The first thing that the Abbott government did once they got into power was roll back the mining tax and stop the ETS. Tony Abbott said:

"Coal is good for humanity, coal is good for prosperity, coal is an essential part of our economic future, here in Australia, and right around the world."

Abbott lasted just under two years before his even more dysfunctional government (which barely passed any legislation and whose leader was the most unpopular and incompetent Australian leader of recent history) came to an ignominious end and Malcolm Turnbull was reinstated as the leader of the LNP, and thus was elevated from backbencher to leader of Australia.

I am hopeful that Malcolm Turnbull can turn this around, but I think it's unlikely. Much of Australia's wealth is derived from coal exports, even though it never actually employed a large proportion of the Australian population (and employs even less now as there have been a lot of mine closures, especially in the Hunter area of NSW).

Sadly, we squandered the huge wealth that it generated and although the Labor party made a start towards transitioning to a clean energy economy, it has all been rolled back in only two years and the momentum they got going is unlikely to be reestablished any time soon.

Our leaders have let us down badly, and Abbott's risky bet on coal is going to cause Australia a lot of problems in the years ahead.
I was on the train in NYC yesterday and there was only sadness and despair in the eyes of the passengers. Some looked hostile and others completely apathetic. I am sure I could have died there and no one would have even looked in my direction. Dirt covered every area of the car; neglect and laziness or just budget cuts. The smell ran sour, never sweet, due to the miles of stagnant water, mold, dead things, garbage, and human stench. The train made several stops on it's transit between two stations, a stretch that could take anywhere between 10 and 20 minutes depending on the day. People pushed their way through to get onto the cars, no artwork was present save for the advertisements and the countless notices asking for you to be polite to your fellow riders. Over the PA system, a soulless voice once again reminded that one should avoid displaying their electronics, this to lower the risk of being robbed. Once out of the subway, I was greeted by a dead rat in a rat trap as a reminder of what we all are. I did this all in reverse on the way home.

The chief problem with the idea of NIMBY is that it is not really the concerned party's back yard. A more accurate term for the concept might be NIMNBY (Not In My Neighbors' Back Yard).

NIMBY is an affront to the concept of property rights. But, some say, the concerned party has the legitimate concern that development on a neighboring property will negatively impact the value of their own property. While an understandable concern to have, it does not justify the prevention of allowing the neighbor to develop on their rightfully owned property; just as company A should not be allowed to prevent company B from creating widgets because the extra competition will impact company A's bottom line.
"Soon we will be implementing OMEMO Encryption in ChatSecure iOS, and immediately contributing our OMEMO XEP code upstream to XMPPFramework so that other apps can benefit. We plan to utilize the pre-existing Objective-C library AxolotlKit, written by Frederic Jacobs, that has been used in production since the release of Open Whisper System’s Signal v2.0 for iOS. Unfortunately AxolotlKit is still currently GPL (and therefore not redistributable to the App Store) so this work is on hold until we can negotiate a change to an App Store-comptible copyleft license like LGPLv2 or MPL 2.0 from Fred and Moxie."

It may be a shorter number of bytecodes, but that does not mean it has better performance.

You have two function calls in the range version and only one in the non-range version. You are just hiding some of that code in a dynamic function call. Also, your compare_op consists of two <= in the non-range version and an "in" compare_op for the range version (which probably hides the element by element comparison or hash/bloom if it is O(1).

Fewer lines of code does not mean more efficient. Regardless of whether it is source code or bytecode.

Mostly a series of equalizers, and volume control. The amp provides amazing volume control (not much distortion even at high high volume) so I pull it back a bit before sending it through. I have different equalizers so I can turn on and odd discrete passes based on the music.

AH's ability to send the sound across multiple output paths is also really nice and I use that (less often) as well.

I meant to point out the Express Scripts-Surescripts connection (and CVS, other pharmacy stakeholders...), which is part of why I think they may have dropped PillPack.

PillPack, and some of the other startups and smaller actors in the space, are potetial threats to the established players, like Express Scripts, that essentially collude through Surescripts to protect their access to the patient-provider origination channel.

It's the Surescripts network that has the near-monopoly on prescription EDI, and it acts to protect it's members interests. The tech is ancient and entrenched in a way that I imagine would greatly upset the HN crowd if they looked at it more closely.

Regulatory actors have not been paying enough attention here IMHO, and the nature of the market has led to an opaque situation that's prevented opportunities to advance research on important questions for social issues and patient care.

I don't speak french, but in the video in the article they show several cyclists changing bikes for no apparent reason. I'm guessing that the film makers theory is that they're switching bikes to pass inspection after finishing the race, that's at least the suspicion I get when watching it.

I think switching bikes during the race should be banned. Fixing a flat tire, a malfunctioning chain or similar can be allowed, but if your bike breaks beyond repair that should be the end of the race. Ask your manufacturer for better quality next time.

Mainly, the call to range() has to construct something that it returns, that means allocating memory, which is probably going to dwarf any other code involved in this. (In case of range(1,5) I tend to assume that constructing [1,2,3,4] is probably marginally faster than constructing rangeobject)

Also, as noted in other comments, range object has special cased O(1) implementation of in for integers (range_contains_long() in Objects/rangeobject.c)

CPython bytecode interpreter tries to minimize amount of branching it causes by using some non-obvious tricks, but still by definition it is going to cause at least one essentially unpredictable branch per interpreted instruction, so optimizing for number of branches in user python code is mostly pointless endeavor.

I use C# every day and it pays handsomely when coupled with expert level knowledge within an industry. The language is pretty darn good and the tools are great as well. Plus, most problems are solved online so it becomes a question of conceiving the right solution at a macro level.

For C#: ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Web Api, WCF or ServiceStack for services, Entity Framework for data access.
Good god, that's a painfully narrow minded comment
Antarctica isn't exactly "protected" the treaty is the outcome of countries that didn't want to give up their claims to Antarctica but also weren't in a position or had the slightest will to actually develop their claims.

The treaty doesn't really protect Antarctica from anything other than nuclear tests, in the future if countries want to actually develop claims it can and will be revisited. That said there isn't much interest in this atm mostly because we do not have the technology and we aren't that desperate heck even if the largest oil field in the would would've been found there no one atm would try to develop it as it would most likely be financially non-viable but nothing would really stop anyone from doing so.

Outerspace on the other hand defines the universe as the heritage of all mankind where no one can claim any stake, which will shortly be changed probably to something along the side of what was used to be used in the US during expansion, where claims would be made by private individuals and corporations rather than countries.
> it is as if the person that supplies the paints has copyright of the painting

I think that video games are a different enough medium that normal intuition doesn't apply, and that this example is not applicable. I think most people would be unsurprised if a live-stream reading of a novel was found to infringe copyright, but how far would you have to change things to not? Would an interpretive dance adaptation of a novel infringe copyright? Almost certainly not. What about a real-time translation into Tolkien's Elvish? That probably wouldn't either, but translations are generally considered to fall under the same copyright, so maybe.

A sufficient portion of some video games is enough like a movie that I entirely understand the logic behind not allowing live streaming of play-throughs, while others (Minecraft) are clearly centered on user content enough that they would fall on the other side of that line.

I think it's unrealistic to try and describe the situation as clearly fair use or clearly infringement.

That said, I do feel that the extension of copyright length is doing damage to the growth of culture, not least in the area of video games that will be lost to time.

absolutely. thorium and thorconpower.com comes to mind. Recent news on supersonic jet comebacks makes me optimistic that eventually someone is going to pickup nuclear and challenges the status quo.
That's just an utterly ridiculous proposition.

By that logic the entire application would need to be open source, because nobody would start out by targeting the crypto if they wanted to spy on someone.
In my opinion, it's less problematic to run a closed environment, than to run an "open" environment, only to swindle the people that you just invited in your backyard.

The whole idea is that if you're going to let people build on your platform but compete with them and leverage your platform in order to do so, you effectively lured people into thinking that it was possible to build on your platform when in fact it was not, and that you benefit from this misunderstanding. And that's dishonest. If you open a "public market", then you should be accountable for keeping it fair and unbiased.

Keep in mind that the last part about how it "should" be is an opinion and not fact on the law.

There's no argument made in the comment you replied to. Certainly not a strident one in favor of range.

It appears to me they went ahead and posted the bytecode for both because they had spun up an interpreter to get the bytecode for one.

It's sad how Medium is now getting infested with articles that are really ads.
Yes, they are.

In Chrome and firefox, if google decides your website isn't up to scratch for some random reason, then visitors will see a big scary red warning and be turned away.

Yes, in theory you could get people to use a browser that doesn't incorporate Google censorship, but that's becoming a big ask.

If your website does become blacklisted by Google, good luck finding out why. They won't tell you, and will instead make you click on a "request review" button a million times while you change things to see if it floats their boat.

Isn't it slightly worrying to have the entity who decides if websites are "safe" or not, also have a monopoly on online advertising? What's to stop them blacklisting sites that use competitors advertising? They could claim that it benefits the users some how, whilst squashing any hint of competition.

Google has become the absolute gatekeeper, and (To me at least) it's a very very sad state of affairs. The www used to be free and open.

The current bike rider position (on the diamond bike) makes riding less energy efficient, for one, and more agile - rider can more easily change direction or start sprinting or both.

All of this make bike riding sport more entertaining. I guess I can put it next to Formula 1 - low and high velocities, fast and slow turns, attacks, defense, etc.

The recumbent riding would be mostly technological and would have less action. I guess I can put it next to NASCAR - high velocities, slow turns, slow attacks.

I think that recumbent would be good for US, I also guess rest of world would prefer diamond bikes.
