That example was contrived but it wasn't designed to show off the worst of Tcl's syntax. There is worse out there.

Little wasn't a slam on Tcl, if you think that then you miss the point. Little is trying to bring people to Tcl. The Tcl ecosystem has a boatload of good stuff, people should check it out.

But many people are put off by Tcl's syntax, it's fine for glue, which is what Ousterhout intended, but it sucks for 300,000 lines of code. If you want to write big programs then perhaps some type checking could help you. And perhaps some familiar syntax might help. Little is for people that have to maintain a pile of code.
I am a pretty informed EU person, and I had no idea South Korea was a military dictatorship so recent. If I think about it, I don't know anything about that region regarding the 80s.

What is described here is worse that what happened behind the Iron Curtain at the same time, in terms of numbers at least (more people tortured).
i love DO and I have just started using gitlab. they're both great. it even makes sense to offer existing customers a credit in this industry because with redundancy and just private/personal deployments ect people often have accounts at DO, AWS, Azure and Google, maybe even rackspace or an IaaS provider like heroku or engineyard.

I know your comment was in favor of DO, and mine is as well in a dif light. Winning a primary customer or "engagement" is big.

Digital Ocean retired a bunch of credit I had. I emailed support and asked for ot back amd they gave it to me. Sort of a hassle, but you know what? Digital Ocean is going against the biggest providers and provides simplicity and community and I love them for it.

They help new devs learn. They're acquisition strategy was hiring a content creator as a 1st hire to write tutorials and build a community.

Another credit and better integration reminds customers why they stay with them (and gitlabs why they are a great offering).

I like gitlabs and digital ocean. As an intermediate dev, it is a perfect ecosystem. I jave heard there are some security or package issues, but for me, I can get what I need done.

Simple API.

Simple Pricing.

Amazing Support.

Great Community.

So i use them. They're credits keep me saying great things about them because I rarely have money so this goes an extra bit.

Its prob worth $10 to them that I tell every beginner to use DO and regularly tweet thanks to then
That's a great store, but they were out of stock, and nobody selling them on Amazon would ship to the Netherlands. Maybe they're easier to find in Japan, where they're made. I made sure to lock in my order from Australia where they had one in stock, before blabbing about it on Hacker News. ;)

It seems so sensible, I don't understand why there aren't more convertible keyboards like that! Together with a convertible bluetooth mouse like the Razer Orochi that also supports multiple bluetooth pairings, it's the best of both worlds for low latency USB gaming, charging, and wireless switching like a KVM between Macs, PCs, tablets, phones, GearVR, etc.

I wish there were more convertible devices like that to choose from. The KBTalKing Pro looked wonderful, but never made it to regular production ("factory issues"). http://kbtalkingusa.com/ http://www.keyboardlover.com/kbtalking_review.php

Be careful shopping for convertible devices that actually use Bluetooth and not some proprietary dongle, and that actually use USB for fast low latency data instead of just charging!
I live in tmux on my 13" MBAir. For a while, at work, I had a 30" monitor, but I realized that after a few months, I never bothered to plug in my laptop, and, those rare times that I did, I rarely looked at it.

About the only exception was when working with Visio. The large monitor is pretty handy then.

For PBM's (they control your RX benefits for insurance companies) to also be a pharmacy is a huge conflict of interest. How it does not fall under antitrust laws is a surprise.

That being said, PillPack seem to be very small and was only supplying 1 out 25000 prescription fulfilled by Express Scripts [1] I also think PillPack didn't want to label itself an "online pharmacy" for branding reasons, since "online pharmacies" are usually though of as places where you buy viagras, etc. which is what express script is arguing [1]

I've been investing like this since high school and that portfolio consistently beats the performance of the Boglehead style 401k & 457 plans that I am stuck with from my employers.

I use a narrower field of 5-8 companies, a reasonable cash portfolio and occasionally municipal bonds. It's like anything else, if you are motivated, it's quite possible to find undervalued assets with good potential.

I agree, the language here is condescending at best.

I don't want an organization talking to me as if it were my friend. Apple is not a friend -- it is a company that wants my money. (If anything that makes it an enemy.)

One thing I have found is not to trust anyone above oneself that tries to stoop to your level. They often do this because either they think you are not smart enough to understand what they really want to say, or they just really don't want to say it but they need some words to put on a page.

I was wondering why a link to Medium when the post is somewhere else, but then I realised HN's submission criteria is f(karma, domain of submission)
What do you need to efficiently run an artificial neural net? A great mass of configurable simple cells. Sound familiar?

So it's possible the current C-suite actually know what they're doing, and Intel's disfunction is concentrated in the middle layers of territorial empire builders. Krzanich, if you're reading, lay off everyone between you and the front-line managers. I know that'll be a lot more than 11%, but still....

Oh come on HN! The author of this great article asked if you have any questions and you go for the scrolljacking comment?!

Apparently it works just as djslumdog says -- people like him/her will continue doing the small amount of important work that can't be automated, and will be compensated handsomley to do so. They will fly around the world, enjoying vacations, live in large homes, eat lavish meals.

Everyone else will live in 100 square foot apartments in Soviet-style concrete bunkers, eating ramen (or possibly Soylent). But they won't need to work! They'll spend their entire day painting and composing music!

A lot of people here push this vision, and of course they always imagine themselves to be part of the elite. It really is insufferable.
You understand why a casual reader, when encountering the statement, "I use 3% of my battery in 90 minutes on my laptop" will raise an eyebrow, right? The extrapolation to total battery life is a little mind boggling.

> Yes, the title is extremely sensationalized,

Yes, the original title is sensaionalized and didn't actually agree or align with the contents of the article which is why when I submitted this story I changed the title for HN to be what it is above "Smoking Cannabis Associated with Dopamine Deficits in the Brain". I suppose I could have used correlated instead of associated but the article seemed to link the two fairly poorly and I felt associated is a lower threshold of a link than correlation. I was more interested in the discussion this would invoke from HNers. Thank you HNers for your thoughts and insights.
The lack of clarity over exactly why Express Scripts is "blocking" PillPack makes me suspect there's more to this story.

it blows my mind that South Korea was a military dictatorship

Why? China, Japan, Vietnam, and Taiwan all derive their political cultures primarily from Confucianism, a strongly hierarchical system that modern commentators would probably, if it could be seen undoctored today, describe as a dictatorship. North Korea, a personality cult with similar structure, persists.

At the same time, in the 1980s, nearby Taiwan was also a dictatorship of the Nationalist Chinese army and was also supported if not set up by the US. They stopped off in Burma to grow heroin and prop up a military dictatorship there along the way. In the last few years, the US has basically let the dictators out of prosecution to counter growing regional Chinese influence which was formerly set to dominate the country. Singapore is widely accused of setting up its stock market explicitly to launder the drug revenues, and still has - and indeed probably only exists today - because of major US support.

Vietnam is the only really strong story of the lot, repulsing an attack from China after kicking out the French and Americans and re-asserting its independence, then removing another dictatorship (Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge) from Cambodia in 1978.

I mean scientific computing is what the language was designed for, use it if that's what you need.

Just don't expect to be using those shiny numbers for anything but scientific computing (and most specifically when involving large matrices). Their namespacing and modularity is terrible, writing a complex gui, non-trivial web server, 3d renderer, or any sort of real time system is right out. And they seem dead set against changing that (did I mention they ban people for making too much noise about it). But if you want to simulate something over a cluster it's a great choice.

I should probably note that I have a poor opinion of their community from my observations (they are hilariously salty), I may be a bit biased.
AFAIK maintaining a lock file is left to the tool that fetches and maintains dependencies.

For Elixir, mix maintains the mix.lock file. Hex integrates with mix.

For Erlang, rebar3 maintains a rebar.lock file. There's a rebar3_hex plugin for Hex integration with rebar3.
Why should you? Human culture seems to work better if you don't, for one, moreover property rights over something infinitely reproducible in principle, are a lot more tenuous than property rights based on physical possession. For the former you need consensus and consent at a societal level, and a legal system, to enforce the right. For the latter you just have to hold on to the thing.

So, let us know how you're going to justify the infinite-copyright meme you like to trot out at every opportunity, both morally and pragmatically. Explain how such a regime is fairer to everyone involved, and results in better cultural outcomes.

Because, you do cheerlead for longer copyright terms a lot. Which is fine (though obv I really disagree). But I've never seen you actually back it up.

There is a difference between an institutional investor or advisors with fiduciary responsibility and a free agent. Professionals have consequences for fucking up beyond the money lost. So they always parrot whatever advice will not get them sued.

Warren Buffet has been quoted elsewhere in this story recommending index funds. But, funny enough, his own behavior is 180 degrees from that.

I always find these threads amusing. The average commenter treat stocks as some sort of black magic that requires a mystical priesthood of professionals to touch. But nobody says "OMG, buying a house is a crazy investment, buy a REIT ETF and rent!"

Stocks are like any other commodity. My wife is an aggressive shopper -- she understands the marketing cycles and can get 6 months of Tide for $0.50 on the dollar. With some work, you can get deals on equites.
I think the biggest annoyance by far is iTunes Connect. It's an odd beast.

FWIW my CPA charges a flat fee ($350, in NYC, which is an expensive city) and does a lot for that fee. My taxes are complicated. I don't think this is uncommon, although I may have a discounted price.

Regardless of mechanics or feature set discussed elsewhere in this thread, selling me on an extra $120/year is an increase of 30% to my hard cost of dealing with taxes per year.

And because your brain (and my brain) parsed it that way, it is likely that others will too which may mean that it is not really a picture you want on your screen at work. I.e. even though it is technically OK, it may be, for practical purposes, NSFW.
Apparently apple pie has been a significant source of false positives in NSFW detection -- it mimics both flesh tones and contours. (Or so I was told by a then-major image hosting company pitching their filtering tech several years back.)

> DO it might be because they have EU possibly even German Data centers but simply because a Citizen of Germany visits a web site and signs up for a online service does not automatically make german laws apply to that business.

Are you saying this because you are extrapolating from American law regarding whether a company has a 'nexus' within a given state, or perhaps thinking about taxation?

In those specific cases, what you are saying is true, but in general national-level governments do not care that foreign companies are not actually headquartered within their borders. They demand (arrogantly one might say) that all companies doing business with their citizens follow X,Y,Z rules or else they'll try to sanction the company.

Granted if a company is truly foreign then any sanction would be pretty limited in scope.

However, easy sanction is to stop credit card processors and banking agencies from dealing with a foreign company thus stopping your citizens from easily giving them money.

As a South Korean, I can firmly say that this is propaganda.
The country's rapid and flourishing economic growth is due to the military dictatorship.(You can see historical charts for the evidence)
Before any of them, the system was so chaotic. The "so-called" dictators unified the people to have a sense of patriotism that eventually gave them the incentive to work hard and live strong.
They were also the people who stood against the North Korean spies that intentionally tried to infiltrate into the system with Marxist ideologies.
The leaders during that time are still the most respected people in all Korean history.
Even during the most notorious Jun-doo-hwan period the economy rapidly progressed.

Unfortunately, during president Kim-Dae-Joong's period, people twisted history and defamed the previous dictators with propaganda.
This president was the person who won Korea's first novel peace prize for funding North Korea with billions of dollars. This money was eventually used for building the nuclear bombs. Yet, many people still think of this as a great feat.
In truth, it is shameful.
Um, not really.

The main feature that Clojure provides for concurrency is immutability, not just the possibility of using existing data structures in an immutable manner, but an entire suite of immutable data types and data structures. This makes concurrency, even using Java's primitives, like Thread, (which was the original way Clojure was intended to be used anyway,) with Clojure's data structures is a win over using Java's if you want safe, predictable behaviour in a concurrent program.
I like bidi's data structure oriented idea.

Focusing solely on CPC is a mistake. Conversions are far more important IMO.

As an example for using irrelevant images - sure cute cat pics are going to get clicked way more resulting in a lower CPC but those are not going to convert.

Same thing with the text on images. Without text on the image that explains what it is about, users might click more out of curiosity. Those are not going to convert well though.

I would much rather have a lower CPL or lower cost per conversion over a lower CPC.

To sum it up, the ending summary of "To have a successful Facebook ad:" should really be "Focus on what drives in the lowest cost per conversion and highest ROI"
