Interesting. I have been using such PCs in my Chinese office for about a year. They are made in a factory about 30 minutes from me. I was considering designing a better looking case and bundling a more reliable power supply to export these but I got busy with bigger business.

These Shenzhen factories are somehow getting these Intel CPUs for next to nothing. Factory price for the i5 model was about $100.
I can see how one would do such an exercise for fun. But these days I fear some people really think they need ML to gain insights that could be gained by good ol' "eyeball inspection" within a few minutes.
Yes, <$> is the general `map` (`fmap`)

<*>

takes function(s) out of a mappable and applies it (them) to argument(s) within a mappable.

(+) <$> [1,2,3] = [add 1, add 2, add 3]

(+) <$> [1,2,3] <*> [10, 20] = [(1 +), (2 +), (3 +)] <*> [10, 20] = [11, 21, 12, 22, 13, 23]

(+) <$> Just 3 <*> Just 5 = Just (3 + ) <*> Just 5 = Just 8

(+) <$> readLn <*> readLn = ...

well that depends on the inputs :)

It seems like we know the Prime Minister's position on this but we just can't tell how he's moving on it.
Or here's an alternative theory: New parenting styles have led to a generation that refuses to put up with any injustices and unfairness, no matter how small, and the confidence to stand up to the people who inflict those injustices. The older generations, who have implicitly accepted those injustices the same way our grandfathers implicitly accepted racism, can't understand why anyone else would refuse to accept it, and see all these legitimate complaints and attempts to address them, as being "entitled whining." Most likely, our grandfathers would have characterized the entire civil rights movement in an identical manner as well.

I'm not saying I believe in the above theory. But given that every "anti micro-aggressions" complaint that I've read defaults to the same extreme anecdotal evidence, and vague claims of entitlement, I've yet to see the above alternative theory being disproven in any way.

Every generation complains about how the next one is useless[1], and yet, every generation turns out to be smarter than the previous one[2], and historically, has succeeded in making the world slightly more egalitarian, fair, and less discriminatory. Chances are, 30 years from now, people on internet forums will be talking about how their own generation was perfect, how we were Neanderthals on the wrong side of history, and how their kids are ruining the world.

Those two issues are orthogonal to each other. On some plane of understanding, business executives understand that lack of money makes commerce grind to a halt. It's a form of tragedy of the commons, in monetary philosophy. Henry Ford understood this concept; it's why he paid his people well to make cars... which his workers bought.

> there is no discourse on how to handle everyone when nobody needs to work.

I was in haste in that sentence. Things like UBI are being discussed. However, the flip-side is the actual actions that grind down the worker to a 'nothing': robotic/computer work is ideal for every job, to the minds of the Silicon Valley exec.

UBI/Minimum Income: It's been given a many great names through the years. But it's understood as a way for everyone to receive the basic necessities of life, plus a bit more. But this idea requires buy-in of the population at large. Or at least, buy in from the "rich" ( https://youtu.be/5tu32CCA_Ig?t=12 )

The problem with Silicon Valley is that they have an assumption this either this already exists somehow, or it will magically appear. What instead happens, is that people lose jobs, wages are forced yet lower and lower, and the human is removed carte blanche in the favor of unpaid robotic labor. On an individual company level, this helps the bottom line of the company (race to the bottom). However, when this idea is expanded to wider and wider areas, it gentrifies the owner class away from everyone else. For in that eventuality, not even upper class jobs exist.

I do not argue that column lines or minutes/week are not given to the idea of UBI. A simple HNsearch query shows that. But I do, and have argued, that SV culture seeks to an absolute minima of nobody working except the owners and, nobody getting paid except for the owners. This, given enough iterations, leads to economic slowdown and disenfranchisement.

As closing questions: What happens when these wheels of extreme automation are turned within the current iteration of government? What happens when we get 50% unemployment? 75%? 95% (nobody working except owners)? Do you think Marshall Brain's idea of Manna is possible or likely?

As yet another variation of the "something might be physically wrong with me" theme, please have yourself tested for thyroid issues if you feel yourself feeling foggy when trying to tackle something and if that is the cause of your procrastination. Low levels of some thyroid hormones can result in this condition of feeling a "brain-fog". It is simple to get tested for and is a relatively common problem and in most cases is a simple fix.

Been using an APU board since they came out and I have a 1Gbps fibre connection. Unfortunately my measured speed comes to about 500/700Mbit but I belive that's due to either shitty equipment in the city wide fibre grid or my own switches/cables. I'm not really a network tech.

Either way the APU handles it fine for a home network and generates no noticeable heat.

Apply HN: Booleans.io
URL
https://booleans.io

BACKGROUND
Last weekend I posted Booleans.io here, much to the amusement of the Internet.

As it turns out, a good number of people saw a legitimate use for this service. I had a CS student reach out wanting to use it for a class project. Others found it useful for prototyping feature flags without setting up a database. And some wanted to connect it to IFTTT's maker channel. One person just wanted to know: "How can I pay for this?"

For some it was just a cool/fun API to play around with. There are now open source client libraries written in Ruby, Python and Typescript.

One of the most requested features was the ability to create private booleans that only you can read/write, and custom labels.

So I spent last week hacking on it and just launched those features yesterday. You can signup here to check it out: https://booleans.io/signup

CONCEPT
I look at booleans kind of like the ones and zeros of binary code. They're the most fundamental building blocks that can be used to carry out more complex actions.

A simple true or false (on/off, yes/no) value could be used to trigger a variety of events - IoT, home automation, software builds or anything else imaginable.

Soon I'll be rolling out webhooks, making it even easier to respond to events.

MONETIZATION
This service lends itself well to the freemium model. Paid subscribers could have a higher cap on booleans, a higher API rate limit and analytics/data-vis tools.

ROADMAP
Eventually I think it would be cool if users could "subscribe" to other users' booleans in kind of a marketplace fashion. Companies could also publish booleans relevant to whatever industry they're in, and consumers could then subscribe to get updates. I realize there's some overlap with IFTTT but I think they can happily co-exist.

THE END
Thank you for all the great comments/discussions from last week and I welcome any feedback or questions.

A standard block cipher running in CTR mode would provide the same functionality. So I don't think its wrong to say that the signal is encrypted.
Those devices are impressive and they probably work, but as the video correctly stated, the maintenance of those devices are the problem and makes them cost prohibitive. Typically, devices with moving parts have a shorter shelf-life, because of the hostile ocean environment.
yup, thanks for pointing out it was season 19 episode 5, safe space

i failed to because i refuse to link to that hulu run abomination

bah, south park, the show where the creators themselves put their work on the internet to be viewed freely and for free

what a unique expression of the creators' personal beliefs

a stance that had a profound impact on me, and my peers

when hulu bought the rights i felt my skin grow cold, but i held out reservations in the hope that someone at hulu was just a fan and wanted to improve south park studio's backend whilst respecting the implicit wishes of the creators that their work is free and readily consumable by anyone regardless of manufactured scarcity or paywalls

now this shit is the new normal:

"Safe Space"
This episode is currently not available at South Park Studios

and

There was an error playing this protected content. (Error code: 3365)

i lament the loss of a future's exposure to the challenging ideas innate to the show

hulu has zero respect for the series or its creators opinions on how open it has always been, and should be

From the article:

> One could also compare against Obama’s 2008 answer about bubblesort, which was just a mention of a keyword by comparison.
I'm not an AI specialist, but to my limited understanding: AI today is mostly machine learning, which means letting an algorithm build classifications from data, and deducting (more like just matching) things from the data that was gained from the learning (basically statistically). Prolog is about writing rules/matches/classifications manually, and then deducting logically from these (not statistically, but precisely). Prolog and other logic languages aren't playing in the same area, and their approach will remain relevant in the future in the areas where they already fit (e.g. expert systems with rules written by humans, writing machine checked mathematical proofs).

Now I should probably recommend you to play a bit with both approaches and do the same myself.
As an American, I feel it's a little bit condescending for them to assume we can't consume the numbers in metric units. I also kind of wonder how much gold they actually recovered. Marketing logic says they rounded up, but what if they only recovered, say, ten bushels worth, do they still round up to a tonne?
Well, the article is scant on detail, but the posture seems to be not inventing something fundamentally new but rather unifying and standardizing the best of what people are already doing.

When you start looking for jobs, only join a company that does TDD and pair programming. Ask about this in interviews.

TDD helps you break down tasks and, when you lose focus, you can regain it by re-running your test suite and seeing which test fails.

Pair programming help you because:

- They'll tend to have closer to a 10-6 schedule rather than encouraging you to stay up late.

- When talking through the problem with a colleague, you break the task down more easily and get through whatever mental block you have.

- You can't get distracted when someone else is right there.

It may be harder to find a company that does this because many folks think that they can move faster if they build something the "quick and dirty" way. "Quick and dirty" doesn't exist for you. "Quick and dirty" means that the project either fails outright or is one that you start procrastinating on until you get fired.

Take a look at the book The Clean Coder (http://www.amazon.com/The-Clean-Coder-Professional-Programme...). It talks about procrastination and how to overcome it.

For a practical introduction to TDD, I'm a fan of Test-Driven Web Development with Python. It is Free. http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1234000000754

Because "developers lobbied to not pay taxes/fees" (stipulating, for the sake of discussion, a premise not in evidence), they can be blamed for the asinine concept of public school districts? That is not logical.
I appreciate your feedback but it concerns me. It sounds like a lot of trial and error with components that cost money. One concern I have with that is it's dealing with electricity. What's the odds of getting components fried or yourself electrocuted just doing trial and error learning from tutorials and datasheets? And when you've done a bunch do you even really understand what you're doing when given fresh components?

"If you need to know about design, read application notes from manufacturers. There are thousands and thousands. "

I'll try to remember that.

There were 3 difficult parts:

* The most difficult one was recreating the physics with a modern physics engine (box2D) to make them feel like the original ones. The smallest difference was making some levels impossible. It's not perfect but I tried to tweak them the best I could. And I created a debug mode to help me (and others) achieve this: http://js.xmoto.io/?level=1010&debug=true (I had way too much fun with this mode!)

* Levels: the level format was documented but not everything was "well"-documented. So I had sometimes to reverse engineer things. Like you could see, there are thousands of levels and they added layers of logics with time. So the first levels are usually compatible, but not the latests. And when I tried to add some logics (parallax, checkpoints, etc.), sometimes, the first levels broke (it's difficult to write tests for this). I wrote a blog post about it here: http://xmoto.io/2013/08/20/level-parsing.html

* Replays: I tried to find the smallest possible format to save all player's replays on a database. The original purpose was to create a kind of online community where people could challenge themselves and replay size matters. I first tried to save the replays as "keyboard inputs" but it wasn't reproductible as physics engine are not deterministic between browsers (I learned it the hard way). So I had to save both keyboard inputs and physics "checkpoints" (every x seconds) to adjust the replays. I'm quite happy with the results because it's about 20ko for 1 minute of replay. Here is a big monologue about my reasoning: https://github.com/MichaelHoste/xmoto.js/issues/8

It's not a "hoax" in any sense. Just a plain lie. A hoax has to be fairly large-scale and affect a lot of people (negatively). The original question contained no hyper-links at all. (Ironically, one was inserted by subsequent editors).

The question is plausible. I once deleted a /lib directory due to a misspelled variable in a script! Recovery consisted of copying libs from another installation of the same OS.

Now that is the first time I see an explanation which tries to point out some sense in the apparent madness. Appreciated!

And targeted at dumb apprentices like me? I'd be happy to serve as a somewhat (though not perfectly) dumb specimen to bounce explanation attempts off!

KGI: Apple to drop aluminum iPhone casing in 2017
One thing I've noticed is that in some people procrastination is some sort of protection system. (Not saying this is what op has, just a discussion point)

They seem to feel that most tasks in life are a bit beneath them (of course I can do this course work / assignment / deliver this project / get great grades / ace this interview - I don't really need to try). Then they keep waiting and waiting until there is little time left to do the work. If they get praise/good grade/the job they have proof that they are cleverer than most and can knock work out in no time. If they fail, well it's because they didn't try that hard, so their ego isn't damaged.

Anyone else noticed this kind of procrastination? Since realising it I've noticed it more and more in people around me.

Haskell sucks because mutability and strictness are extremely important for writing large complex programs, and Haskell deliberately makes both of these things inconvenient.

Also, Haskell's ecosystem and tooling is still crappy, probably because writing complex programs in Haskell needlessly difficult (due to laziness and immutability).

And the "type-safety" guarantees are a red herring. They are not that useful in practice.
