Lua tables are more interesting than that. You can have an table that is indexed by any supported type. That means tables indexed by positive or negative integers, floating point values, references to other objects or other tables, true, false, strings, coroutines, and external memory references can all be indexes. You can also have a single table indexed by any combination of these.

It sounds like they did the user research and found that having an actual debit card was a big part of the draw of the app.

I could believe that. When I was a college student, it was a big deal when my parents got me a credit card. Even if you are limited in what you can spend, it shows that you're integrated into the same financial system that adults are and can make your own choices with money. You don't get that with a virtual currency or parents dispensing out $20 bills.
At the moment you can get that behaviour with "certonly --csr". You'll need to make a CSR file yourself. It'll drop your cert and chain files in the current directory. You'll still have an account key and some other ACME protocol housekeeping state in /etc/letsencrypt.

https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/2373 will track implementation a nicer version of that functionality; it'll probably be --no-lineages (lineages are Certbot's notion of a succession of renewed or updated certificates that replace each other; they live in /etc/letsencrypt/live, though you can put them somewhere else with the --config-dir option)

That is certainly one way. If Amazon is getting product from multiple suppliers, they can easily taint their inventory with a single bad vendor. Then there is always the human element. Amazon has a reputation as a somewhat 'crummy' employer. Warehouse workers, when pressed to meet order/put-away quotas, tend to put inventory in pick locations based on the product type, NOT where the warehouse management system directs them to. (This of course causes all kinds of stock level issues not to mention accounting issues for those third-party suppliers that Amazon is acting as a sell-through for)
I do not believe that Amazon is intentionally buying knock-off products with the intent to scam customers but just based on their physical size & the variety of products that pass through their facilities, it is going to happen.

Back in the late 90's, early 2000's before Amazon was as big as they are now, I worked in the commercial music distribution arm of Sony/BMG. We were the ONLY people that were manufacturing (In our own facilities) CD's for bands on our music labels and yet bootleg copies of CD's were going out Amazon's doors to customers. How? Amazon doesn't keep an abundance of stock on hand. If they run to low, they would buy product for One Stops (at a higher price than we sold to them) because the One Stops could get several thousand CD's in a few hours while an order from our warehouse might take 36 hours to get there. It was a stop gap for them to not go Out Of Stock. Those One Stops should only have been getting their product directly from us also, but no one watched their inventory as closely, and they would at times buy product from unofficial manufacturers. Those One Stops were trying to scam people. (Mostly Mom and Pop CD retailers)

Again, I have not had any problem returning product to Amazon.
Loads of products have fake bad reviews now, left by competition. The next logical step is fake corrections, and fake silly reviews on own product. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the future every product has a 4.75 star average, and the shills instead of bad reviews start writing fake-sounding good ones.
Thanks, this looks better. I'll need to update the post.

The fact that you immediately jumped to the assumption that the only useful thing one could do with glucose testing is to diagnose diabetes or plan insulin doses is indicative of the failure of imagination endemic to the system.

Glucose testing is useful for all kinds of things; the fact that you yourself (and most doctors) don't know that, or think that other people can't be trusted with their own data without some Credentialed Professional to interpret it for them, is both insulting and limiting.

That's why you create a mesh route of various VPN providers. VPN provider 1 knows that you are using it to talk to other VPNs. VPN provider 2 knows that some VPN customer at VPN provider 1 is talking to website X. All the red tape and technical debt should prevent any major problems, if you know what I mean.

I personally just use Usenet for whatever people use VPNs for, I think. If I were doing something that needed to be kept from the NSA, I guess I would use Tor. Or postcards covertly hidden under rocks in public parks or whatever ;)

If the news agency accepted compensation in return for writing the piece, then they are required to disclose it. Relevant FTC guidance:

> A basic truth-in-advertising principle is that it’s deceptive to mislead consumers about the commercial nature of content. Advertisements or promotional messages are deceptive if they convey to consumers expressly or by implication that they’re independent, impartial, or from a source other than the sponsoring advertiser – in other words, that they’re something other than ads. (...) As the FTC Endorsement Guides establish, advertisers’ use of third-party endorsements may be deceptive if there is an undisclosed material connection between the advertiser and the endorser – one that might materially affect the weight or credibility of the endorsement

https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/nat...

https://www.ftc.gov/public-statements/2015/12/commission-enf...

These rules are enforced. For example, Machinima recently settled with the FTC over the fact that Machinima paid endorsers to include footage of the Xbox in reviews and commentary.

There's a joke about Jeepneys.

Q. How many people can you fit in a Jeepney.

A. Always one more.

That joke was funny because it was true. One time I was sitting in a Jeepney and the driver was waiting for the Jeepney to fill. (As the article stated they like to do.) And I was waiting for him to leave because we were already very full. It seemed that people kept coming in. As the article states you sit next to each other "knee to knee". There are two rows to sit on in a Jeepney and they face each other. Also You have to crouch to walk down the aisle between the two rows of the Jeepney to get in. So anyways everyone was squeezing tighter and tighter until there was no way anyone else could squeeze in. The last lady gets on and I'm just sitting there thinking she is just going to turn around and get out like they usually decide to do when it is that full. Nope, she just sits down on some woman's lap and they are complete strangers. Everyone on the Jeepney had a laugh at that. From that point I was convinced that joke was true.

Funny thing, the site linked in the OP is sort of an attempt at that. They look at a type of product, look at reviews, narrow down to a few different models, and test them out, and basically say "get this one."

I actually use their sister site the Sweethome more than the Wirecutter. I tend to be an obsessive prepurchase researcher, and so far I've been happy with their recommendations.
It's worrying that something as harmless as this comes across as a stunt with some ulterior motive. Not everything is a viral marketing campaign.

I've been using OpenJSCAD (demo at http://openjscad.org/) for small parts and really like it. With some work it could probably do what you describe but as far as I can tell no one is using it that way.

The 538 article actually makes a lot of sense and is a pretty decent introduction to a common public health issue.

> Their assertion that tests === diagnostics that map 1:1 to a disease was baseless. Tests don't answer the question "doe patient have diabetes?", they answer the question "what is the patients glucose level?" 115 mg/dl.

Medical tests that aren't actionable aren't useful. So while you're correct in a very narrow sense, you have to use the results to make a decision about treatment. If you're going to make treatment decisions based on tests that have some amount of inherent error, you may end up over or under-treating patients.

> Maybe the patient forgot to fast, maybe the test was a fluke? Either way a consistent average of 85 would put that out of range.

Medical tests have both random and systematic error. What you're talking about is random error (i.e. a single test result being bad). However, many tests have systematic error (i.e. the result being wrong every time the test is taken) just due to personal variation in what's "normal".

The article makes the point that if more tests lead to worse outcomes[1] (due to overtreatment) then adding more tests is useless or worse than useless. This effect is particularly pronounced when testing across large populations, even if the test is highly accurate.

[1] And in many cases they do. For example, early mammogram screenings result in worse outcomes for patients when done across a large population. See http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2480757

This is what I am wondering as well. Both of the banks I have used in the past (one large national, one tiny credit union) have special "youth" checking accounts that can be co-owned by parent and child. Both of these banks had apps that let you transfer money between your own accounts super easily, and like you mentioned, between any accounts at their institutions fairly easily. You mentioned USAA, and I believe they actually let you send money to any old e-mail address (method of transfer depends on recipient and who they bank with).

The banks themselves aren't really sitting on the sidelines and waiting for disruption. Lots of them run "incubators" for their internal teams precisely to stay relevant. Apps like this face a real uphill climb.
Exactly my point!

I remember plenty of cases I got simply from observing the Julia repo for a few months, I could list them if you like... But I've been told by Julia contributors before that discussing this on HN is not an appropriate place. So we can discuss it, where I start linking to public examples on HN, or you can ignore my opinion on a problematic community and we can not discuss it.

As to the code standards, my problem isn't with the CONTRIBUTING.md; that seems fine. It's how people make long term suggestions about fixing lasting problems. As an example people who suggest refactoring large sections of Julia's expansive base library (1600 symbols? a problem that causes parts of the slow startup time and memory usage) into other libraries (which would improve batteries included, etc. features) are summarily ignored / shouted down / (predicated on my previous paragraph) banned. Important improvements to the language go in circles (often on JULEP tagged issues) especially any large improvement that would require multiple people and lots of dev work and seem to gain little traction unless a core dev just takes the time to just do it; rather than a timeline to reach consensus and then design a plan for implementing it.

As smaller examples. There was a push to increase test coverage and then months later commits plummeted the code coverage numbers and no one seemed to care. Sections of important code are uncommented, undocumented, and (mostly) untested on purpose. There are modularity problems and software architecture limitations inherent in the language design that go unaddressed. Unpredictable un-typed exceptions, namespaces/modules being hard to use for non-trivial designs, "interfaces" that aren't really. And these are just the ones without serious work behind them I can remember off the top of my head (the debugger and threading I acknowledge being worked on seriously). Though things being worked on seriously suffer problems as I mentioned earlier.

Issues like these cause many of the original poster's problems. Julia is a great language, but the community seems unable to take the steps it needs to to actually make a "Tier 1" general purpose language (e.g. like python, go, clojure etc.). Setup a serious set of policies regarding language proposals; setup a transparent community policy and actually follow it; acknowledge that certain development idiosyncrasies aren't going to fly anymore; take software architecture concerns seriously; remove the toxic core language dev (that to my count has cost you at least 4 serious contributors if not more).

Julia is likely "slowing down" relative to the expected development (which many people have observed) likely (by my thinking) because it is failing to attract/retain the developers it should be as a promising language (in my opinion) because of it's poor development and community standards.

But hey, these are just my suggestions, I don't have any skin in this game. I just wish Julia was as good as it promised to be, and I'm a bit bitter it isn't for human, rather than technological or financial, reasons.

Edit: Sorry I expanded, it felt unfair to not be more complete about it.

I try not to be too grumpy, but you know, in light of the recent thread on here about paying for online content (bad!), paywalls (also bad!) and anything but static, self-hosted, non-targeted image ads worth probably under 1c cpm (other ads are superbad!) this is sort of the inevitable outcome...

I actually find gawker sites pretty amazing. You can dislike some of what they publish, but they've succeeded at the most important thing: making enough money to pay writers and keep publishing. And they regularly, by accident or not, commit serious acts of journalism!

There are some places where writing kickass software, demonstrating it, and clearly and honestly answering technical questions about it will cause a person to perform effectively in their job.

There are other places - a surprising number of them - where effective internal marketing and sales skills are needed. Those are probably the communication skills that patio11's clients are lacking.
At this point there are many well phrased comments saying most of what I wanted to say - unreliable airport wifi ate a long response a few hours ago - so let me just note that

A) the author is entitled to all their opinions and experiences and

B) raises some good points (see Keno's comment) but

C) raises some subjective (syntax, etc) and odd (measuring performance by timing a one line hello world) points.

Julia is not the right hammer for all nails, but I use it every day and enjoy doing so. If you're on the fence, I encourage you to give it a try. And for what it's worth, end as a keyword aside, I really like the syntax, particularly :: type decorators. Your mileage may vary.
> Are you telling me that to "make a marketable product" you would need to pay 10 engineers $100k for a year?

Engineering, product design, graphic design (these are not the same), marketing, and sales are all needed in various proportions, depending on the product, to make a "marketable product." Between all of those roles you could easily chew up $1million in 1 year when you account for e.g. ~2x salary:total cost of employee ratio and standard Silicon Valley compensation levels.
Maybe, but your point is nothing more than heresay.

What is being proposed by ubeam is like lifting a 50 ton rocket with 10 tons of thrust. It doesn't really matter what future physics we have, fundamentally its impossible as stated. Bringing future physics into the mix is moving goalposts in an attempt to appear open minded. The rockets never going to lift off with 1/5 of its mass in thrust.

In this story, I learned that generic drugs are never exactly the same:

Based on his comments, it seems that the MediaSource APIs are not sufficient for low latency, and most Android devices don't have HW VP[89] encoder support.
It also lets the restaurant advertise a lower cost of goods to the customer upfront to get them in the seat and the true cost isn't presented until you're done.

And that might be why the non-tipping restaurants noticed a drop in revenue. If you look at the menus side-by-side, especially if you are familiar with the place and what things cost there, the non-tipping one will appear to be much more expensive.

They also do not own github issues. The tone and content of all the replies is pretty bad, and, like, yeah, I'm no longer supporting Yubico either as a result.
One of my first jobs out of college I was stuck on a bug for several days and I was very obviously in panic mode with a deadline looming. An older engineer agreed to help me if I met him at his office at 7am. Up bright and early he greeted me at his office door and immidiately asked me to demo the bug. After seeing that I had a grasp of the issue he didn't try to troubleshoot. He just smiled and said, "You'll figure it out. Just ask yourself what is one thing you could do right now to get closer to solving the problem. That's what I always do and something always comes to me." With that he stood up to indicate the conversation was over and escorted me out of his office. I'm 35 now and it hasn't failed me yet.

it is true that you cannot update the code, though the neo before the yubikey 4 was still running java applets and they had already disabled the possibility to update the code by requiring the yubico private company key (they're still using java applets).

the original neo let you decide of the key/write to the neo, etc.

Thus they did not "disable it because of hardware", it is a choice of their, which they had already made for a year or two anyway.
