The alias file is indeed overwritten on every invocation, but tag doesn't attempt to clean up stale aliases from previous invocations. I figured it wasn't really worth implementing this since, as far as I know, shells don't slow down from having "too many aliases".

Pretty cool and useful, thanks for sharing.

I wonder, what did you use as a db? Since you started with a spreadsheet, you could just use that. Google Spreadsheet has a json api that you can query directly from your web app.

I did it for http://hasgluten.com, if you want to see it in practice (hosted for free on github). Easier to keep the "backend" updated, since you just have to edit the spreadsheet.
Then Walgreens should fail and come to be replaced by a pharmacy chain which one way or another depends on input from a competent pharmacist (whether they are equivalent of "CTO", or board of pharmacist advisors, or whatever works).

But according to a very relevant ArsTechnica article[0], they thought to do due diligence, failed to do so, and then in a fit of unicorn mania did the deals anyway:

Theranos failed to hand over an Edison to researchers hired by Walgreens to kick the tires and ensure it worked correctly, despite initially agreeing to do so. The young company, initially valued at $9 billion, didn’t even allow Walgreens executives to enter its lab or walk around the company’s headquarters without a chaperone, the WSJ reports.

Theranos did provide an Edison prototype and sample testing kits to a Walgreens executive. But the machine only spit out test results such as “low” and “high” so that Walgreens couldn’t compare the results to standard blood testing equipment. Nevertheless, Walgreens moved forward with a deal, partly out of anxiety that Theranos might partner with a competitor.

We moved from Python to Go. With Python behind uwsgi->nginx, we'd try to tune the number of uwsgi processes to cores, and it was easy to scale up based on process=number of concurrent requests handled. With Go, every request is handled concurrently, being much more efficient with cores and RAM. I found that my requests/core were being artificially limited by RAM in an autoscaling group (we had scaling triggered at about avg 80% CPU) so I let some more RAM play.

Now, instead of 15-20 c3.medium servers at peak, we run three c3.xlarge instances at peak. I can be sure that the larger server will handle more concurrent requests than process-restricted uwsgi, and thus be able to better allocate the resources given to us by larger instances.

The fixtures aren’t the only important variable. It also helps to reduce the amount of short-wavelength (“blue”) light, and overall reduce the brightness of street lamps. Most LED streetlamps are absolutely awful, even when shielded, and far brighter than necessary for nighttime lighting (hint: human eyes are really good at adapting to low light levels).

On my street in San Francisco, the street lamps were replaced last year with LED lamps. The new lamps are shielded to only direct light downward and sideways, not upward, but because they are at least 2–3 times brighter than the previous street lamps, and have a ton of output in the blue part of the spectrum (4000K CCT), they actually create more light pollution in the sky than the previous lamps, because they reflect a ridiculous amount of light off the street. They’re also blinding in the peripheral vision of pedestrians and drivers, and they make the street feel like some kind of industrial warehouse. Bleh.
Actually, "natural rights" or at least "rights of citizens" is an ancient idea that goes back at least as far as Ancient Greece and further developed in Republican Rome. It was revived greatly with the writings of Machiavelli (who, when you read not only The Prince or The Art of War, but also his Discourses on Livy, was arguably the most ardent republican of the Renaissance). These ideas were picked up by Locke and others and greatly influenced the thinking of the Founding Fathers (please don't downvote me just for calling them that; I'm old).

The U.S. Constitution was the culmination of centuries of thinking about political power and is remarkable for its distrust of absolute power. Unfortunately, that distrust has been slowly eroded over the last nearly two-and-a-half centuries, beginning with Marbury v. Madison and currently at such a state that presidents enter into war without an act of Congress, judges make law from the bench, and Congress dictates to the executive which cabinet positions must be filled.

It was a great experiment, but actually already a failed one in the sense of the original debate back in the 1770s and '80s.

Yahoo mail not supporting + added to email address, locked out of hn account
I added an email address to my hn account, using xxxxx+hn@yahoo.com. I am unable to remember my password, and Yahoo is not recognizing the +hn email address as valid so I can't receive the password reset email. I verified by sending myself an email to the same account, which bounced back.

HN does not verify the email address on the profile, and I assumed incorrectly that Yahoo supported this format.

Is there any way I can have the +hn removed from my hn account?

It's not just Intel you're trusting, it's the OEMs, who also have an EXTREMELY poor record. Just take a look at the ENORMOUS number up BMC and auto-update vulnerabilities. They really just either couldn't care less, or are deliberately making machines vulnerable. Things are being pushed into IME, that aren't optional, often aren't wanted by users (or snuck in there so they wouldn't know), don't all have to be there, can't be verifiably disabled or overriden by end users. Even if it weren't backdoored (unlikely), it presents an ENORMOUS attack surface at the very worst possible privilege level. Open source designs that are at least inspectable by researchers would be a start. But more importantly - allowing users to CHOOSE whether they want to override software (it IS after all software and not hardware). Why shouldn't we be permitted to run Libreboot etc on modern hardware and know that when we turn a machine off, that it's off, without unplugging network, power cables, batteries, etc?
Agreed. I've had this `git grep`-based solution in my `~/.gitconfig` for a while now. It's a bit tidier, but not as featureful.

[alias]
grepgvim = "!f() { git grep -l \"$@\" | xargs gvim -p; }; f"

It seems "Tag" is a little fancier in that it lets you go to specific matching lines, for the specific match. Tag is a command-line equivalent to `git cola grep <pattern>`, where you can select the matches visually in a GUI (with keyboard shortcuts) and then launch $EDITOR (e.g. gvim) on the matching line.

To the Tag author, maybe users would find this tidier if `tag` let you edit matches directly by invoking e.g. `tag func -e 96` and tag will do the rest?

In such a scheme someone could even set the alias file to `/dev/null` and it'd allow both the current workflow and a new one that didn't rely on aliases.
> When you are truly comfortable in yourself, you won't feel the need to convince others that this is so.

Maybe I'm an introvert or something. I'm not trying to say that spending more time alone is good for everyone. But as someone who is comfortable spending time alone I know it's looked down on by much of society. This is even implied by your comment... Why else would I be uncomfortable with it? I also smoke pot. I'm comfortable with it and I regularly tell people: Unlike they told you in DARE, it won't kill you.

I am very averse to your line of thinking. Generalized and applied indiscriminately it implies that a person should never feel motivated to articulate any opinion they authentically possess.
I saw this comment was downvoted and I figured you were trolling or something, but then I looked and there's a legit mystery there.

There are two big masses of lights, one off the coast of Peru and one off the coast of Argentina, that aren't connected to any landmasses whatsoever. Look 250 km W of Barranca (which is north of Lima on the Peruvian coast), and for the rest, start with the Falklands and look for a cluster 100 km north, one 150-200 km northwest, and one 100 km west.

The cluster off of Peru might be displaced from the Ecuadorian islands to the north -- the shape looks vaguely similar to the islands Isabela, Fernandina, Santiago, Santa Cruz, and San Cristobal (at around 0 deg N, 90 deg W).

I suspect the cluster near the Falklands has been displaced about 300 km to the southeast -- the "ring" just north of the Falklands matches the area around Comodoro Rividavia, the western cluster matches Isla Wellington, and the northern inverted-Y shape seems to roughly follow highways 26/40 in the western part of south Argentina.

EDIT: I moved around a bit more and noticed there are lots of faint streaks off of the coasts of South America, including a fairly big blob just east of Rio. I don't know whether it's browser-specific or something screwy on the backend.

EDIT 2: while most of my local area (Denver) looked sane, I noticed a bright cluster near Hereford, CO (around 41 N, 104 W) and that's just pure farmland. The map shows [0] in the middle of a fairly heavily light-polluted area.

I'm in the Detroit area as well, and about 10 years ago I almost ended up in the SF bay area. In retrospect, I'm glad I didn't. I work for one of the big 3 and while I don't make nearly what I would if I was out on the west coast, I'm comfortable financially, have a place that fits me well and -- as you know -- there's a ton of non-work-y things to do. Particularly if you like the outdoors...

I'd give a move like that serious thought, especially if you can land something decent in the area. The salary delta will more than be eaten by what you'll pay for rent. The hardest part in our area is finding comparable social stuff, but it's really not that hard... There's tons of like-minded people around.
This seems like some sort of a strange failure of capitalism - I mean, the money is there, why can't it be allocated correctly? If the big brains in silicon valley riding the wave are unable or unwilling to set their egos/greed aside and figure this out, maybe the government should step in and take over allocation of taxes, where buildings are built, etc for the entire region. I'm pretty hard right but if capitalists can't get their shit together, bring on the central planning. But what if that fails? Tough luck, you had more money than you knew what to do with and plenty of time to do it, take it as a lesson to the next bubble.
I have a small office in a large closet upstairs that I use at night for work, my SO has a converted room downstairs as her office for her home business, so there's not a lot of cross traffic. Unfortunately, that means she IM's me quite a bit, which since it's even lower cost than walking 20-30 feet if she's already at a computer, I'm not entirely sure isn't worse. :/

Backpropatation can also be likened to creating feature attributes in a vector which are scored and ranked making for rich continuously valued vectors which can then be compared (or treed) for similarity using experimental methods.
The problem is you still have to show up and be an unproductive body in a chair during normal hours (especially if you work for a "progressive" company that talks a lot about how you don't need to keep regular hours) in order to get status points and be seen working. Then you have to stay late or work extra remotely to get the actual work done. So then you're just trading the productivity loss of an unhealthy, poor workspace for the productivity loss of unhealthy, poor hours, fatigue, and burnout risk.
I, too, typically despise most brutalist architecture. But the D.C. Metro is brutalist, and I think it was done exceedingly well. It's one of the greatest pieces of architecture I've personally experienced. And by experience, I mean both the individual stations as well as the stations collectively.

Sadly, subsequent modifications fell far short of the original vision, which I couldn't even begin to put into words myself.

For example, installation of waiting time displays broke up the cavernous open space.

I almost cried when I first saw (after returning to D.C.) how some of the stations had red lights along the platform instead of the original off-white. The lack of color is part and parcel of the brutalist design; adding color gives the same effect as graffiti.

The steel and glass coverings over the escalators, while nice in themselves, don't echo the brutalist style, either, though admittedly I have no idea how that could have been accomplished. I'd give the designers an A for effort.

The newer extensions don't echo the design faithfully, which really detracts from the overall feel. What made the original design work so well was the repetition--both within each station, and across stations.. If you're not going echo it faithfully, then don't even try. It's like expanding the scene in an existing painting by using crayon and crude shapes. Better to switch to another design altogether so that it's clear you've left one artistic environment and entered another.

I think the D.C. Metro is both amazing in its own right, and an example of how brutalism can be used to great effect. The Metro is imposing, yes, but not confrontational; both efficient and inspiring. It's probably not a coincidence that by dint of the architecture being almost entirely underground, both the functional and esthetic elements work in harmony. Most brutalist architecture has horribly poorly functional interiors which were sacrificed for the benefit of the exterior "statement", which makes it suck for everybody inside and outside.

That's how I imagine it would be for me. I don't use social media on my phone at all, it's either used for communicating (voice or IM), or I'm using it to read an article or comments here (but I very rarely reply using it. It's frustrating at best). I view my checking of HN on my phone as distinctly different than social media, because I'm not checking because the feed is engaging, I'm checking looking to some specific engaging item to them settle into and digest.

5 Antique Items That Will Wow Your Wedding Guests
All those Glassdoors reviews talking about long hours of work, working late, and for what? What did all those people work those long hours for? For complete failure. Theranos is in shambles, and these people signed up to work and work late at a company that was a fraud. Requiring employees to work late, or to strongly encourage that kind of behavior is a huge red flag for me when looking for work. People wasted hours of their life at this place, away from family and friends and personal time, all for Theranos, a name that's a joke now.

Don't map your reducers/actions to the components... map them to the data/features they are tied to. If you organize by feature, you don't really have to have your actions/dispatchers sitting with your components, but you can where it makes sense.
A couple of factors -- I'm not a recently out of school grad, I got my first job working as an engineer at a startup at 17, and worked at some other startups while in school (full time, not co-op), so I've got at least 12 years of experience (not including some of those early jobs) spread between a handful of startups and some much bigger organizations. I'm technically not just an engineer -- I also have some management duties at work. I also have a spouse who works full time, but earns significantly less working in a finance related role. This is a big factor WRT to take home pay -- marginal tax rates are a killer, and a second income puts that income in much lower tax brackets.

When it was time to look (mid 2014), we were pre-approved for an irresponsible amount (very low debt load, don't own a car, etc), took that number and cut a few hundred thousand off, and went looking for somewhere where we could put more than 10% down. When it came time to do the mortgage, which was admittedly handled by a family friend, they arranged to float a top up to 20% to skip CMHC fees (we end up paying the bank a few thousand in interest, but save tens of thousands we would've had to pay in mortgage insurance). All said and done, the mortgage plus other financing costs us about the same as a nice studio apartment in San Francisco. In about 3 years we'll have the extra financing paid off, and our mortgage will cost us less than sharing an apartment in SF.

As far as lifestyle/savings goes, not really. My wife has always been a great saver, plus while her current gig is a bit stodgy it does come with some old fashioned benefits (like a DB pension along with a DC pension on top). We go on frequent trips, enjoy dinner around the city on a regular basis, and other things.

edit: I'd also like to add that you have to be picky, and be picky about the right things. Our place had some cosmetic damage and beat up appliances included (cheap things to fix, relative to the price of a house). We only paid a bit more than $100k extra for a 3 bedroom freehold townhouse (no condo fees, we own the actual land and building) compared to a 2 bedroom stacked townhouse that was literally half the square footage and came with a $400 monthly condo fee in the same neighbourhood. That was a new build, while ours was from 2009, about 5 years old at the time. Several of the other units in the complex have sold since we moved in, at hundreds of thousands over what we paid for our unit just 2 years ago. It feels like the market was discounting some easily fixed issues with appearance at a huge premium over the actual cost of the repairs and new appliances. The listing online was also DREADFUL. It really looked terrible in the online photos compared to an in-person viewing.

Huh? It isn't capitalism that is preventing high density housing from being built. The shortage of affordable housing is the inevitable result of regulation by government (zoning laws).
2.0x is the entry-level package in SF now a days.
> Without demand, the test for pricing power (the ability to raise prices from some level at which there are nonzero sales without losing sales) cannot be satisfied -- you can't have market power with no market.

In theory that's the test, but it doesn't actually work. In practice market power isn't binary. There is always a substitute for anything if you jack the price up high enough. And a monopolist would jack the price right up to that point, so that increasing it any more would cost sales.

But the zero volume case is the divide by zero case anyway. A test isn't going to give you a yes or no, it's going to give you NaN. That doesn't mean there is no market power, it only means you can't tell without a buyer. And in the patent case, as soon as there is a buyer there is market power.
There's nothing capitalist about zoning. What you are seeing is central planning in action.
You can include the entire "extended" golden horseshoe area (all the way to K/W and Peterborough) and you've still got only 8.7 million people in 12,185 square miles [1]. By the way, I was already using the golden horseshoe area already (Hamilton, etc.) since I used _seven_ million, not _six_.

There are simply more people in the Chicago area. By a decent margin. There's nothing wrong with that. I think this is a thing for Torontonians because of the perpetual inferiority complex we Canadians [2] have with respect to the U.S. :)

Dashcam footage of cop tasing, dragging, and dropping teen is unsealed
I haven't seen the movie but I have read the synopsis. And those "that changed for the movie" you mention is probably the background information of Warcraft1 that was added as flashback in Warcraft3. However, that was still a patch job for what was already written one dimensionally, hence still rather one dimensional despite the improvement. In short, what I meant as "based off warcraft1" is including the extra information from warcraft3, which understandably is still weak in story.
That sounds boring, like a newspaper.
I don't see it. For all the problems in Japan, young people seem happy and content and their prospects seem much better than prospects of young people in USA. I look at USA and see millions of people living miserable lives with no way to escape.

Yes, the corporate culture is terrible but some people decide not to participate (job availability went up recently but unemployment didn't go down). Some people are putting the foot down and things are slowly changing.

You can point at suicide rate, I'll point at police brutality in US, the mass shootings, rampant drug problems (including painkiller epidemic), obesity, health problems (how many people are on disability?).

So when you come out and say how terrible life is in Japan, have a good hard look at the land of the free. From what I see there's no milk and honey left for 99% of the people.
