When you chose to leave Michigan, were you faced with endemic discrimination while looking for a place to live? While buying a home? While shopping? While walking around town doing nothing wrong? While driving while black?

It's not that Black people's choices are bad, it's the racist responses to those choices that are the problem.
I've actually seen some video play anyway despite having parent elements / own elements blocked.

I block the source video content networks or whatever they're called, in /etc/hosts or equivalent. Those should be addable as custom blocklists in uBlock Origin as well. See following post higher up this thread.
Debugging Journal. Though to be honest, it's hard to stick to this habit. When I do make entries, they are of the form:

- Symptoms (how is the bug manifesting)
- Initial Observations (This is where you dig into the code/debugger and write down all the weird things that are happening)
- Guess (A statement of what you think is causing this based on your observations)
- Fix (what change you made)
- Result (Did it fix the bug? Did some new bug pop up as a result?)
- Repeat till bug resolved

Obviously, it's hard to keep writing so meticulously about bugs, but it sure does help when something similar pops up again.
I already am. That's why mentioned 'many factors involved'. Thanks!
It is perhaps an artifact of the bay area but there are many many Tesla vehicles here and many of them seem to use the superchargers for charging[1]. But the question of pollution and CO2 comparisons between ICE vehicles and electric ones, comes down firmly on the side of the electric vehicles (for the case of California at least). The thermal efficiency of converting gas to electricity is over 47% and the closest an ICE can come is about 38%. Lots of additional information from the EIA here [2].

[1] A friend of mine who owns one said the only thing worse than the 20 minute charge time is waiting 20 minutes to plug into an available spot.

I used to do that too :) it makes it more bearable. I used to love coding, but I've always missed the real world when I was in that bubble, and now that I'm not working anymore, it somehow feels more right, it's weird.
my admittedly anecdotal experiences working with JSONB in Postgres: coding is generally easy and performance is great, it even plays nice with ORMs like hibernate (with just a bit more work). the downside is the query syntax: for complex queries where you need to search within the JSON, it's hard to write correct SQL. it's a trial-and-error process and the error messages aren't that great. once you get it working you're fine, but it can be hard to get there sometimes.
Ok. I'll be the guy to bring up the Elixir/Erlang ideology that has gained such popularity here. Although I don't have a ton of experience with it yet it seems like the possibility of having the idea of "services" built into the language/framework design is very realistic. That's exciting for me. Although true SOA can be a mix of many technologies I personally find that scary. What happens when your whole platform ends up as a web of services on different technologies and you lose various talent? Now you have to recruit all kinds of different expertise or hope that certain services keep ticking without that knowledge in house.
Or a hillbilly!
> Case in point are the tremendous number of bankrupt alternative energy companies built upon favorable treatment by the government

That's like saying the top VC firms are all inept because most of the startups they fund fail.

It has often been the role of our government to make risky bets in order to advance step-changes in our society's progress. Those bets have resulted in such things as spaceflight, modern telecommunications, lasers and the internet to name just a few.

If Tesla indeed transforms the world as they are poised to do, their success will far exceed the cumulative failures of Solyndra and the like.

Not to mention, Tesla's competition are subsidized in many ways, most of which are more subtle than the tax credits for alternative fuels that you allude to. Failure to price in the health and climate externalities of fossil fuels amounts to subsidy, as do the trillions of dollars spent on overseas entanglements to secure fossil fuel supplies.
> Honestly, Trump and Hillary aren't that different. He's a little less of a warhawk, speaks his mind, and is pro-2A.

They differ massively on energy and climate. Trump makes coal and oil a major focus, and wants to repeal most environmental rules that affect them. Trump would cancel the Paris agreement.

Clinton will be similar to Obama in these areas.
Yep, sublimely beautiful.
Ask HN: Do you use Dagger/Dagger2 in your web/desktop Java project?

I wanted to give it a creative twist, sad it turned out dramatic. And I agree with you. Sometimes what motivates you brings you down due to the burden of expectations.
I know right? The fact that the metric makes absolute sense is beautiful. Yes it probably misses out on a ton of factors that contribute to ranking (see TIOBE index metrics) but the transparency and simplicity of it all make up for it. You can directly see how each metric is contributing to the factor and the numbers are very easily verifiable.
The most effective way I've found to disable autoplay is to simply block the video content networks which provide these. At my last update, it was a rather small set. This is particularly effective against large media sites (and yes, it means you'll need to unblock to see the video content, if you wish to).

Alternatively, uMatrix should allow you to globally blacklist, then optionally whitelist same.
Keep this in mind should you ever be inclined to consider a security-based start-up.

People simply don't care.
If you run an older version of OS X, does Apple supply security updates? How far back?

I run Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.5) on one of my systems. For the longest time, whenever I click "Software Update", it says that there are no updates (though it does offer OS X El Capitan as an upgrade).

I can understand that Apple or any company doesn't want to support old software indefinitely, but if security updates are available as separate packages--without having to do a major OS upgrade--then you'd think that "Software Update" should offer it!
Endemic discrimination while renting an apartment? Nope.

Owning a house? Haven't achieved that yet, but I haven't exactly been trying.

While shopping? Nope.

Walking around town? Nope.

Driving? If I'm speeding and/or driving like an idiot, I get attention from the cops. My driving record isn't exactly squeaky clean, but each infraction is because I was making the choice to not follow the rules of the road.

Sorry if my experience doesn't fit a different narrative, but in my experience if I'm looking/acting like an idiot I get treated as such. Nothing that is outside of my control though.
I for one think Pyramid should be recommended over Flask.

I would choose Pyramid over Django if I want to customize and do everything myself. Whereas if I want a very active and very mature community of plugins, I would stick with Django. When it comes to a secure framework out of the box, Django is definitely the winner out of all Python web framework.

I used lots of surplus parts from eBay, collected over 5-6 years. The actual build process took a few months of pretty focused night/weekend work (10-20 hours per week). Total cost was around $1500. Details here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6HxTk9tfQk
At some point in the near future the AI itself will be posting blog posts about its achievements.

Are you uninterested in familiarizing yourself with the data that show that people of color have an unfairly different, damaging, and too often deadly experience?
My experience says, flask is a better choice, if you anticipate lots of changes in tech needs(like, async webservers, heavy UX customization in workflow etc....) then flask (or other micro web-frameworks) are useful. If not you can go with django and build the rest around it. However, django over the recent years have been making an effort to make their stuff more plug-and-play style..
hstore are very different from JSON in the sense that they are a flat key/value structure, which is exactly what a record/row in the database is. This is why you have operators to convert and combine hstore values and actual records.

The ability to diff might come at some point, but interest for it is probably low because of the purpose of JSONB. Diffing works best for similar structure, and if you're storing things with similar structure in postgres, I doubt you're going to use JSONB. Diffing deep trees is also very costly.
That's of course incorrect. Amazon doesn't lose money on every sale. Their business is profitable and generates a lot of cash. Their retail business is also profitable. They lose money in retail only on new segments and similar, not on the older existing segments. That has been well known about them for years now.

For fiscal 2015 they were positive on net income: $596 million.

Q1 2016: $513 million in net income

They'll be generating $3 billion in annual net income in just another year. Sounds like a business to me, even if half of that net income comes from AWS.

I think in general, people seem to prefer character...at least some do. This is why people are so anti-sprawl, not just because of pollution and unwalkable-ness, etc, but because they lack character.

Even if you had a perfect, walkable, sustainable, 22nd century community with chi and all that, if it seems like Commune 2A, people won't be as crazy about it as say, a flat in NYC or a cobblestone street in Europe. Not that everyone can afford such places (I can't), but something near a sense of place probably is 80% of people's desires.
the way i've always looked at it is that django was python's answer to RoR, and it was great at the time, but it doesn't embrace decorators or context locals--two things which make the flask API beautiful.

and, when you compare sqlalchemy to django's ORM -- Sqlalchemy is more powerful. i can't give specific reasons why. I think zzzeek is just insanely focused and that beat out design by committee. (mitsuhiko too incidentally). maybe that's wrong, just my intuition. sqlalchemy is probably the best orm in _any_ language.

there's a huge django community that would disagree, but you don't see concrete reasons why django is better than flask, but flask is better than django for the simple reasons i mention.

they're not different meant for large and small apps. everything django can do flask can do better, cleaner, simpler.
The doc does say this: "If you’re choosing a Python interpreter to use, and aren’t opinionated, then I recommend you use the newest Python 3.x, since every version brings new and improved standard library modules, security and bug fixes. Progress is progress."
A while back. It was fairly clear to me that they thought they were going to herd everyone into a walled garden with their surface/ windows 8 RT strategy which obviously did not work. They had planned to muddle the market so customers would accidently buy an RT table instead of a full PC tablet. RT tablets could only install from an app store. That didn't really work and about that time is when Ballmer said fuck it and handed the company over to people who have no comprehension of western ideals about what is culturally acceptable when it comes to privacy. Original Microsoft was built from an environment that grew up with the fourth amendment, a valid functioning legal system, etc. Current Microsoft culture is wholly international and reflects the lack of privacy culture, civil rights, and government restraint in many countries represented in large numbers at Microsoft.
It's kinda meaningless to look at the hypothetical future with automated cars all around (how far away is that? at least a decade, I'd bet), and assume that the current distribution of power sources still applies.

"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." (Bertrand Russell)

Back when I was still an employee, I strove to take a more intermediate tact that let me be more vocal about technical direction. What's surprising is how willingly people with authority will listen to what you have to say, once they realize you know what you're doing. I've also been fortunate to have had roles that enabled that in the first place. And now I'm trying my hand at entrepreneurship, which feels practically utopian :)
Most higher end VCRs could handle PAL/NTSC/SECAM formats just fine. I was sent some US (NTSC) tapes when I was in Australia.

Most newer (from around 1990) Australian PAL TVs could handle NTSC 60Hz 525 line video signal too.
They do this for bugs that are easily reproducible on all versions of these products as well.

I received a similar response to a bug report a few years back, it had been open for a couple of years without even being acknowledged, then one day they decided to close it with a form letter listing possible reasons. People continued to upvote it, and finally 3 1/2 years after it was filed it finally got fixed. No interaction from anyone at MS other than the form response, and the final status change. I've filed about a dozen bugs reports on connect - and this is one of the few 'success' stories, sadly.

User engagement at MS is very broken.
G-G-GP said "When people complain about shitty urban areas ... they're basically complaining about the state of the urban center which white people created when they moved out decades ago."

I said, "Tell me how a person's absence means they're at fault for what happens to a place after they're gone". I've achieved some level of economic success since I moved myself out of 'the hood'. The implication I'm picking up on is that the blight that has continued/worsened since I've left is somehow, inexplicably, my fault for not sticking around. Please, explain how that is or is not the case.

Ah, you're right. Rather than living in one of the most stable and wealthy societies on the planet, we're actually falling fast towards a Mad Max-style dystopia. I must remember to weld some more armour onto my car tonight...

Just because we're not living in an impossible utopia doesn't mean the situation is dire. We haven't had great leadership since the Hawke/Keating years (over 20 years ago), yet still the country is going grand - not having great leadership doesn't mean we must be having the polar opposite.

You got the Google part wrong. Google is all in on microservice architecture and has over a decade of experience doing it. There is not some gigantic google.exe program. Perhaps you have heard that Google uses a single source code repo and drew an incorrect conclusion.
Dense urban areas create anxiety for me, while suburbs give the nice quiet retreat with plenty of open space, and no random annoyances. I bet I'm not alone in this. Don't assume that your subjective personal experiences translate to everyone.

Here's a question for you. If suburbs are "the least optimal configuration", then why did urban sprawl occur in the first place? Why did so many people leave the cities and sought bigger homes on wider lots?
Great idea thanks for sharing! Using gmail as a journal though does seem to contradict the message in this article because by using Gmail, while it is extremely efficient, it's not 100% private. Maybe it's just my own paranoia but I feel like you would even more fall into that disconnect "between what I thought I was supposed to feel (what a normal person would feel) and what I actually felt." Or maybe I'm interpreting this article incorrectly?

DARPA et al do not represent an analogous scenario. As for portfolio theory: I'm not questioning something that fundamental. I'm saying the government has little to no hope of deploying it efficiently. If you had a technocracy of highly intelligent people perfectly resilient to corruption, then this might be a different story. And if you know anything about VC, you know that there's a long tail of failing ones that underperform standard benchmarks (you probably do know; that's why you said "top VCs"). Also, if you want to view USG market interventionism as an aggregate portfolio, guess which way that's going to go.

I love it when people champion entities like Tesla benefiting from incentive structures when it's conveniently aligned with their personal beliefs about the superiority of the tech industry, their political agendas, and/or the idolzation of people like Musk, but forget that there's a far broader and more insidious reality here.

Reply to Below: Not libertarian. I believe strongly in government regulations where appropriate and that limiting our personal liberties in certain ways is essential to guaranteeing economic and physical security. I happen to agree with the sustainability agenda as well. I disagree with the mechanism being employed to advance it. USG should instead focus on taxing/penalizing for carbon emissions as a negative externality, which would have an ancillary benefit of making alternative energy companies overall more competitive. Asking the government to make decisions about structuring incentives, by contrast, is positively asinine (you get things like ethanol). Furthermore, I have a serious problem with the government deploying tax dollars to directly benefit corporations when there is no immediate and tangible return, regardless of the context.
This is a huge problem and you're right, Tesla is set up well to solve this. Think of a buying experience where you stick a pack on the roof, and only have to run two cables, one for the house and one for your garage. The roof unit could contain the batteries, panels, inverter hardware, and cooling system. Not exactly unboxing a Mac, but with some creative thinking I bet they could find a way to sidestep enough of the painful parts.

My issue with this is simply: what kind of profession is this if you have to decide you want to "join up" as a teenager or you're shut out for the rest of your adult life? I was pretty obsessed in my youth, and I didn't have nearly the toolset available to kids today, but we need to move past this teenage hacker stereotype if we want to attract more attention from serious, well-balanced adults on career day.

Car2Go has a deal setup with the city of Seattle. You can leave the car just about anywhere it is publicly legal (that means no private lots, tow zones or driveways). Car2Go pays the city 5 million dollars to allow cars to park on metered streets. Makes it super convenient.

Your mention of "invention of logarithms" raises a couple of questions.

First: is there a good, accessible (college calculus, some diff eq, some linear algebra) history of mathematics you might recommend?

Second: I've been kicking around an ontology of technological dynamics (or mechanisms) for a few months. In it I classify mathematics under symbolic representation and manipulation, along with what I see as related tools of speech, language, writing, logic, programming, and AI. If that sets off any lights, bells, or whistles, I'd be happy to hear ideas or references.

I'm not running an OS written in Python. I'm processing some data. I control the data and I'm doing it all locally. Security is very low on my list of concerns. And I'm using libraries that aren't and may never be updated to Python 3. Ideally they would be. If I get ambitious maybe I'll even be the one to do it. For other things, I use Python 3.

The article is talking to me. To paraphrase: Use Python 3 unless you have a good reason to use Python 2.

That advice is solid and not really a recommendation of Python 2.
