Ew. What I'm noticing is the opposite trend: "yeah, we got showers installed."

(While a long-term trend away from sterile-squeaky-clean might be useful, I still have a strong emotional aversion to "sweaty at console": I'm not comfortable that way if it's me, plus everyone starts smelling when sweaty. At one job, I even washed up quickly using the hand sink, just to avoid this)

The open question does not always work. I'd say it never works, even.

If I take "coaching" attitude, I will take attitude of sports coach - observe, measure and explain why corrective action is needed. The action itself is a choice, mostly, but manager and coach should present a basis for it.

Continuing my my rant, I emphasize that manager and coach are external to the team, they view performance from outside (and often prohibited to look under the hood). This is the reason why open questions do not work - difference in view points creates difference in the context.
BABA wasn't public back then, though. It was inherently hard to value.
From the abstract:

> The synthesis algorithm takes a generate-and-test approach: it generates an infinite stream of all the expressions having the same type as f; then, they are tested against the given predicate.

I'm really impressed that such a simple approach works. Initially I thought it was something similar to FOIL[0]. FOIL was a program that could learn function definitions by examples. One version of FOIL was able to solve exercises from a Prolog book. For one of the exercises, it was able to come up with a solution that was shorter than what humans had previously come up with. I don't remember exactly how FOIL worked, but if I recall correctly, it would repeatedly add predicates to it's currently best solution while trying to maximize the number of test cases which it had solved correctly.

Really, any audio editor would do.

But you should look into Max/MSP ( https://cycling74.com/products/max/ ), where you could build and bundle a simple audio app like that in minutes and have it tailored to your specific needs.

Just wanted to add that shaders lend themselves very well to the functional / dataflow paradigm. There are numerous visual node-based shader editing tools where you construct shaders from blocks, which essentially are pure functions.

In fact, you're making the same mistake investors did: Believing Nintendo made a foray into smartphone games. Nintendo did not make Pokémon Go, nor is it receiving much profit from it. Niantic, Google, and Apple are all getting the lion's share of the profit, Pokémon Company gets a bit of it too, but then Nintendo only gets a fraction of that.
It's a mistake from the manufacturers perspective too.

Because they don't have a proper QA procedure at the software level, they fear change and have to keep maintaining an in-house snapshot of a archaic ecosystem. They spend and more keeping the obsolete system going, because they have in past years made the cost of upgrading higher and higher.

Eventually they get forced into ground-up rewrites, with all their predictable problems.
I would argue that sj only critiqued things that he genuinely felt needed to be changed. Though he was also demonstrably the worst manager one could have so I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from him.
These escort site ad reviews are mentioned in the article as being the exception in terms of erotic content. Regardless of sexual explicitness though, all the men appear to be of legal age. How are you concluding 'child pornography and solicitation thereof'?
I would assume both are highly situation dependent.

If things seem to be going relatively well, and you've already taken $10-20-50m off the table, what's the point in selling? At that point it's only really cash in a bank account that you then need to manage and reinvest. Obviously, if you feel the wheels are going to come flying off, sell.

Same for a college degree. If you're a self motivated person and a learner, you don't need it. But if you need your hand held, you won't achieve much. Degree or no degree. More than anything this has to with the person and his/her work ethic and intellectual curiosity.
Half a year ago I used a Google Apps for Business account for pretty much the same things (minus Blogspot, domains, voice, plus address book and Hangouts).

Now I only have a non-apps account for Google Scholar. Besides that I have moved everything off Google. The most painful thing was losing all paid Android apps, but since I planned on moving back to iOS again I took the loss. All the other stuff was not hard: I switched to Fastmail for e-mail, who have a nice migration tool, calendars and contacts are on iCloud (since my wife uses iCloud as well), files are on Dropbox.

If possible, I would like to switch away from Dropbox to something that is end-to-end encrypted. We used Bittorrent Sync for quite some time, but I had serious problems in the last few versions (basically, it corrupted its own metadata and re-added all shares from scratch). Syncthing is not really an option (too hard to share with family/colleagues).

3B has pretty much the same GPU (it might be upclocked), so shaders won't work much better.

ARM really improved memory bandwidth from the A7 to A53 uncore bits, which probably helps as much as the CPU speed bumps... at the cost of it running quite a bit hotter.

I read an Anandtech article where they compared Samsung arm32 to arm64 chips, and the benchmark differences were actually quite similar to Pi2->3.
> In a nutshell, at university I would fail a paper if I didn’t compare at least two, if not three opposing views on a topic. Taking one telling of events as gospel doesn’t wash in the comparative analytical method of research that forms the core of British academia.

I thought this was a great line. I wish people could bring this into general thinking and journalism. Showing some understanding, and then likely empathy, to other views is likely one of the best things we can introduce to being a more peaceful and generally better world.
They don't have to. An usual Elixir problem is IO bound, which means that most of the time you don't have to do GC.

The BEAM GC each process isolately, which means that if a process die before a GC is needed, the BEAM just clean the whole process memory. No need for a GC.

That is what happens most of the time.
Installing apps from web:

With Mac App Store, I have to leave the CLI and use the mouse like a filthy peasant.

And I pirate paid apps. Way easier UX there, because I don't have to spend any money.
Well, kind of.

There is also the language barrier.

Not many accept working in English, and we had some customers from well known multinationals that only upper management was willing to use it.

Besides the degree, knowing multiple languages and soft skills really helps.
I have turned to meditation recently for those nights when I can’t sleep, and I feel it helps me. Nothing comparable to having slept well, of course, but it seems to ease my way forward during a few hours.

To be honest I’m not exactly sure if I should call it meditation. I just lie on the bed, or sit, eyes closed while I let my thoughts flow as freely as possible, getting to an quasi-dreaming state, where I experience images and sounds.

It’s the same thing I do when taking sleepless “naps”, with the difference of having a much more clear refreshing effect.

How do you jump to this? In fact on any medium-to-long scale, guns are going to rapidly become useless. You'd be better off with a compound bow and a good supply of hunting arrows. Even without a projectile weapon there are plenty of other options: Fishing, trapping/snares, herding, captive smaller food-animals (chickens/rabbits).
OOP in Lisp, since the early days of the language in the mid-70's.

As the language was being further used for research at Xerox PARC and Genera.
Probably more important, it's chemically inert (so it doesn't rust away to nothing) and it's easy to assay, at least once you can make aqua regia, an ability which was mastered by the 13th century CE, and possibly by the 14th century BCE. Harappan touchstones have been recovered, and although cupellation can't separate gold from silver, it can certainly separate it from iron, lead, tin, and copper, and we've found cupels with litharge deposits from the 4th millennium BCE.

Cupellation plus touchstones are adequate both to refine electrum and to destructively measure the quantity of gold in the electrum. By Roman times, we were smelting electrum with salt to separate out the gold by chloriding the silver, and the Lydians may have been doing that already by the fifth century BCE, when they started debasing their electrum coins with extra silver.

This sounds kind of stupid, since at this point we're used to being able to purify and quantify all kinds of materials, but in fact these attributes made gold and silver unique among rare elements for centuries.
Ask HN: Have you ever taken part in a good 'team building' exercise?
For example, I have been a part of a team that did Briggs Meyer personality testing, which was interesting and encouraged discussion across team members. However, I fear that many exercises or outings would be transparent and a waste of time.

We are a small team of developers who work well together and are a no-BS group. I'm looking to further improve on an already good thing - does anyone have any suggestions of things that have worked for them in the past?
That's plainly false.

- There are time (and money) consuming technical issues in migrating to another platform, and with the dominance of software-as-a-service platforms, it's often not even possible. Can you migration comments? Is the date going to be set correctly? Can you keep your current layout and images? So even on a purely technical level, you can't "easily" get your blog running again on another platform.

- Access to content: I'm hoping he has backups. Of course, if you developed the content on-platform, it may be nebulous what exactly you need backups of. E.g., did you think to include all the images+comments? If his account was deleted, he may simply not have all the data anymore.

- Network effects (this is the big one): a web site isn't just a bunch of bits; it's a place people visit. Being down for any considerable length of time means those visitors will drift away; the attention you've gained will be partially lost permanently. And that's the best-case scenario. In many cases, you cannot keep url intact, in which case even after you restore service, people won't find you. In a very real way, companies like google and especially facebook own your social connections to others - so even if you manage to find another platform, they're not going to give you your contacts back.

E.g. if you switch phone provider, you may keep your telefone number (here, at least, even against the will of the original provider). If you migrate from facebook, you cannot keep your profile url. That's probably a bad thing for society; but it's hardly surprising companies aren't dying to prevent lock-in. Even google, which nominally allows extracting your data, the most valuable assets cannot be transferred (not to mention that the data extraction process results can't be trivially imported elsewhere because there is no standard for these types of things).

It's absurd to suggest the user has much practical freedom when it comes to switching communication platforms. Any freedom he does have tends to mean he must have had the foresight to use only a small subset of the available features, including onerous restrictions such as limited social interaction or interaction via unusual means. More realistically, if you switch platforms, you're likely to lose readers.

Wow, what an incredibly vague law...
I suppose there's no problem as long as everyone agrees to be everyone else's definition of reasonable.

This seems to be an undue burden of uncertainty. I make sprockets and offer 14 months, but my customer sues for 15 and wins a class action settlement. I should have been able to know whether my actions were legal or not, but I'm not sure I realistically could.
> I think in any cases you will have to define your notion of equality in the mathematical language you use.

The point is that I can reason about equality of ML and Haskell expressions in ML and Haskell themselves, with a few minor extensions (e.g., the usual laws of arithmetic, applied to pure `int` expressions), whereas reasoning about equivalence of JavaScript programs requires carrying out the entire reasoning process in a separate metalanguage. The latter is obviously far more tedious, which is why programmers have largely given up on actually reasoning about JavaScript programs, preferring testing as an alternative.

> Indeed, even in Haskell, the equality operator returns a Haskell boolean but not a proposition,

Equality testing (a runtime operation, only valid for types with decidable equality) is different from propositional equality (a type constructor on its own, which can be used on any type). See https://existentialtype.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/boolean-bli... for details. Haskell doesn't have a propositional equality type constructor.

> and cannot cope with equality on functions (I guess).

Indeed, and, in any higher-order language, this is a feature, not a bug.
Won't help if the software has bugs.
You used such strong sarcastic tone as if that statement is so ridiculous, but the truth has been that the Japanese tech industry is in the process of being MURDURED by everyone, from the Americans to the Koreans and to the Chinese.

Sure Nintendo has been able to protect their moat relatively well (after losing their home console castle), but just like the overall Japanese economy, their traditional culture is really limiting how they can compete in today's cutting edge tech markets.
I think, it's simply less of a hassle for Google to deal with this by way of their automated PR machinery than to get an actual human into their system.

They just need to open-source one Parsey McParseface and poof, the entire world thinks that Google is their cuddly big brother who would never do such a thing as ruin a man's livelihood without really giving a fuck about it.
Ignoring genetic dispositions and innate traits because they're socially 'inconvenient' is foolish.

Assume for a moment that all humans have the exact same innate, instinctive traits and tendencies. Same degree of curiosity, ingenuity, cleverness. We'll all the same.

Then look at Bonobos and Chimpanzees. These two primate groups look so similar they're often confused. Bonobos and Chimps differ by only 0.4% genetically. They reside in the same part of the world, in Africa.

Yet their behavior is quite different. Bonobos tend to be less violent than Chimps, and intimate relations play a much larger social role in Bonobo groups.

You can't ignore stuff like that. "Bonobos are sluts! At least chimps have some modesty about these things!"

Or "Bonobos are more intelligent than chimps! They settle things more peacefully and are not as readily violent!"

Can you say stuff like that in mixed company? Sure. Go to any social gathering and bring it up.

But try switching "Chimp, Bonobo" for "Caucasians, Blacks" when discussing professional sports accomplishments and you might be asked to leave the party.

There are innate differences and feeling 'sorry' and 'embarrassed' or 'guilty' or 'judgmental' for assessing the differences between groups with historically different innate strengths and weaknesses -- is a social norm, that's all.

"German Shepherd dogs are better than Golden Retrievers for police work." FINE.

"Perhaps for environmental/survival factors, some groups of humans developed more prominent problem-solving ability and curiosity and became more inventive." FINE so far! Until you identify the groups you mean by 'some groups' then you're being asked to leave the party.

Saying "It Makes No Sense to Judge Groups of People by Their Histories of Invention" reflects a modern social norm. But has zero effect on the facts.

Bonobos and Chimps have been studied. They're only 0.4% different, genetically. But their innate tendencies and behaviors are different.

There's nothing wrong with that! It's NATURE.

For now though, Social Norms are limiting dialog about differences in groups of humans.
Apple leases more than 40,000 sq ft office space in Bengaluru
In NZ I had one as a junior engineer in 2004-2006 who travelled to SE Asia regularly (6 times a year). Skipped all the faff of applying for Chinese visas (at the time: at the land border they're quick, but you need to get in advance before flying in). And got diplomatic lane at all the other airports which was nice :) While it says "4-6 months" to get the full card, you get your important countries within a month and they send you new cards as others come through.

Current requirements in NZ look to be:

> The APEC Business Travel Card is available to New Zealand business people engaged in trade and investment activities, who:

> * are nationals of New Zealand and hold a New Zealand passport

> * travel frequently to conduct trade and investment activities in participating APEC countries

> * have not been convicted of a criminal offence, or deported from, or asked to leave, or been refused entry, or otherwise excluded entry from any country.

Well worth it.

Scrum Master vs. Product Owner Differences in Skills, Duties and Responsibilities
Agile is a methodology to do work in the easy and convenient way. Scrum is the most famous agile methodology. Every Agile methodology consists of four main roles, which are

Product owner
Scrum master
scrum team
stakeholder

In scrum software development methodology, Scrum master and product owner are two main roles, which are responsible for separate areas of the project. Both are necessary for the project. In Agile methodology Scrum master is a bridge between product owner and development team.

"In each case a back of the envelope estimate would be enough to show that it would work out (in technical terms, if not business terms)."

I would think that applies to the Apollo project, too. An envelope can hold a quick calculation of how large your rocket needs to be, but it isn't large enough to hold any of the minor details that may cause problems. One also could argue it was done "in a remorselessly incremental way".

Well maybe it was just guessing based on my experience. At least in Easter Europe with friends I talked, aside from generalities about candidates (Trump is building a wall, ha-ha), it nobody worries or cares deeply enough to follow it to the level of DNC, to watch for election fraud, corruption.
Whites/blacks could also be men/women:

"The fact that more men are in CS then women clearly shows there must be external biases at play. Guaranteed. There is no other possible explanation that we are willing to test or explore."

Once we admit that people have the same rights and humanity as others, regardless of intelligence or athleticism, we will lose our insecurity and begin to understand ourselves. Though I doubt that will happen soon.
So often, big companies try to create better horses, when the next stage of evolution is the car. This is a (barely) better horse. Amazon does it, too (see the laughably bad Fire Phone, which had unique features designed primarily to sell you crap from Amazon). I'm not buying a device to "help me shop". Shopping is the least of my problems that need automating (and when they are usefully automated, I want a subscription like Amazon offers with Pantry). I like the idea of having an automated assistant, but we're still so far off it's more annoying than useful, I feel like.
That is unavoidable when doing extreme macrophotography work; only a tiny portion of a 3D object in the image will be in focus, so you need to 'focus stack' multiple images to get a single good image.

In a way, his work is giving the illusion of enlarging insects until you can see the details with just the naked eye. Just magnifying the insects, like you would to see it through a microscope, will mean that you have to constantly adjust the focus of the microscope to see the different parts of the insect.
I'd imagine it's a plausible modern update of the Cold War fears for nuclear war. Instead of a thousand nukes, you just get one super-effective one. It's been a semi-common trope in apocalypse fiction, too - for instance, the TV show Dark Angel was set in a post-EMP U.S.
Bitcoin rises; Fiat burns.
I started writing tests with no asserts
- speed close to where it was when I was not writing any tests.

- i don't waste time trying to make assert(foo, 2) or !assert(foo, nil) logic at the end of each test

- I just puts foo.inspect at the end of the test, run it, and move on when it's working

- the next programmer still has a wonderful little test that shows my intent and knows this code was at one point working or it wouldn't exist.

- there's no breaking the build when tests fails because without asserts tests never fail.

- tests are not run 24/7 over and over to catch something. They are there when you want to debug some code and leave very nice notes to the next programmer (maybe you)

- there's no technical debt to pay down as years go by and tests break. The tests are always just there as archaeological relics of code that puts some useful information to the console at some point in time.
