Given the sheer volume of WSJ paywall links posted here, combined with the significance of YC, surely someone at YC could call someone at WSJ and get them to bypass the paywall when the referrer is HN.

It was an explanation of a problem and a suggested solution. Nothing more, nothing less.

Given your comments above, it's pretty clear that you are far from dispassionate in your hatred of those with whom you disagree.
At least when it's self-hosted, it's your responsibility and you can fix it. When you are anything larger than a tiny company, this is much less risky.

Remember that 'the cloud' just means 'someone else's computers' so you are subject to their infrastructure management practices and uptime guarantees (or lack thereof).

String trim is just:

foo:gsub("%s*$", "")

or

foo:gsub("^%s*", "")

The standard idiom for OOP in Lua is a one-liner:

return setmetatable(self, mt)

where mt.__index has all the methods. How you assign to mt.__index can vary across modules according to style, but that's a _purely_ asethetic issue. The mechanics are identical. Using a module to accomplish it creates a useless dependency.

There are many criticisms one could make of Lua, but I don't think those two particular criticisms are legit. They're classic bikeshedding.
What are the main motivations for foreign actors to DDoS GitHub?

Even though I use 1Password, I used to use weak passwords on some accounts I frequently had to sign in to because I couldn't stand typing my master password in to my iPhone every time I wanted to open it. Finger print unlocking means I can use significantly stronger passwords for almost everything with little trouble now. That feature has been invaluable to me. Probably one of the most important mobile features ever, for me.

I've used Android devices but don't recall receiving OS upgrades except for one minor update in every case.

OEMs seem to suggest that if you want an OS upgrade, buy a new device.
The problem is that streams actually have very complicated semantics when they interact with the real world. What does it mean to traverse an effectful stream multiple times? Can you even do that?

Data.Vector provides a very efficient stream implementation for vector operation fusion, but it's unsuitable for iterators/streams that interact with the real world. Pipes, on the other hand, combined with FreeT, provides good, reasonable semantics for effectful streams.

As with many other things, Haskell forces you to be honest with what your code is actually doing (e.g. streaming things from a network) and this means that there's no one-size-fits-all implementation we can stuff everything into.

Well that was scary. I pushed some changes and noticed the CI server didn't do anything and it reported no changes. So I checked the PR and sure enough it doesn't show any of my latest commits although git seems to think all is well.
This article strikes a chord for me. I also read a book sometime back, called Flow [1] by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi which draws similar conclusion and is good, quick read.

And then I feel sad, because all the effort to seek that personal connect with work at my current workplace, have been taken away by a disconnected and immature middle management, which only works for meeting the goals and deadlines given to them...

My activity is missing on my activity page, but the issue I just filed like an hour ago is there on my contributions page. I suspect that perhaps some of the feeds and lists have to repopulate, but nothing is really missing.
Here are some calories/dollar calculations (and you can verify them using the links below):

1. Ground Beef

- $3.725 per lb (in June 2016, according to the BLS[1])

- 971 calories per lb [2]

- 260 calories per dollar

2. Lettuce

- $2.029 per lb (also from the BLS, same link as above)

- 77 calories per lb [3]

- 38 calories per dollar

3. Apples

- $1.444 per lb (also from the BLS, same link as above)

- 235 calories per lb [4]

- 162 calories per dollar

The math doesn't lie. Lettuce is almost an order of magnitude more expensive per calorie than ground beef. And you can go look up other fruits or leafy green vegetables (I used two of the examples you provided), they basically all fall in this range. Some meats (mostly seafood) are more expensive per calorie than beef, some are less expensive (mostly poultry and pork).

What it all boils down to, though, is that if you want to feed more people with the same amount of land/energy/whatever, you need to be looking at dairy (500-800 calories/$), oils (1200-2000 calories/$), and especially grains (> 2000 calories/$).

There's a reason why the dawn of civilization coincided with agriculture and domestication of grains: grains are an incredibly cheap source of calories.

Also, FYI, in the U.S. at least, organic food is not usually pesticide free. It just means that only "natural" pesticides are used. And harvesting things by hand is terrible for the environment. Humans are incredibly expensive and use tons of resources. After all, human generally want things like cars, climate controlled dwellings, and latest gizmos and gadgets, whereas a tractor could care less about these things :P.

Well, that's one side of the argument and I get it.

However, if you extend it a bit further it might mean that the inability to get a better job justifies you taking one that hurts other people - some of those telemarketers are selling useless shit, scamy subscriptions, etc. I don't fall for those but I'm not the only one receving those calls.
In a low-level language like C there's _never_ a right solution out of the box. Instead, you use the language because it permits you to tailor the solution to the problem.

In a high-level language like Python there's always a right solution. It's just rarely well-tailored to the problem.

I'm not at all surprised C++ is still muddling around in the middle somewhere.

How are type families worse than fundeps? That's a pretty ridiculous assertion; the things you can do with fundeps are strictly fewer than the things you can do with type families.

> The principled approach

You're dead wrong. The principled approach here is dependent types and full-featured type-level functions. Fundeps are a hack that let you implement a small subset of such functions (while type families gets us a bit closer to the ideal).

> they have unacceptable limitations as a large-scale program structuring construct.

> And instead use an ML-style module system for that purpose.

How about we just use C macros for parametricity?

ML-style modules have their uses, but they aren't nearly as elegant as a clean type-level solution.
Even for a company much larger than tiny, you're better off with GitHub from a reliability perspective. Most medium companies (up to hundreds of employees) do not have operations staff anywhere near as responsive as GitHub's are.

Sure, just ignore everything else you typed. That seems reasonable.

"Explanation of a problem" even here you're showing of what I've accused you of. You have a problem. HN doesn't seem to have a problem. WSJ doesn't seem to have a problem. But you're phrasing it like it's something objectively wrong. It's not a problem it's your problem.

You don't like something and you want it a different way. That's fine. But adding all of this shit about them being abusive, obnoxious, calling them ridiculous; shows that no, you don't just want something to be a certain way you think that there's a failure on someones part if it isn't.

Now you appear to be trying to what, back peddle in to the part of disinterested bystander? At least own up to your sense of entitlement. It's as defensible of a position as any other.

You're correct, this isn't going anywhere.
I don't believe I was making the mistake of thinking of people a little older than me as being less human. I have elderly friends that are avid gamers and love thier smartphones, tablets, and Facebook (which I consider to have had mass adoption).

VR headsets I put in the same category as the Microsoft Kinect or the Nintendo Wii. They are kind of fun, impressive technologies, but ultimately they are kind of a pain to use.
Theoretically stand-up was supposed to be a quick activity taking no more than 15 minutes of your day, and on average taking less than 5 minutes. Teams were supposed to be small, and people were only supposed to talk for about 30 seconds unless there were quick questions to be answered.

That's why it was called stand-up, in order to emphasise that you stand while doing it so the meeting simply can't be long since everyone is psychologically incentivised to get to the point so we can all go to break room, sit down and work, or get coffee.

Of course it didn't work out that way in many places, and now 'stand-up' is a 1 hour long daily meeting complete with minute notes, rules of proceedings, and slide-shows.
It sounds like drug discovery ought to be taxpayer-funded, then, as a project that is in the public interest but difficult to monetize without jeopardizing the public interest.

Most people do give the rift the edge, but it's not a huge difference on either side, for example the rift fits some people extremely well but those with glasses or wider faces tend to prefer the Vive. Image quality on the other hand is about tradeoffs and their value really depends on the game.

Other issues such as room scale vs seated/180 is yet another set of considerations and frankly, the Vive has the clear edge there even if you disagree as to its utility.

In my experience, people find something is going wrong then enter a temporal vortex where they only focus on fixing this problem. They will then emerge on a Friday at 4:30pm, to tell everyone.

But joking aside, plans that rely on trusting everyone to act in a certain unwritten way aren't very reliable. It's like how one study showed that mistakes during surgery went down by a significant degree if doctors simply compiled a checklist of what they were going to do beforehand---even if they had done the procedure hundreds of times before.

People, in the middle of working on hard tasks are not very reliable. That's not to say they're not smart, or professional, or lack care for their coworkers. It's just a fact of human nature that we solve problems in whatever organically directed way makes sense at the time, and not what the 'best over many averages' way would be.

Ah, in a perfectly 'free' market, there is still the possibility of inadequate and asymmetrical held information. In this case, people will not make the best decisions because they simply do not have the information to do so.

For example, someone in a company town may not know that moving to the city will most definitely result in a better job, and out of fear of this ignorance, they continue to stay in a poor situation until it reaches a point where emotionally (rather than rationally), it becomes intolerable.

To me, the one of the purposes of good governance is to ensure that information is spread widely, and citizens are well educated in order to understand and take advantage of it.

Edit:

To add to it... recruiting children, laying debt upon them, and ensuring they only know about 1 kind of job is exactly the kind of asymmetric information that we make laws to prevent the formation of.
The paper (with fewer typos) was actually accepted into 'ICONIP' in Japan in October - so I'll definitely have code on GitHub by the end of the summer. Currently my Theano implementation is buried in typical exploratory kind of code, which just needs to be stripped away to make something functional from GloVE->Sparse in one command.

The NNSE paper has associated code already, but I found setting the sparseness preference parameter was very hit-and-miss, which is why I preferred the explicit sparse-by-percentage measure in my work.

The TSA was created for legit safety/security purposes. The organization itself is assuredly a clusterfuck, but airlines and airports doing their own security again isn't the answer.

A lot of it is about training. Many, if not most, of TSA's airport employees are the same poorly trained security staff that were laid off (and subsequently rehired) after the TSA's creation.

The answer is a better security organization, perhaps modelled after a functioning organization, like Israel's (I've studied the country's security practices, and it readily comes to mind). The answer is not regressing to poorly trained and poorly organized DIY security operations.
"But the famous ‘insularity’ and ‘xenophobia’ of the English is far stronger in the working class than in the bourgeoisie. In all countries the poor are more national than the rich, but the English working class are outstanding in their abhorrence of foreign habits. Even when they are obliged to live abroad for years they refuse either to accustom themselves to foreign food or to learn foreign languages. Nearly every Englishman of working-class origin considers it effeminate to pronounce a foreign word correctly."

There are many rare variants in each individual. Establishing the significance of these variants in a particular environmental context, and dealing with the myriad of potential interactions with other variants is probably not tractable with the experimental design you describe.

High throughput phenotypic screens which test the cellular affects of inserting particular variants could help, as they would prune the number of potential variants, but the false negative rate is high.

Genomic determinism may not exist in a useful sense in the current era.
Sure, you can leave. You just need to settle your debt at the store before you do. We did give you that advance after all.

I'm going to be completely blunt - have you actually tried to get someone on the ballot? My experience of uncontested elections is that there simply is only one person in town who wants to be library secretary. Maybe your location is different, but uncontested where I'm from is a matter of indifference not some conspiratorial collusions.

What is your evidence that they choose not to compete? Competing costs almost nothing if someone wants the job and enough people fill out single party ballots that they'd have a good chance.

I'm disappointed that you choose your protest method to be inconveniencing local volunteers in a manner that is even less likely to achieve results than something you compare to holding back the tide.
The thing I find most annoying on ebay searches is sellers who list multiple items on the one listing.

So if your search is ordered by price, it will show their listing first when in reality, the actual item you're looking for is much more expensive.

I have no idea why ebay allows this to happen.
I'm not local establishment and the message I've learned is to vote for the uncontested parties so that there is no chance an accidental third party gets elected.
I went back and checked. The chorus is still the only piece of evidence in there.
