yeah I specifically abandoned ship from android for the camera bump, it just irks me that a phone at rest is balancing on optics.

what annoys me more is that most advancements are only for the 'plus' size model. that's the easy way out of the tech race, and I was just hoping that they brought feature parity with an updated SE model

so far I see no good replacement for my 5s except the previous year SE, but I'm not the one to spend that money on two year old hardware.
We were bit by the `closeConnIfStillIdle` bug as we didn't expect the stdlib to panic like that (also something you cannot recover from, as it happens in a goroutine which you didn't create.)
Recommender systems moved from explicit feedback (like ratings) to implicit feedback precisely because users are less likely to actually rate stuff and also because ratings are subjective; by which I mean your interpretation of 3 stars(good) may not agree with mine(average). I have watched tons of movies/shows on netflix or videos on YT for that matter but have not rated a single video.
To address the other part of your suggestion i.e collapse ratings/feedback across media like movies,books,etc. usually it is very difficult to have a dataset that spans multiple media across the same set of users. Even if it is present it would be too sparse (more sparse than usual for a site like YT with a continuously changing content library) to actually help. Though I agree that if anybody can get the recommender right, it is Google with the sheer amount of info it has on each user.
Participation in club activities (sports or otherwise) is basically mandatory in junior and senior high school.

Elementary kids often do go straight home and then play with friends or waste time, but once you're in junior high, you're basically considered a young adult and expected to have responsibilities.

Many clubs will take up MORE time than homework, with the sports clubs often having an hour or two of practice before school with the same again after school, plus most of Saturday and sometimes half of Sunday.

Generally when students get together, the last thing they want to do is play sports since they're doing that pretty much every day of the week!
So, if there is no innate grammar, why the phrase "large red ball" feels more correct than "red large ball", and in many languages (I can confirm only two)? If this is just a learned relationship between things, the order of the adjectives shouldn't matter. Furthermore, in Czech, words in sentence can be in many different orders (in particular, the ending word is the one that has emphasis), but order of adjectives still matters (or at least some feel right and some wrong). So we can learn and deal with different orderings of words.

The DBMS doesn't read your mind before interpreting relations.

Which is why the real interpretation happens outside the DBMS.

And which is also why the DBMS needs "help" from its users when deciding whether TUPLE{} represents "The shop is closed" and should go in THE_SHOP_IS_CLOSED rather than "The alarm is set" and should go in THE_ALARM_IS_SET.

It interprets relations according to its own data integrity enforcement rules.

If this is your way of saying that the only thing a DBMS does (and can ever be expected to do) is algebraic computation (e.g. to verify constraint satisfaction of a given update to a given existing db state), completely devoid of any form of "interpretation" in the sense of "human interpretation", I agree. Hell, it's why those things were called "computers". They compute. Nothing more.
I used to date a woman whose hippy mother decided that last names were slavery, she's the person who turned me onto this list. The experience really opened my eyes into the anglo/usa-centric nature of most app development best practices, and how complicated it must be to work as a localization engineer.

She suffered quite a bit, any call to a government agency, especially FASFA student loans (btw fuck you FASFA, fuck you), would often end up in tears after hours of pleading to them she was a real person, or explaining "just freaking search me this way, it's how they did it the last time I spent 2 hours on the phone with you). The only benefit is that having only one name makes it rather difficult to google/facebook stalk you.

tl;dr: Not everybody has a name like yours. Don't use "first name", "last name" for somebody's name. Just give it a 512-byte or larger UTF8 field, and move on.

Show HN: Spino magic screen: retro gaming on a rotative display
> I can agree that it's in theory possible that a videogame becomes as expressive as a musical instrument, but in reality I don't see that happening in at least the next 30 to 50 years.

I'm by no means professional guitar player, but I do play for fun quite a lot. I also love multiplayer starcraft 2 because of the same things I love guitar playing. It already feels like instrument to me. It's a way to express yourself in a social environment.

You can play macro, choosing one of the safe buildorders and building on that adding small changes in response to your opponent and sometimes on a whim or to throw him out of a loop. You can play risky focusing on early attack and better control of individual units. There's hundreds of proven tactics you can build upon, and with experience of few hundred games you can invent your own (most probably not viable on proffesional level but who cares).

You can switch from one to another tactics mid-game trying to surprise your opponent. Even things as simple as controlling your army have very deep possibilities of customization, because there's tousands of factors and not enough time to focus on everything, so it's a balancing act. Professional players often have their recognizable style (I love how Nerchio outflanks terran oponents, it's magic - everybody knows he does this and yet they fall for it time and again). Korean bio-terrans splitting their marines make one of the cheapest unit kill the units that are expected to be a counter to them (high templars, banelings), all while growing economy, harrasing, etc. Other players prefer chess-like mech playstyle, where you set up lines of defensive tanks and slowly move them along maps - it's like very slow tango - one player moves his tank forward while the other has no scan, the other player must move his units back a little or counterattack, but can't go too far or his units will be killed by the other tanks of the first player. Eventually one player makes a mistake and the army turns to shreds in a few seconds. Or you can just abuse the immobility and attack in a different place while the enemy army moves (but it tends to lead to both players killing each other base in parralel, and whoever is faster wins).

Starcraft is 100 decisions every second, the most important decision is "what decisions are the most important now". And there are lots of viable ways to do these decisions.

> Algebra and pattern matching are basically the same thing

The difference is that pattern matching is done on a model of the world provided by words, instead of applying it directly to senses.

In reinforcement learning there is an approach to model the world first, then run RL on top of the model, because that would provide a way for the agent to imagine possible outcomes without the need to try them first in actuality. Model based RL is a refinement of direct RL and is essential for thinking.
I suppose the endings are where he has to stick to the plan while writing, no wonder they feel entirely out of place.

Reducing administration costs and adjusting the tax system isn't going to help a disabled veteran who needs more than $10,000 to afford a wheelchair-adapted vehicle, or a quadriplegic who needs more than $10,000 to pay for a carer to visit them at work to help them use the toilet twice a day.

I'm no expert in politics, but I think if their benefits were cut they would probably protest, and the protesters would look very sympathetic.

And if we say "OK, we'll have some extra funding for legitimate expenses for the legitimately disabled" you're not going to be able to do away with administration costs.
Probably not, but I would like to see a new TB monitor. I actually replaced mine with a Dell 27" 4k. You can find them under $500, and I bought mine for something crazy like $350 I think (open box at MicroCenter)

My late 2013 rMBP is still great, but I do admit I'm eyeing an XPS 15 (or similarly spec'ed machine) and putting Ubuntu on it. For the price of a 15" MBP, twice the RAM, touch screen, 4K display, etc seems quite appealing.

> ". Certainly curiosity makes the hard work seem more like play than work, but that doesn't make it any less work. It just means that you don't realize how much effort you're putting in and it really just feels like an amusing way of playing or wasting time, but it's still work."

This is at the core of why we're disagreeing.

I'll make this as clear as I can. I have no problem with putting a lot of energy into something (or in your words, I have no problem with effort).

The reason we disagree is because for you effort = work, and for me the two are distinct. For me the worker mindset is one potential driving force behind putting in effort, and curiosity is another potential driving force behind putting in effort (there are others too; fear, anger, etc...).

The key point I've been trying to make is not about effort at all, but rather the difference between work and play. Whilst I do not deny that work has its place (as you indicated, it can lead to self-reliance, which is a good thing in my opinion), what I do think is that it lets ego get in the way of making things better.

Going back to a music analogy, let's imagine someone is creating a song. During the creation of the song, they discover a new sound that by chance fits the song perfectly. If the person wants this sound in their new song, they can either sample the existing sound, or learn how to create it from scratch. For someone with a 'hard work' mentality, the sampling option seems like cheating, in the sense of cheating yourself out of creating the song. However, if you're driven by curiosity/playfulness, your involvement in the creation of the song is of less importance, what matters more is the pleasure that comes from listening, and as the sound is identical to the one you wanted to hear there's no cheating of the listener.

Here's another analogy, the hacker vs. the academic. It's possible to become skilled with technology using either approach, but they are different approaches. The hacker lets curiosity guide their learning. The academic lets refinement of existing knowledge guide their learning. The academic appreciates best practices, the hacker looks for whatever works. You could make arguments both for and against both approaches, but IMO the hacker is more likely to be driven to explore, and enjoy doing so.

Hope I've clarified that my points have been about 'work vs. play' instead of 'effort vs. no effort'.
It's important to highlight that Nintendo have stayed true to one of their core principles: that the game should reflect the characteristics of the hardware it is played on. They've done this to great success before - think of Super Mario 64 pioneering 3d control with the analog stick, or the wiimote gestures used in Wii Sports.

They've correctly identified that mobile gaming is done with one hand, and even if this is not the first runner game on an iPhone, it's the right choice for a Mario game.

It would have been easy for them to whack up a virtual d-pad in a traditional 2d platform scroller, but I'm glad they've attempted something new.
Anything mandatory outside of the pretty long school hours we already have seems like a bad idea to me. Making sport mandatory, ugh, what a perfect way to get kids to dislike it as early on in life as possible.

Yes - as a Prius '05 owner, I'd say back then it was the closest to a spaceship I could get in a production vehicle.

As much as I agree that most artificial limits on the passwords are silly, there's a reason for at least limiting to latin1 charset - or maybe even a bit stricter. How sure are you that strings are always unified the same way between the browser and hashing? Have you tested that you can login from a browser which prefers CJK encodings and each of the UTFs? From all browsers? Maybe it works, maybe your framework deals with this without issues. But if not, do you really want to chase those mysteries in the future?

Btw, almost nobody is actually storing hashes as binary blobs. Pretty much every framework I know stores either base64, or direct hex encoding of the value.

The reliance on excel in all aspects of investment banking is remarkable. From the simple stuff in corporate finance (merger analysis, capital issuance etc.) to complex derivatives pricing on the market side.

On the pricing side, external libraries typically handle the heavy lifting, but excel is the glue that brings it together. Certainly not the most efficient tool - I've had spreadsheets that take over an hour to calculate. You'd hit F9 and head out to lunch.
The Pokemon Company licensed out to Niantic, Nintendo is just a big shareholder of that. Aka, Nintendo did not do anything there.
The simple solution for that would be a special charger with a Y-cable so one can plug the headphones in there when the device is charging. No extra adapters that can be lost. Just include a charger with a y-cable thingie in the iPhone package and they would be done. You buy the phone, you get the new headset with the new connector including a charger that allows to still plug in the headset.
If that will not be the case I don't know why Apple cannot think of such a simple solution.

I agree that there are often absurd requirement on the business side, just because they don't understand the tech and the problems a minor feature in their mind will cause down the line.

That's where project managers/change people are supposed to help, acting as an intermediary, understanding both the tech and the business. But in my experience they usually understand neither the tech nor the business and are adding more confusion, the whole thing works better without them.

But the state of corporate IT is sad to look at. I work in a large organisation where one of the executives was telling us proudly at a townhall that we have more developers than Facebook and Google together (though we are in the financial sector). Well, to say the least, we have little to show for it. Nothing works properly. Our core systems still run on programs written decades ago and we have to pull people from retirement if, after having exhausted all other possible options, we have to make a minor change. The network drives have a top speed of 1MB/s, and hang sometimes for minutes. As for the business applications. Any minor change results in ETA in months if not years and multi-millions quotes.

I remember discussing with some devs about an Excel VBA addin they were taking over from the business. They re-wrote most of the features in .net, which is very good, but somehow half of their application was still written in VBA, and I mean tons of VBA. I wondered why. They told me the library they were using only allowed to expose a function to Excel, but not to hook to or manipulate the UI. So they have written a VBA wrapper around all of their features that calls the .net excel functions.

There was a long silence after I showed them how they can get a handle to the COM interface of Excel in a single line of .net code using that library.
Once you know what to do, yes. But for scenario analysis and prototyping, anything with a code/run cycle is just painful. I've tried switching many times.

Plus, Excel has a 'gui' (of sorts) build in. (Shiny is not a substitute for that - here too, shiny is fine for productizing once you know what you want to do, but not for quick one offs)
