skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
My use case is 100% streaming.. I actually implemented what I'm trying to do using some basic python code that runs against archived logs, but I just process the last weeks worth of data from scratch at each iteration. It only takes 30 seconds to run, but this method doesn't work for a 100x larger stream that I want to do the same thing for.

The ability to run the data pipeline in realtime but also replay older data against new code using something like kafka would be a huge plus.

Really the main thing my code is missing is the sliding window implementation, so I can either port to spark streaming which has all that stuff built in, or just implement my own window code.

I got my last job via recruiter and I really enjoyed the experience. We mailed and met twice before my first interview, he knew how much money I can ask for and was very open if he thinks it's the right fit for me or not. He checked in twice the first year and I didn't hear from him in over two years now.

I'm pretty sure he keeps track if I'm still working there, but no phone/mail like "looking for something else?".

Definitely gonna contact him the next time I'm looking for a job.
This looks like a nice experience, but I'm realizing that I don't want to do anything like this. I thought I did, but I guess not. That includes driving an RV around America or New Zealand, hiking the Appalachian trail, or any other kind of journey where you travel from A to B and see a few things along the way. I do want to visit Africa, but all of this driving and getting stuck doesn't really appeal to me. I do want to visit places like Ethiopia and South Africa, but I think I'll take a plane.

I've traveled quite a bit, but I feel like up until this point I've just been consuming experiences and meeting people. It's nice, but ultimately not very fulfilling. I would like to experience some real adventure and end up with some interesting stories, but I'm starting to realize that you can't just be a spectator, you have to be a part of something bigger. Maybe by trying to solve a problem, investigating an issue and creating a documentary, or fighting for something important.

The reason I'm writing all of this is because I also want to quit my job and go off on some kind of new adventure, but I'm not really sure what I should do. As Rep. John Lewis says, maybe I need to get into some "good trouble".

You could make a general case that the government shouldn't kill anyone unless it's obviously beneficial to do so. That would rule out capital punishment since imprisonment works ok, would allow for killing armed attackers in self defence and probably for assisted dying for the terminally ill. It gets more tricky with regime change and the like but you could make a case for opposing the Saddams and Assads financially rather than with bombs.

Sadly, most people vote based on who they want as prime minister, and they put little thought who is running their riding.

This is entirely rational, though. The local MP has two primary functions - one is to vote on legislation, and the other is to support a particular set of MPs to form the executive government (personified by the Prime Minister, because the PM usually gets most of the say in who makes up the remainder of the executive).

Both of these are important, but the choice of executive normally has far more effect on the day-to-day running of the country (and the executive mostly gets to set the legislative agenda anyway), so it's no mystery why people tend to focus on the choice of executive when deciding which local MP to vote for.

My friend went to Barcelona and ended up in the hospital with a whole lot of stitches after being mugged in a tourist area after dark.

We hear you on both counts.

FWIW the 2.x JS SDK was available unminified (see: https://cdn.firebase.com/js/client/2.4.2/firebase-debug.js). With our expansion launch at Google I/O we had to upgrade our serving infra -- along with virtually everything else -- and haven't added the capability back in to 3.x yet.

The closed source SDKs feedback is something we hear frequently. Unfortunately I can't give you anything better than 'hang tight' at the moment.

Being 'anti-developer' is the antithesis of the Firebase ethos. We strive to be as developer friendly as we can. There are areas where we're not doing a good enough job right now and we're actively working to get better.

I hope that helps add some color
Netlify (https://www.netlify.com/) themselves offer hosting and deployment for static sites, with included add-ons like CDNs, form handling, SSL, etc.

GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) is another popular option but it only supports Jekyll, and if you wanted a CDN, form handler, redirects, and other features then you'd have to tack on other services.

I don't think it's about blame, it's just that you can't trust US companies with your data anymore.

Wire reduces metadata, e.g. no phone number and no social network/contact graph for triangulation. You can use a throwaway email to register, that is never used in other contexts. That leaves metadata for device key fingerprints, Wire account ID and public IP addresses.

Wire also uses WebRTC for some communication, not sure about the metadata implications of that protocol.

I suppose I should have clarified,
my point was mostly that this kind of message isn't really an argument for anything.
While it may look like it has more substance, Its simply saying "I don't like this".
So it does not really contribute too much for the discussion, other than appealing to the emotions of the reader.

Personally I am not particularly for or against capital punishment, because I don't think the subject is researched well enough.
And seeing as this is morally a problematic subject with regards to human rights ETC. I don't really have too many hopes it would ever be properly studied.

To be fair, he wrote the original as an analysis of how coups d'etat tended to evolve during the postcolonial period; the "practical guide" was just a bit of academic provocation. (As Luttwak admits, he only knows of one coup that actually used his book as a resource, and it failed abysmally.)

I'm totally with you that an entirely new book, post-Arab Spring, is in order, though -- perhaps one half devoted to how to overthrow a government, the other half on how to ruthlessly suppress dissent.

I find this fascinating. To a layperson like me all combustion engines seem like they must be uniform. Thanks.
I can see the G major argument. That would be a I/3 into IV. My professor would have said that answer is wrong due to voice leading, the 7 to 1 is very powerful. And the last chord is C, in root, meaning that's where you have resolved. Had the second interval been G+B, it would make the GMaj argument stronger. Ultimately, it's really context. You're really just asking about cadences, very roughly translated means "how chords resolve".
It's really a historical label at this point but to a first approximation it means that it didn't start on commodity PC hardware, even if decades later it now runs on x86 boxes.

The ancient history is that mainframes (mostly IBM) were so expensive (upfront + license/support) that many places jumped onto minicomputers starting in the 1960s and that process repeated itself a generation later as hardware continued to get cheaper and (later) Unix went from a curiosity to something a lot of people wanted and was generally both considerably cheaper and — especially appealing – meant you at least in theory weren't just locking yourself into yet another proprietary single-vendor platform.

For awhile, that meant companies like Sun, HP, DEC, Data General, SGI, etc. would sell you their hardware running something Unix-like and this was popular enough that even IBM started selling AIX to avoid losing customers entirely. At some point this was termed “Open Systems Unix” since the theory was that you could mix vendors fairly well, although anyone who worked in that period could tell you that the definition of “Unix” or “C” had significant variations across vendors.

As x86 improved, that cycle repeated again. Unlike its predecessors the 80386 was 32-bit and had hardware memory management and permissions so it was much easier to maintain the Unix model there, and the sky-rocketing volume meant other hardware platforms found it increasingly hard to remain competitive on performance or cost. One by one they either gave up and ported to x86, left the market, or tried to specialize in some niche like SGI's various high-performance computing products with exotic interconnects, graphics hardware, etc.

Ask HN: How to reduce accent?
Hey All,

I am from India and have been staying in the US for some years now. I still have an Indian accent and I wanna try to reduce it. I am going to leave my FT job to work on a startup and will be involved in customer demos/calls/presentations. I am comfortable speaking in front of strangers/customers but am self conscious of my accent.

I also speak very fast and mumble lot of works ( my dad does the same). I went to speech therapy two years back but it was difficult to follow through. Any ideas/suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated ?
Indeed, nothing in the press release suggests any kind of innovation. Initially, it sounds a lot cheaper than AWS - but the only pricing given is per core, nothing about RAM, network, storage, etc.
Are you imagining the detailed structure of a material or are you imagining someone telling you about the detailed structure of a material? How much is first-hand sensing and how much is second hand reports?

Also, that which does the imagining, your subconscious, say, has to be more complex than what you might perceive it to be.
Yes they can. I used hard cases, for future trips I will change to soft luggage though because everything will be ground to dust in hard panniers if you don't pack tightly and ride hard off-road for days. Walter Colebatch designed the "Magadan" soft panniers after riding the Baikal-Amur Mainline, I personally haven't used them yet but will try them for the next trip.

Oracle is not going to win, not matter what they do. Oracle is built on selling costly products and services versus operating in a low margin environment.

1.) Amazon has a much higher bar for hiring talent, than Oracle does.

2.) Amazon is internally use to being frugal, and so pricing wars are not going to hurt them. Oracle is use to charging a arm and a leg for their products.

3.) Amazon shareholders are already use to the company not being profitable, where as Oracle shareholders are not.

So now the question becomes -- which day should become the third day?

I vote for Friday. It's the Muslim worship day - and snuggles nicely against the Jewish and Christian worship days. It would give "Thank God It's Friday" an extra dimension of meaning. Most people are halfway home mentally anyway.

Monday also has some claims, but think of all of the songs that would have to be re-written to make Tuesday the new "most hated." I Don't Like Tuesdays (tell me why.) Rainy Days and Tuesdays Always Get Me Down. Blue Tuesday.

That's all I got to say about that.

This echoes my thoughts about travel. While I love being in transit, the idea of just seeing (or hearing/eating/etc) a bunch of things just isn't all that appealing.

I've lived in a few places in Asia and really liked that. Spending a few months to a year in a place, making friends, getting to know the locals. It felt good, though it limited the kind of work projects I could do. (I was an English teacher rather than a programmer or other independent worker at the time)

In some ways the digital nomad lifestyle, which is related to what I was doing, is very appealing. I know a programmer who has been bouncing around Southeast Asia working on programming projects, some contracted some independent, for the last year or two and learning languages.

Is that or something like it what you're looking for?

That link defines happiness as in how happy would an American hipster be with the local political situation if teleported there, not happy as in how likely is the average dude on the street to smile or laugh, or how likely is armed revolution.

For example Turkmenistan comes in near last, and it would be hell on earth for a coastal USA hipster who just wants to talk progressive politics in a coffee shop all day, but the natives kinda like it the way it is... happiness is not defined by most as a starbucks on every street corner, etc.

The dose makes the poison. The amount of lysol residue or whatever that gets on your dropped skittle is tiny. You probably eat it all the time, whenever you touch the table and then your food.

Anyway in general danger of exposure to chemicals is seriously overblown. I love this E.T. Jaynes quote:

>...for virtually every organic substance (such as saccharin or cyclamates), the existence of a finite metabolic rate means that there must exist a finite threshold dose rate, below which the substance is decomposed, eliminated, or chemically altered so rapidly that it causes no ill effects. If this were not true, the human race could never have survived to the present time, in view of all the things we have been eating.

>Indeed, every mouthful of food you and I have ever taken contained many billions of kinds of complex molecules whose structure and physiological effects have never been determined – and many millions of which would be toxic or fatal in large doses. We cannot doubt that we are daily ingesting thousands of substances that are far more dangerous than saccharin – but in amounts that are safe, because they are far below the various thresholds of toxicity. At present, there are hardly any substances, except some common drugs, for which we actually know the threshold.
