It sounds like everything went down just fine: the first person's intent wasn't to attack religion, the second guy said let's drop the subject, and the first guy did. No hate speech at all.

There was a cool article on identifying clickbait headlines with machine learning just last month. (There was probably an HN discussion but I can't find it on my phone.) the main difference is that it operated only on the headline, not comparing it to the actual article.

On Mac I use TextWrangler for quick editing and VS Code as the IDE. I never need to open super large files so after reading this discussion I tried to open a 177MB text file in TextWrangler and it opened quickly and was editable. Searching within the file was also super fast.
Thanks for that, I'll fix it later today!
I am checking to see if this is a joke :) This is not the first time for psychologists to come up with divisions like this. Not really sure how relevant this is, thoughts?
So, I think the interesting question is--take them at their word, and what do we then do with the resulting population explosion?

It's kinda like efforts to modernize (read: give Western lifestyles to) a lot of South Asia and Africa...a lot of pollution and ecological destruction that is probably not a good thing.
If you have the patience to manually blacklist URLs, you can do this pretty easily with a regex-based site blocker. (My favorite for Chrome is Simple Blocker, which doesn't document that it uses regexes but in fact does: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-blocker/akf...). For example, the following blacklist regex patterns block the Reddit front page and the main page of any subreddits and multireddits, but still let you navigate to individual threads:

https://(www|np).reddit.com/r/[^/]+/?$

Funny, because in my interpretation of the text (e.g. Genesis 9:3 [1]) god draws a distinct line between people and animals. Saying that we're all apes from Africa is more like erasing that line and acknowledging our kinship.

Well, all things have to start somewhere. Right now, it's just some curiosity thing, but maybe it will turn out useful.

It could already be for making simulations using agent based models with "realistic" hypotheses by feeding in the strategies and the frequencies corresponding to these personalities into the model. Could be useful to social science research already.

Nope.

Remember priests are a protected class, but pedo priests are not. The worlds major religions are responsible for thousands of times more death than nuclear weapons.

I think “color grading”, “color correction”, “photo retouching”, “image editing”, etc. are all pretty terrible names. Unfortunately there isn’t a great alternative name.

The old term was “printing”, but to a layman that now connotes pressing a button to get an inkjet or whatever.

You can certainly come up with automatic operators which look better than “hard clip everything brighter than 1.0”.

I agree though that there should be more work put into making usable tools for artists instead of “let’s magically fix the picture in one click”.
How to extract the audio file from video
I recently got two iPads with a data plan on Verizon. I'm absolutely paranoid about overages. First thing I did, right out of the box, was pick through all the data-related settings. Wifi assist? No thanks. I'm paranoid enough about it that I turn cell data off unless I'm on the road.

Thus far, three months in, I can say I'm not dissatisfied with the service. I'm not thrilled about the data rate, but the "competition" sells the same thing at about the same price.
Even worse, it's racism!!!
I'll second this, but note that I wasn't getting the ~8 hours of truly restful sleep until I rejuvenated my exercise routine. Not to hijack this comment and turn it into a thread from /r/Fitness, but I simply couldn't turn off "the Stream" (a helpful metaphor, thank you) without actually going to bed tired.

My knees are shot now, so running isn't an option. But if you're able I highly recommend swimming.
I think, or hope, he was being sarcastic. Religion is a belief system and personal opinion. While you have the freedom to hold whatever beliefs you want, I am free to criticize and ridicule your beliefs if I think they're inconsistent or ridiculous.
When I read about my MBTI type, I can reasonably say "Yes, I am exactly like that, and no, I'm nothing like the others." When I read about these categories, my reaction was "I'm all of these."
I'd add a driver for a non trivial binary protocol - I ended up implementing a JVM driver for Cassandra a few years ago, and it was a blast.

It's true that a "syndrome", by definition, is a collection of symptoms that seem to co-occur. And it's also true that there are many possible causes of low energy.

But there seems to be one particular cause, not that anyone seems to know for sure what that is, that produces a set of symptoms that is more specific than generalized fatigue. The symptom sometimes called "post-exertional malaise" is, AFAIK, unique to this disease. One doesn't necessarily feel tired while exercising; instead, the tiredness (often accompanied by headaches and sometimes other symptoms) hits hours or even a day after the exercise.

So when the OP writes "Instead of trying to continually increase my exercise, I’d learned to focus on staying within my ever-changing limits", I know she has the same thing I do, because that's my experience exactly. Whatever you had, in contrast, sounds like it had some other cause.

My father had to catch a bus from a village to the city, then catch a plane to a major city to make international phone call to the US to his business partners. Today, people in that same village can sign on to HN and reply to this very post. Or tweet and facebook real time.

Maybe they won't be the one to solve it, maybe it would take a bit longer, who knows? Gotta give it a shot. Maybe we won't cure all the disease. Perhaps we eliminate 85%. That would be great too. Stay optimistic my friend.

Which can be true or false independently of how meaningful the title is.
One of the moments where I really started to feel like I was starting to 'see the matrix' was when I was working on a regex engine to try to make my compiler faster (it didn't, but that's another story). The asymptotically fast way to approach regex processing actually involves writing a parser to process the regex, so in order to write a fast compiler, you need to write another fast compiler to process the regexes that will process the actual programs that you write. But, if your regexes get complex, you should really write a parser to parse the regexes that will parse the actual program. This is where you realize that it's parsers all the way down.

When you think more about regexes this way, you realize that a regex is just a tiny description of a virtual machine (or emulator) that can process the simplest of instructions (check for 'a', accept '0-9', etc.). Each step in the regex is just a piece of bytecode that can execute, and if you turn a regex on its side you can visualize it as just a simple assembly program.

As opposed to more standard research funding which isn't as goal oriented.

I assume they're looking for a "billion dollar exit" from their research funding.
> Yes, and the same reasoning would apply to folks suggesting that employers routinely are open to negotiation.

No, it wouldn't, because employers have a strong incentive to hide salary band violations, while employees have a strong incentive to discover when negotiations are possible.

> it strikes me as an extraordinary to claim successfully negotiating higher-than-average wages is typical.

Then you should probably go talk to somebody who made that claim. But it's a nonsensical claim, so my guess is not many would be making it.

I like your constructiveness in searching for a solution,. However, it seems to me that any data based upon 'categories' which are constructed out of poorly-operationalised variables are not going to be particularly valid, linear algebra or not!
Edit: to be fair, we don't know how they got to their categories, but the naming of them inspires no confidence.
Depends on what your methods are for finding your classifications. For example, if all you're doing is recording a bunch of data over some feature set and then throwing it at an unsupervised clustering algorithm like DBSCAN or single-linkage clustering, It's not unlikely that you can say that your data can be partitioned into N distinct clusters.

Granted, that depends heavily on your features and your data set. It's just as easy to end up with one big undifferentiated blob, even after running PCA.
Right, but the question is whether the GP was trying to make common cause with all humans or with all animals.

We shouldn't trivialize Jung's and Myer's work because of the pop culture surrounding it. Psychological Types and it's surrounding works (though, I haven't read The Red Book yet) contain a great deal of insight.
I have been a Verizon customer for about 4 years since the iPhone 5 came out. My data usage sometimes varies a great deal depending if I'm out of town or not. I always check a couple of days before the end of my billing cycle and I can increase the plan for that month. Now the plans have larger bin sizes and it easier keeping to one plan. Because of my methods I would frequently receiving "over data" text messages as a warning.

Also if one installs the Verizon iPhone app you can use a widget so I see my usage daily when checking the weather and schedule and so on.

I also recommend buying the omnistat app that shows you data consumed real time.
I get 50% and 75% warnings from Verizon in both text message and email, so I haven't had to worry one bit about exceeding my 1 GB limit.
Working with data as binary is a good test of a high level language skills. When I was playing around with DNS, I wrote terrible code like https://github.com/voltagex/junkcode/blob/master/CSharp/DNS/.... A better way to do it is https://github.com/kapetan/dns/blob/master/DNS/Protocol/Head... - structs, of course.

I'd add reading and implementing a protocol from RFC - it's a great way to start thinking about design, especially if you read the original RFCs and work forward through the revisions and see what was kept vs deprecated.
One "problem" I've observed with initiatives to make new kinds of computers is that eventually you want software on them. Some sort of x-nix compatibility layer will inevitably creep in and then the computer and OS just seem to become yet another compilation target for every popular GNU/Free/Open Source project in the world and then you're basically just using a weird window manager with weird compatibility issues and slightly out of date builds of the software everybody else is using (or local clones of the same).

Systems like the Amiga existed when the complexity and economics of making software for one kind of computer (thus making it unique or special) really worked out -- and even then most things were ported between a variety of platforms. It's very hard to create a differentiated platform and keep it differentiated long enough that it doesn't just get overwhelmed with the rest of the world.
In this same vein, I recommend coding an emulator! It can be an excellent experience.

Funny, and true.
This is a huge aside to the article topic, but, as the joke goes. MBTI is astrology for geeks. As used by lots of businesspeople and in popular media, MBTI is bunk. No professional psychologist worth their salt uses it in the way that it is misused, and most who are academically up to date look at things like Big 5 as having much more utility.
"Sublime Text may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use."

How many people here are actually using web apps day to day?

I've spent most of my career building web apps for other people but when I look at the programs I use daily, the only web app amongst them is gmail, even then I mostly use it through the android app. Possibly netflix and other online video if you count that as a web app (though I'd prefer a native version).

For work email it's outlook. For document editing it's word and vim. For developing it's Visual studio and vim. Listening to music is done via native apps. For work messaging it's lync. Earlier today I wanted to do a workflow diagram and it was easier to download and install dia than it was to use one of the millions of online versions.

Did widespread usage of web apps every actually happen?
One suggestion for people who ask if there is a better way than cutting yourself off from social networks:

Try to practice "memory walk meditation" - I made up the word to combine two things I have learnt about, essentially to combat distraction. (And I have been generally successful - but I also don't need it a whole lot)

Next time you read a book, or just anything you feel would be good to remember - take the key points and associate them with objects in the room that you spend the most time in, or where you usually sit/stand when you interact on the social network. If you are completely unfamiliar with the field of memory training, I recommend picking up some old copy of any book written by Harry Lorayne to learn how people usually commit things to memory when doing memory training. (For example, creating outrageous and vivid images is key to retrieval. Learning the major system will help memorize arbitrary numbers)

The actual memory walk meditation consists of traversing those objects first physically, then eventually mentally in a certain order - as you approach the object, use the image to retrieve the concept/idea associated with it. Hopefully you can identify at least 10 or so objects in your room.

After a while, it becomes a bit (too) easy. Read another book, do it for something else you wish to learn.

The point is, it is easier to move away from a bad habit like too much FB by building something else that you look forward to than using denial.

A very nice advantage of this technique is that you can decide, for example, that you will at least go around the room (mentally) once before logging in to the social network, and increase it to two, three etc. So you can slowly build up your resistance, so to speak. A second advantage is that since the objects are usually right in front of your eyes, it gives you triggers all over the environment to help you build the habit.
And whatever fine the FCC (or other government agency) gives them will not be sufficient to teach Verizon that this behavior is unacceptable.
Every now and then I get interested in demoscene programming. I've never even been able to get a triangle to render on the screen - except with something like XNA.

Do you think there's any value in going back to say, DOS based VGA programming? People in #osdev thought I was a bit strange for wanting to write a bootable kernel that only put pixels on the screen, but I really enjoy the idea of starting with plotting pixels, then moving on to more complex effects.
I don't get it - what do regexps have to do with compilers and how do they make compilers faster?
Strong agree on emulator and particularly stack vm. Would add: TCP/IP stack.
Isn't there a variant that uses a counter instead of a bit. If counter > 0 the flag is set?
In finance its not hard to make. What is hard is to get hired for those roles: great school, do awesome in interviews that involve software, math, probability domains. On the buy side (hedge funds), you will be easily making that much in 2-3 years after joining. And finance folks love their puzzles and brain teasers too.

In tech, its harder. Equity is key. A big company can offer that kind of equity if you offer something really unique or are in great demand (i.e. wanted by multiple great companies). Startups, you got to choose carefully and see if you can pick the right one that won't go under and also offer you good equity. I have rarely heard anyone getting paid that much in cash in tech except senior roles that can take a while to get to.

How to Protect Workers from Job-Stealing Robots
Agreed that Jung is still a fine historical and useful psychological figure. However, this was 80-100 years ago. time moves on. I didn't really want to start a MBTI storm, but it was illustrative of a categorisation-creation issue, and the limitations of doing quantitative (and pseudo-quantitative) academics without well-grounded variables.
