VIM has at least decent Lisp support, with a version of Paredit, and SLIMV. I don't know if there's any CIDER equivalent for Clojure development, though.
Oh hi Steve! https://registry.yarnpkg.com is just a proxy to the normal npm registry provided by Cloudflare so we can add additional caching and work on network performance (lots of stuff we could layer on top). It should hopefully help those in China as well which would be awesome. But everything you do still lives on the normal npm registry.
I don't think it took 100's of years for people to figure out that a continent teaming cod, timber, and beavers might be a good place to set up trade. Grated, early on, they thought it was a continent full of gold and spices.

I don't know what the analogous economic engine could possible be on Mars. If Mars is going to grow, we need to be able to imagine someone saying "I'm moving my family to Mars in search of a better life. I just don't see that happening. Series or L2 station? Sure, someone has to refine the iridium before we send it down the gravity well. But why would an entrepreneur want to set up shop on Mars?
Did Obama sign an executive order? Or is this a motivational announcement?

As a contrast, in my field (computational science) Obama signed an executive order (https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/07/29/execu...) to enable the rapid development of exascale (next generation) supercomputers.

Funding is arguably even more critical for space exploration, and without substantial action on this front I am skeptical this is going to have meaningful impact.
Agree completely. Furthermore, the article falsely states that the MBTI asserts people are either 100% introvert or 100% extrovert or whatever other letter. Every time I've been exposed to any sort of MBTI material, it's been very clear that the individual letters are a continuum. Some people fall further out along the continuum than others for each letter pair. The goal is not to pigeon-hole people, but to provide a framework for discussing why people approach situations or react the way they do.
The Economics of Long-Haul Flights
Right! It's obvious he's lacking some (relatively) recent information. And he vastly overestimates our ability to do things like simulate biochemical interactions.

Is he arguing that Dwarf Fortress has codes for souls? Because I feel like his argument and example say exactly the opposite.
> You can test an information stream for entropy and you can also determine whether there is any entropy left in a compressed information stream.

I don't think that measures the thing that needs to be measured here. Kolmogorov complexity is famously uncomputable; the output of a pseudo-random number generator will be high-entropy but "really" only contains a tiny amount of information (the initial seed).

And more to the point, DNA certainly contains more than 10MB of entropy; the claim is that most of this DNA is junk. Fair enough, but I expect the 10MB of DF code is also mostly junk: irrelevant details that the programmers were unnecessarily required to specify or the compiler picked out, rather than actually expressing the details of behaviour.
Thought we were going to vote on whether or not we agree that macOS is broken.. I was ready to vote for "Yes". =/
I hope this becomes the default way to build npm projects... and then npm install becomes yarn :-) Exactly reproducible builds is a godsend to the js community.
i think one of the major advantages over microsoft approach with Tay is that you can't mess with it on purpose, as long as they choose their subreddits wisely. It will probably learn its fair bit of racial slurs and insults, but thats just how humanity is like.
I think GP is saying the explorers "discovered" it from their perspective.

But otherwise, I agree, we already know tons about Mars.
> Yarn, a collaboration with Exponent, Google, and Tilde.

They should mention this at the very beginning. Multiple big players investing in this package manager means that we should maybe inspect a little bit more before chanting xkcd.com/927.
Usually people just don't think about this as they view Poland as almost "ours" territory. Same for baltics\ua etc.

Not to mention that usually this is viewed not as invasion, but a needed act to stop Nazis.
Hello, Yarn
I would never want someone to explain to my family that the reason my self-driving car plunged over a cliff is because STATISTICALLY I had a better chance of surviving the fall than a child had a chance to survive being run over.

In other words, are you or anyone else reading this ready to die RIGHT NOW if it somehow saved the life of other humans? Probably not.

I applaud MB for what they are doing. If i an to buy a self-driving car then I would only take one that protects my life and the lives of my occupants (my children, family, friends) above the lives of all other people.

"Linking: Finally, Yarn links everything together by copying all the files needed from the global cache into the local node_modules directory."

Stop copying stuff. Just make it global and link.

Next step is to make packages immutable and signed.

I'm happy with this step and the fact that facebook will be able to push this.
Become an astronaut. I know we like to talk about privately funded trips to mars but the reality is the mission hardware for the first many missions is not likely to be entrusted to people who have not met rigorous requirements for spaceflight.

You say hubris, I say practice.
Strangely enough, I think the solution is in devices like OnHub, Google WiFi, or other third party managed routers (yes, another IOT device).

Why? When attacks like this are first detected, they can be shut down at the source. Known bad devices can be preemptively locked down behind a firewall. Traffic to specific IP addresses, or packets which spoof headers to cause amplification attacks could all be detected and dropped before they even reach the ISP.

Yes, there will be problems and bad diagnoses, no, I don't want one of these managing my home network; but it would be perfect for my mother, for my non-technical friends, and for the average Joe with a subverted IP camera.

A curl -I shows CloudFlare, at least. npm's does not. So it's at _least_ doing some sort of cache...
How good is it? Can it talk to me, learn what I know, and more importantly learn what I DON'T know? Can it use that information to help me learn various things?

Online lectures are great, but a personalized tutor could change things. If I restate back my understanding of a subject, and it clearly tells me why I'm mistaken, that's useful.

Reddit does this, kind of, today... but it's not really from an informed position. It's mostly uninformed people arguing with equally uninformed people. There are gems occasionally, but it's rare. That's why /r/depthhub was created
Second this wholeheartedly. The "explorers" did not have the ability to observe to any real degree the rest of the world before setting out. Not only that, but it wasn't just exploration it was expansion.
One of the benefits R studio has over the Jupyter notebooks is the global environment view. It makes it very easy to look at your data and go through it.
I 100% agree.

I've pitched this before (during a code review for something) and was laughed at by the team under some guise of YAGNI / developer gold plating. They honestly thought I was joking. Once I explained the issues mentioned in the article, they still thought it was a waste of time.

It takes just a few seconds to implement and makes the code so much easier to test / maintain.
You aren't going to find a worse place that Mars. How are you going to ship all that stuff to Mars? Also, IIRC there's tons of radiation.

Nobody moves their stuff underground or to the Arctics (or both), which are orders of magnitude cheaper than moving stuff to Mars.
The problem with p-values
You can hire twice as many residents and make residency twice as long so they get the same total training at 40 hours a week.

You'll have to significantly increase resident salaries, and allow residents to move between hospitals to deal with life events. This isn't impossible, but it's politically infeasable while everyone is talking about cutting medical costs (total pay to residents would need to go up ~10-fold for this to work out). It's a bad situation today, but there isn't a simple magic wand to fix it with minor changes.

>> In the meantime, they note that there is a growing set of therapeutic tools that can help patients with PTSD, such as cognitive behavioral therapy mindfulness training and pharmacological approaches.

Notably absent from that list is EMDR, which is highly effective in a lot of people.
This whole thing has taught me a lesson. I initially sided with the weaker side because I own a copy of Dash, and it is great software, and because one tends to side with the underdog.

After listening to the recording of the conversation, my feeling is that Apple is handling this in a very fair and professional way, and that I was too quick to take sides. I think it is not unreasonable to assume that: same credit card + same hardware = same developer.
getdirentries() is deprecated as of 10.6 because it doesn't work with 64-bit inodes, according to the man page. The manpage recommends using readdir().

I know that an AVR backend end has been in the works for quite a while but I haven't checked the status lately.
> Then please provide some proof that proper DD was done.

If you are stating that "they [investors] failed to do due diligence", then the onus is on you to provide proof that the proper DD was done if you don't want your argument referred to as speculation. I am not drawing a conclusion one way or the other.

> The disruption came along one parameter only, the amount of blood required to do the test.

That wasn't the only disruption and I'm not sure that was the primary one: I would argue the primary disruption was regulatory (using/abusing the LDT framework and consumer-initiated testing).

> It is trivial to come up with a foolproof test to see whether or not Theranos has a working device.

I would never use the words trivial and foolproof for anything in medicine or laboratory testing: there is nothing simple about running a comparison between labs, especially for biological samples. Run an identical sample at Quest and Labcorp and the values will differ, perhaps in a statistically-significant way.

I agree in that I would expect that proper due diligence should have recommended against an investment in Theranos. Not participating in the scientific community is a giant red flag. I completely disagree that technical DD on the technology platform would necessarily reveal the flaws in Theranos.
Uncovering the magic: How serverless platforms really work
>HiDPI does not seem to work as well on other platforms.

HiDPI was broken for me on my external display once I "upgraded" to Sierra. In order to fix the problem, I had to install the most recent beta of the OS - not a move I liked making, but one I felt necessary because my external display is such an important part of my work.

This marks the first time that I've had this kind of issue with a macOS upgrade so soon after release. Lesson learned. Now I plan to hold off, with future releases. These new versions aren't bringing any new features that I care about, in the end, so there's no need for the new & shiny version of the OS anyway.
I agree that making chatbots passing the Turing Test will probably be something so common in the future that it will be a student project of medium complexity.

However, we are not there yet. If someone had this today, how valuable would this be to Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon?

As for the definition of what the Turing Test is, it's definitely a fuzzy subject. My own arbitrary definition is "ability to convince a human that he's talking to another human after a sustained (based on time or length of) conversation whereas human is aware that there's a possibility that his interlocutor maybe a machine".

So, it's more of convincing a judge in Loebner Prize competition than a random troll on Twitter.
Sounds like your trainer was a doofus. Each pair is a continuum and most people exhibit at least a mild preference in one direction or the other.
Programming Language Limericks
You are correct, but I predict you will not have much success arguing this point in this forum. Hacker News already made up its mind that psychological tests don't predict anything.
I wrote a post explaining why I'm psyched to be working on it:

TLDR:

- open, community governance that will support long-term evolution

- the technical details get a lot right out of the gate (decent performance, predictability, and security)
The problem with our team is that it's not really a team in the traditional sense. We're an engineering office for a multinational and we're a team only in the sense that we have a common manager but all of us pretty much work on different projects, with most of the collaborators being overseas (with a 10 hour timezone difference).

The "key person" is really a key figure and his opinion is valued for a lot of different things, so he's talking a lot to different people. But almost none of it concerns me.

Even if I worked together with the guys I sit next to, I'd prefer that there was a door between me and them. I prefer to work in silence and uninterrupted and if my opinion is required I'd rather work it out before/after lunch or schedule a time slot for it.
This looks awesome. But I have to wonder why create a whole new project rather than fork or upstream these changes to NPM? It doesn't seem like it's doing anything fundamentally different or outside of NPM's scope of responsibility.
I had the same thing with the Times (Murdoch-owned) in the UK. I remember that I got through on the phone but they said that it wouldn't be possible to cancel my account without charging the next two (monthly) billing cycles.

I cancelled my card and somehow they managed to cancel the account once payment didn't go through.

Only fucking subscribed because of one article we were in, ended up paying for almost a year of none-usage.

Your assertion that it is good for anything is based on the idea that the data is valid in any way. It isn't. When people are retested the results are very inconsistent.

Results being independently reproducible is the foundation of science. Meyers-Briggs fails that simple metric.
And we all know what type of a person OpenAI will become.
I can't decide whether I loathe Clinton or Trump more - both are despicable. However as a Brit I'm sick of you guys trying to make my mind up for me.

Your ability to report on Clinton's shortcomings has been dismal in comparison to Trump. It's clear there is an editorial bias.

Please explain to me why Trump's changing-room-gate has been on the main page all week, but there hasn't been any coverage of Clinton's suggestion of assassinating Assange with drones? Both are deplorable, private comments said (at best) in jest.
hi! they are running a mirror of the npm registry which contains all the package data but none of the permissions/user mgmt. this means that they are still dependent on npm infrastructure.

npm, Inc strongly encourages people to build and use mirrors. for example, cloudflare (where the mirror lives, and where seb used to work) has been running https://npmjs.cf/ for a long time.
But have they, though? I've read about this topic extensively and I've actually yet to run into a single comment or blog post about someone with a very similar experience and was entirely innocent. All I hear is the same banter that Apple does this to the little guy and everyone in solitary agreement with this notion. Very few people are willing to actually willing to put their pitchforks down and humbly admit that maybe Apple was accurate in its assessments of this developer and did more than they probably should have to rectify things.
Not exactly. Google actually allows some sort of "google bot" login and see as well as this : https://support.google.com/news/publisher/answer/40543
OP's mind would probably be absolutely blown by the demo scene if he thinks 10MB of data is impressive. Also, the NN example is interesting because no one in deep learning thinks that you actually need all those parameters: most NNs can be shrunk by 90%+ with some simple tweaks like quantizing neural weights and pruning them (speculation is that you need to train large parameterized NNs to make the path through high-dimensional space to the optimal program smooth enough for gradient descent to travel).

The "super-CPU" that you have described has to come from the same DNA. So if you take bits away from behavior to make "super-CPU," the definition of the "super-CPU" has consumed the data that used to encode behavior, leaving us with the same problem.

They didn't though, they're all Darwin/XNU underneath the hood, it's just the user interface is different, and some of the userland APIs don't cross over.
A lot of Israeli companies use handwriting tests in their hiring decisions. Don't ask me why, it's a meme that has hung on there for some reason. Does that mean graphology has predictive power? After all, companies are using it!

Of course not. All the companies are simply wrong. They're falling for management/hiring fads, or relying on old superstitions. This happens all the time. "Companies are using it" says nothing about whether it's actually reliable.

Specifically, many studies and meta-studies have failed to show correlation between MBTI results and job performance. Here is one such summary: http://www.opd.net/abstracts5.html

As Dan Geer warned[1], embedded devices must not be both unfixable and immortal. Either they have some sort of remove management interface and receive regular security updates, or they must have a limited lifespan.

Creating embedded systems that won't be updated and live indefinitely is knowingly creating a hazard and nuisance to society.

In person at every office, over a GotoMeeting for people out of offices. It definitely gets packed and standing room only, but for 9 minutes that's not a huge deal.

Assembling people isn't too bad if everyone knows it's a "thing" every single day. Music pipes through the offices at 3 minutes before the meeting, and the meeting starts regardless of who's there.
There are only 4 bits of information. E v I, S v N, T v F, J v P.

So, if you are 'strongly' I and weakly P that does not change the order to show P is more dominate over J than I is over E. AKA, magnitude is literally not part of the test.
Robots are great for running pre-planned experiments, but they're limiting. There are many experiments that the research community would love to perform but would necessarily require a human presence.
The P100s have full support for half-precision (i.e. 16 bit) floating point ops. This can mean ~2x improvements in speed and memory usage in comparison to the Pascal TitanX, which is the top "consumer" card. This difference is significant for almost any machine learning workload, which is what a lot of these cards will be used for.

NVIDIA gimped half-precision on the consumer cards to drive datacenters, hedge funds, machine learning companies, etc. towards the "professional" cards (and their huge markup).
The most convincing thing I've heard is "IP". Mars' competitive advantage will be an education and legal regime that is very good at producing engineer/inventors, a quasi religious social narrative to bind the colonies in a common mission, and an ever present existential threat to drive innovation. Basically, Israel in space.
Of course you shouldn't take it to that extreme either, but if you need DPI scaling for content to be readable then you're past the point where increasing the density further is meaningful.

Yes, "lie" is a strong word here, and Soviets focused on their own experience, but still the teaching of that focus was somewhat selective.

Naturally Soviet schools did put a lot weight on the sacrifices of Soviet soldiers to battle Germany. That is reasonable. But they stayed very quiet about other aspects of the suffering of Soviets and others. I mean things like:

- the happy co-operation of Nazis and Soviets prior to the war (e.g. providing training grounds for Panzers, teaching Nazis how to run an extermination camp)

- the secret protocol of Molotov-Ribbentrob pact (spheres of influence dividing Poland, Baltic countries and Finland)

- the invasions to Poland, Baltics and Finland (common parade in Brest-Litovsk, staged shelling at Mainila to start Winter War)

- the massacre of Polish officers and intelligentsia (Katyn Forest and Vasili Blokhin's work)

- overall, the magnitude of the Great Purges and the GULAG

It's not strictly speaking a lie that teaching was silent about these. But selecting what facts you talk about and what you don't talk about effectively denies truth. Particularly when there is little freedom of press and other ways to complement the knowledge after what was taught at school.

Yes, of course other nations have similar blind spots; those of the Soviet system just were rather large spots, comparatively.
