Well that's sort of the point, isn't it? For whatever moral judgment you wish to levy on those dead and gone, European culture of the time led into what became the dominant culture on the planet. The colonization of the "new world" was indeed a milestone on that journey.

Commandiv | Software Engineer (front-end focused for now) | NYC | Onsite

Commandiv has built a stock-trading application with zero commissions and actionable investment advice. We're halfway between Robinhood and Betterment.

I come from the hedge fund world and wrote the advisory algos. My partner & CTO has 20yrs of Wall St software engineering experience and previously cofounded and built a similar product.

We are hiring a front-end expert to implement our UXUI designer's full set of production-ready mockups.

This is an Employee #1 position and comes with the generous equity package you would assume! :)

The same thing can be done with current cars and trucks.
To Wrap or Not to Wrap: One of Life's Greatest Questions
I don't see us living there for extended missions either. I do see the importance of what we learned and the inventions that came out of the Moon missions that have positively impacted our lives on this rock. The journey thing. What I don't get, at all, to this day, is why...we still don't have a Moon base.

Well, this is a problematic case of "throwing out the baby with the bathwater". Semantic versioning isn't the problem here (the lack of deterministic install trees is!), yet it's thrown out pretty much entirely, without even so much as considering why it exists in the first place.

I wonder whether Facebook realizes just how much damage they are going to be doing to the JS ecosystem with this approach.
Even just getting their spectra should be enough to detect life, according Lovelock's theory that planets having life have out-of-equilibrium atmospheric gas profiles.

For example, we should expect that Mars is barren of life, or at least has such tenuous life as to be very hard to detect from Mars' atmosphere.
How to Convince People to Contribute to Style Guide Development
I have seen numerous versions of the "New Resume" in the last ten years or so. It's really hard to replace something universal that everyone understands, even if it's antiquated. I doubt this will fair much better.
> unless you've actually shipped a product using this tool

Given that wycats _worked on_ this tool, I would assume it's his experience helping build it that's the basis of the claim.

(I don't work at Tilde so I can't tell you if it's been shipping with yarn, but it would shock me if it wasn't.)
I don't think it's fair to compare jspm and Yarn. jspm is an interesting project, but is tightly coupled with SystemJS. Telling everyone to rewrite their apps to use SystemJS and jspm is a huge lift.

Yarn, on the other hand, has focused on npm compatibility from the get-go. The entire point is to be a drop in replacement, with no changes (or maybe very very minimal changes) required to gain a lot of benefit.

In this slice of the industry where everyone is told they have to rewrite to the latest thing every year or two, I find it very refreshing to see Yarn's focus on backwards compatibility, improving existing infrastructure, and having a clear, painless adoption path.

The main problems seem to be risk aversion and environmental groups. There will always be some risk to sending fissionable material on a very large chemical explosive (rocket); given our society's current risk aversion, it seems like a 'hard sell'. Environmental groups have been protesting every use of radioactive material in space for the last ~20 years, and seem likely to continue to do so; in the current political climate, nobody has the will to ignore them.
Introducing the New Pixel and Pixel XL
I am an INTP, and while a lot do consider Myers-Briggs as glorified Barnum statements, I do consider it somewhat valuable for self-introspection.

The main reason I don't think Myers-Briggs can be a true-ism is that each dimension is actually a spectrum. For example I am about 60% "I" (and thus 40% "E") so the various "I" true-isms only slightly factor on my personality.
This is the same fear spreading as with 3D printed guns.

I'd parse all of the data from political discussion sites (like geopolitical commentary) and attempt to find a correlation between that, news articles, public speeches, and stock data to see if I can predict anything about geopolitical stability.

If I can say predict with a 30-40% accuracy things like riots in 3rd world nations based on collective analysis of data provided from thousands of sources (just by looking at places and sentiment), broken up by groups and affiliations, and correlated an analysis of a country's monetary and political situations then I could probably sell it for a nice chunk of change.

Lots of work, but probably huge pay off. Then again I'm not a "Data scientist" so I'll leave this up to those experts.

PS: you could definitely use this + gender detection for finding information about products and services and correlate that to corporate success of advertisements. Technology like this is applicable to many industries. Just looking for different correlations of the same sets of data.
So in the real world, are there developed techniques to build relatively complex models that account for covariates and sources of variability (e.g. random effects) and repeated measures?
My rule of thumb for Mac is not to upgrade for at least 3 months after my essential apps report that they work under new OS version.
It's not foolproof, much like a lie detector test. But I do think it has value. I'm an INTJ, and understanding that other people are wired differently in very demonstrative ways, helped me understand how to relate to people. When I thought people were "phony" it was just that they were more extroverted than me. I've been told I'm too black-and-white, whereas I hated the wishywashiness in people that couldn't be decisive. This is also reflected in the Myers-Briggs test.

So it might not be completely accurate, but it did help me understand how I relate and differ with others due to these 4 major personality characteristics.
The fun of kicking off a CI build after the weekend with no commits and see stuff randomly break because some dependency of a dependency got updated and broke things in a minor version is something I've only experienced in JS - beautiful.
I find it hard enough to debug something when it is at the software level, and here we are looking at individual on/off signals between chips.
I agree with the danger of networked cars but most other things are already possible now. Leaving a bag with explosives in a train is easy, equipping a drone with explosives and flying it into a parade as well. Manipulating the traffic light system, etc. Self-driving cars may be another possibility in terrorist attacks but most of the things described are not really a problem of self-driving vehicles but rather problems inherent of mass transportation or the internet of things.
I came to the Javascript world late, starting with React. I think its tooling has gotten out of hand, but there are a couple of reasons it's not a _total_ disaster in my mind:

* Partly, there are a larger number of Javascript developers that haven't been exposed to other ecosystems, and end up reinventing some wheels

* More importantly though, I think the pace of innovation in the javascript ecosystem is actually good in a way, because other more mature languages (I'm not talking about age of the language, just maturity of the tooling and ecosystem) have gone through the same growing pains, it just took a lot longer. It's easy to forget, coming from the Python world for instance, the pains of easy_install and distutils vs seuptools, etc etc. I still find Java dependency management a bit of a pain, because I don't know it very well.

We're just watching a sped up version of a language maturing, and it's painful as individual developers trying to keep up, but I don't think it's as negative as HN often makes it.
That is why this is a good move on stack overflow's part. They wand developers to feel like they have to use SO.

No, that doesn't work at all. OP is saying that he draws conclusions about someone's personality based on the Meyers-Briggs type with which they identify. That logic doesn't apply to the zodiac because your star-sign is based on your birthday. People don't lie about their birthday to become a Virgo. But they might fudge the answers to the Meyers-Briggs survey so they appear more "introverted" and "thinking". If you compare someone's self-view ("I'm an introvert!") with their behavior (definitely an extrovert), you can draw conclusions. This is more than "fun to talk about". It's standard practice in psychology.
Spot instances are pretty painful for training. It's annoying to have the machine randomly shut down.
Good point! I am planning to add this description to the site as well.

There are two problems in stock photo search. First, there are multiple marketplaces with different inventory and price structures. So if you are looking for stock photos that are not very common, you need to go to multiple marketplaces, search and comb through the results. We solve this by using APIs from those marketplaces to bring results for your search so you do not need to go and repeat your search at multiple marketplaces.

This leads us to the second problem. You now have a lot of photos to comb through. This is where the AI comes in. You "like" few of the photos in the search result that are close to what you are looking for and the AI learns your preferences to bring the results that are similar to the ones you have liked.

Nitpicking about what words mean when it isn't relevant to the substance of the discussion is always annoying -- but it's even worse when you're actually wrong.

What you are describing is called a "kernel", which is one important part of an OS. No one (or almost no one) uses "OS" as a synonym for "kernel".

Linux is a kernel. Desktop Linux (Ubuntu or whatever) is not the same OS as Android.
As a conversation piece, sure, it is an interesting framework.

As a tool, though, its utility remains doubtful. Its test-retest reliability is very low, meaning that, if you give the same person the test at two different times, you're likely to get two different results. This strongly suggests that, while the test might capture aspects of a person's personality, it's also functioning like a glorified mood ring. Without some way to separate those two aspects, its utility as an indicator of anything useful about any one individual is highly suspect.
“We have big firewalls, really strict firewalls to make sure no one can operate the airbags and take over the car."

>we may need legal remedies to solve the problem

I doubt we can solve this problem legal way because all economic forces are against us.

Making a product secure costs many times more than making a product itself. "Regular security updates" is a nightmare to vendors. Nobody actually does it, especially on consumer market. Vendors react to massively exploited vulnerabilities at best. Any long-term maintenance, including security, simply don't fit into current business models.

And people want cheap products, they don't want secure products. Government contractors want super cheap products (with support but this doesn't change much). And education/propaganda won't change that until some big disaster happen.

>Picture hackers employed by a hostile nation finding a way to command large numbers of cars on U.S. roads. Picture those hackers ordering the vehicles to suddenly accelerate and turn hard to the right, flipping them over, killing many passengers and clogging freeways with junked cars.

Car only needs a computer - not a network. Modern cars already have computers. Picture hackers employed by a yadda yadda remotely disabling power-steering on cars across the nation or disabling ABS and you have the same disaster scenario in an already-existing attack vector.

I also had incredible "fit" with Enneagram. I'm not sure I agree about it not being a good business tool, though. I've met a great Quality Manager who almost certainly was a type 6 (which is naturally focused on finding risks and things that might go wrong). The level to which his position matched his personality was striking - he was extremely good at what he was doing and he loved it.
I know a type 6 girl who dropped her job as editor and became a software tester as well. She just liked doing it.

Similarly you could reason about type 7 and their ideal job position: they see more opportunieties and options than others (Steve Jobs was said to be 7w8), but they often dismiss any risks involved. They also hate repetitive day to day work. Hence they would make better Architect, Analyst, UX Designer or Salesperson than a Project Manager (unless they are eg. balanced by a 6 in their team).

I'm not saying that we should choose job solely on the type, it just offers lot of opportunities to understand what is it specifically in given activity that we like and what goes naturally against our habits. Whether we change the job or just work on the weaknesses is up to us.
Two important points.

>It's not like Apple does this kind of thing every day

1. Just because you don't hear about it doesn't mean it doesn't happen all the time to less known developers with no public voice.

2. What's his incentive not to take the out Apple offered him? If he was guilty & had no problem lying, why the heck wouldn't he grab the opportunity to be reinstated?

The only rational incentive to hold his ground is if he actually believes he is in the right. Which indicates that his story is likely true.

I agree that he could just as easily be lying, but the series of events and decisions fit much better with a guy who feels hurt and in the right, versus a guy who has no problem lying and being dishonest publicly.

Have you tried a tiling WM like i3? If you unplug and replug monitors you're just changing what workspaces are displayed where. The experience is identical if you have one or many monitors.

It is not an overnight solution. It took many decades to get to where we are today, and it will take many more decades to reverse.

Second, most American cities are really not that dense. So, yes you could move many more people within city limits or at least closer. The reason people are so far away in the first place is because of subsidized costs.

Third, I agree with you. And that is not quite fair. I am pretty sure when we saw gas prices spike a few years ago, you could also see a dip in house prices for the far out subburbs of cities.

Fourth, If driving were much more expensive, more trains and buses would exist to fill the need and take you many more places.

The article glosses over this, but the taxpayers suffer from many non-monetary costs which often are overlooked: injury risk, noise and air pollution, limited walking mobility, to name a few.

If it "[i]s in our nature, just like sex" then why wouldn't violence be in our best interest? Why wouldn't we be more productive just doing what we want? If it really is our nature, then how is our "modern luxur[y]?" It has been established that while violence is the human condition, altruism also has an evolutionary origin[0].

I feel like the "sweet water/bitter water" dichotomy that the Christian tradition left us[1] has been so damaging because it has formed this perspective that we can only be bad and we can only be good, rather than we can be both. I do believe some people might have different tendencies than others and some may be prone to violence or prone to love but to assume your inclinations extend to everyone else is stupid.

Okay, but a big part of the opposition to raising necessary taxes to maintain infrastructure is the notion: "I already pay for that." So pointing out that no, you don't already pay for that, you're being subsidized in this case, becomes really important.

In any case, I'd argue that pushing more of the costs of roads onto the immediate road-users would internalize now-externalized costs, produce better incentives, and ultimately more efficient use of resources of many kinds.

Basically I think it comes down to:

1. In the browser we have less control over the environment the code runs in, requiring tooling to achieve a stable, normalised environment which we can improve at our own pace, rather than the rate at which browsers are updated.

2. JS has become very widely used very quickly, which means that there have been lots of hastily built things, which have been replaced by better things (and for every 'better thing' there are many alternatives which fell by the wayside), and a larger pool of people to build them.

3. It's easier than ever to build new tools (or any kind of app, for that matter), because the npm ecosystem makes it trivial to combine existing smaller pieces of code into new combinations.
