Read the context - I was merely echoing what was written there.

I wouldn't have initiated such name-calling, but I do think the OP's reaction is over the top and silly, given the context.
Oh, thanks! I missed that.
Why are you instilling your child with such a reverence for private property? Taking the toy could be morally justified if the schoolmate is a child of the parasitical classes. Your 'solid reasoning' is severely lacking a grounding in material dialectics IMO, you're practically brainwashing them with capitalist absurdity.
Is that because of longstanding racial animosity or some other reason?
If I had to guess, the combination of matching CCs + matching test devices (i.e. when _both_ are the same) has a fairly low false positive rate for identifying fraudulently-linked accounts.

This type of probabilistic inference is how fraud detection works in everything from Apple to Paypal to world banks.

I would even go so far as to call that aforementioned combination a smoking gun.
Its disheartening to see so many duplicate efforts to solve the same problems everyone faces. Instead of supporting an existing open-source project that attempts to solve the problem in pretty much the same way (jspm), a conglomerate once again builds their own from scratch. I do not think the underlying motivations for doing so are questioned enough. Sure there is control, but it is of course anyway-you-slice-it an aggrandizement of their brand. We should be ashamed as a community to support the idea of yet ANOTHER client side dependency management system. How oh how did we ever solve this problem before Facebook came along and made Yarn in late 2016?

Beauty is really subjective.

Oh you shouldn't have opened this can of worms.

Now that you have done so, I have a simple retort.

The only person of African descent to win a real* Nobel Prize was Sir William Arthur Lewis for Economics, and that chap was obviously fairly well anglicized. Just look at his bio!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Arthur_Lewis

* If we're working with the colloquial meaning of the phrase Nobel Prize, then winning it for 'Peace', while honorable and relevant to Alfred's original intent, isn't an intellectual feat. Intellectual prowess has nothing to do with morality, noble though it could be.

Now onto Muslims.

From Wikipedia:

Muslims make up over 23% of the world's population.[5][6][7] And as of 2015, twelve Nobel Prize winners have been Muslims.

Again, if you discount 'Peace' then only 3 Muslims have obtained a Nobel Prize for an intellectual reason.

If one categorizes writing as of equal intellectual consequence as physics or chemistry, you only get an additional 2 winners.

The long and short of it is that African and Middle Easterners are populations which are in the billions but which have a single digit number of Nobel Prize winners.

That makes perfect sense even if you don't believe race is a real biological concept since those are the areas of our planet that have experienced the least amount of progress, dare I say civilization.

If you dispute the Nobel Prize as evidence of an objective way to measure intellectual prowess I'll completely agree with you (even though I believe more objective metrics are likely to yield similar results), there are many intelligent people who have performed feats who don't get a Nobel Prize, but then maybe it points to the idea you shouldn't write headlines like "Amid debate, all 2016 American Nobel laureates are immigrants" because that is total bullshit.
fair enough. my comment was definitely overly grumpy
Personality typing is obviously incredibly shaky ground because of the huge potential for the suggestion bias, but we shouldn't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
It's almost obvious that there are patterns of human behaviour that are often distinctive and repetitive across society. It's hard to identify these regularities and we should be sceptical about any blatant simplifications, but we shouldn't stop trying to understand them.

There is another personality typing method called Enneagram, that takes a more interesting approach than static M-B. Rather than attributing some essential properties to each person, it assumes that personality is formed by a set of cognitive habits. These habits condition our attention to pick specific aspects of experience and giving it interpretation in line with this bias. Most people use all of these 9 identified patterns, but one is dominant, and hence it defines what we perceive as personality.

These habits are mostly crystalised in childhood and depend on the environment and upbringing. Eg. when a child is punished at random without any consequence there's a chance it will become type 8, on the other hand if there's great deal of regularity and rules at home, it may and up as type 1 etc. Seems like a gross oversimplification, but it's just an example of this type of conditioning.

The general approach seems legit (based on what we know about cognitive science), but what's more important, learning about these 9 habits/types usually leads to incredible insights into one's behaviour. There's lot of regularities that we suddenly find in our actions that fit specifically to one of these 9 types.

Unlike what article states about M-B, Ennegram mostly focuses on the dark, habitual and unconscious aspects of each personality, so it's much less susceptible to the "horoscope effect" (where we're more likely to attribute anything positive to ourselves).

I try to challenge it as much as possible, because as anything related to personality it may become a self fulfilling prophecy, but still I found it very hard to falsify, there's just a lot of positive evidence.

Since there's strong overrepresentation of rational thinkers on HN I'd love to hear some comments from anyone here who took Enneagram test or heard about it (there's a lot of free tests on the internet).

There is no sentient life in Mars. If there is microbial life on Mars, it is not making efficient use of its resources. I will not trade the billions of future people that might call a terraformed Mars home for some scum on the bottom of a rock.

fwiw, only 2 of those humans work on the CLI, (3 if you count their manager, who spends a lot of time managing). other people work in sales, marketing, engineering on the website, engineering the registry, community + docs, etc.

wombat is not a tool for managing our other commercial services! it's a way to manage our webhooks product, one of many products we have, though very certainly the smallest.

yarn depends on the npm registry, which depends on npm, Inc making money to keep it running.
So make applications that scale appropriately to the screen. The OSX hack of pretending the screen has exactly one quarter as many pixels as it does for certain purposes is clever and looks good on the tiny range of hardware that OSX supports, but it is a hack and not really a sustainable solution for a general-purpose OS (how does it end up looking on a 4k TV? On a high-DPI projector?).

I don't think about M-B or Tarot or astrology as predictive, they are mindfulness prods: interesting frameworks to break up and reframe the narratives we tell ourselves about who we are. A horoscope that tells me "this week will present challenges at work about money" is likely to prod me into mindfulness about work and money than I would be otherwise. Similarly, my ESTJ M-B type is more likely to make me mindful about where I get my energy and the ways in which rigorously analytical thinking may not be the way lots of other humans approach decisions.
You say "decent performance" and "predictability". What is the basis of this claim? I've heard these all before, but unless you've actually shipped a product using this tool I don't know how you can back this up.
An All-Hands does three things. It celebrates people and accomplishments; it drive alignment around mission, strategy and priorities;

I couldn't read past this part. It has corporate HR blather right at the top. If you see wording like this in a meeting proposal it is guaranteed to be a huge waste of time.

I see I'm being downvoted for this opinion, but I ask you. What exactly does it mean to "drive alignment" in real terms. What are you going to do differently? It's nonsense words that HR uses make it sound like they're important to making your products.
I'm sure it will.

Search "go" on google, and the first link is the programming language. Search on any other search engine, and as one might expect, the definition or the game of go is ahead of the language.
Okay, then you release your recorded call AFTER they defect (I'm not saying he shouldn't have covered his ass by recording the call, that's the smart thing I would've also done). Imagine how bad that would look for Apple.

Ask HN: 5th grader seeking science mentor in California
Hi all,

I teach two 5th graders science and programming privately three days a week and am trying to get them involved with some engineers/scientists in an open dialogue of sorts to inspire them and give them some insight into the world of applied science. I have already scheduled us for some interesting tours of aerospace companies and a lab or two, but I am really hoping I can find someone interested in an ongoing relationship with my students who we could maybe visit or skype with once a month or so, to keep a thread going that had some continuity. I am trying to change two very bright students lives and could use any help I can get. Where would you look if you were me? Who would you contact? Any ideas whatsoever are appreciated.

Thank you!
Mr. W
Read your second sentence in the context of the first.
The Space Shuttle was originally called 'station shuttle', as it was meant to service a large orbital space station (planned to be launched in the 1970s). Unfortunately for NASA, its budget was cut during and after the Apollo missions, and it decided to postpone the station, but keep the shuttle. The MIT course on the Space Shuttle is very informative; you might find the episode on the decision to build the shuttle particularly interesting.[1]

You are right, we aren't 100% compatible right now. Please track the issues on the Yarn GitHub repo that you linked or better yet: help us fix it. This is a community project and we are excited for the community to jump in and help us out and complete the few missing pieces.

I agree local development with many packages can be hard. For Jest we adopted `lerna`

See https://github.com/facebook/jest and https://github.com/lerna/lerna which makes cross-package development in a mono-repo a lot of fun. Maybe that solution will work for you?

Well, that is an interesting list of geological things we learned, but we also learned a lot about ourselves.

For example, we learned that it is possible for humans to design a system that can carry people to the moon and return them safely to the Earth. Before we did that, no one knew if that was true.

We learned about the Overview Effect, which astronauts say changed their view on humanity.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_effect

Some people say that the environmental protection movement was started on Earth after people saw what it looked like from a distance. And while those images could be captured by robotic cameras, I can easily imagine that it helped having actual live humans get to experience that and share what they felt. We can relate to people much more than we can relate to a robot.

I don't expect you to agree with me. But I think it is significant for actual humans to go out and do these things. It is more inspiring to people here on Earth. And I think that inspiration is valuable and produced tangible benefits on Earth.
One of the hardest things to do is choosing the right battles. Ask, is this worth it? If it's an API integration point primarily for internal use I wouldn't insist on it. If the API is changing too much right now that documentation would quickly become obsolete, I wouldn't worry about it. It might be easier and cheaper to get a backend engineer to answer your questions.

If you are expecting clients to integrate with your backend without documentation, and you do not have an enterprise-level agreement, then it would be a deterrent for integration on most teams. Making that case should be straightforward. More documentation would mean more adoption, which means more value for the company.
If it's his credit card, then the account is his responsibility. And it's not a stretch to link accounts that are the responsibility of the same person.
Haha thanks.
The truth I think is not good or bad or neither, it is both good and bad at the same time. While the USA has had a mixed legacy of death, destruction, and violence we also have a legacy of freedom, love, and peace. The hope is that we acknowledge both today and choose to follow a path of peace, not of evil.

This may come off as a troll, but it's an honest question. I'm not a javascript guy. It's not a language I deal with at all. Why on God's green earth does it need as much tooling as it seems to have? Are people really making projects with dozens (hundreds? more?) of dependent libraries? Are there aspects of the language or runtime that reward multiple layers of configuration management? In short, what the hell is up with this ecosystem?
Hmm. It's hard to remember all the issues, but this was the period where LLVM moved from their "old JIT" backend to MCJIT [1]. IIRC, 3.4 broke the old JIT but MCJIT still wasn't developed enough for Julia to use. At some point the old JIT was removed entirely but MCJIT was still not usable (for us) and that didn't resolve itself entirely until 3.7.

OK, i'll bite: so what do psychologists believe is a good way to learn about people?
It's so cold on mars we could take advantage of geo-thermal properties of the planet perhaps and dig tunnels.

But I think the main problem we need to solve is the overconsumption of the planet we currently inhabit.

> If you assume power of 80% (not crazy in rigorous studies) and 50% of programs having an effect...

You're making another assumption: that the power calculations are actually rigorous and the effect size (not "having an effect", but "having an effect of at least the size used to calculate power at a given alpha") is sufficient. If you've ever designed a clinical trial or written up the statistics for a grant, you know damned well that these numbers are cooked 6 ways from Sunday.

Colquhoun is a sharp guy (I have debated various fine points with him on several occasions and he has convinced me with reproducible examples that I was wrong in my beliefs). It would be nice if the name of the article was "It's time for science to abandon the term statistically significant", as in the URL, because that's the real point here.

"Signficance" can only be judged in context. Post all your data and then we'll see whether you can be believed. But that notion of transparency is absolutely terrifying to the sorts of senior scientists who control most funding and peer review at the moment. It's OK, though; the rest of us put up preprints knocking down the most egregious lies and those who care about the truth can have it (for free, no paywall).

I've got plenty of Cell, Nature, and NEJM papers on my CV; direct support on grants where I am PI, Co-I, or KP is over $5M; and I still think the situation is fucked up. I'm not bitter because I feel left out; I'm bitter because I fear that the bad money is driving out the good, as it always does.

Take away the monetary incentive, the Journal Impact Factor BS, the "prestige" of hoodwinking 3-5 referees with a pile of STAP or single-sample comparisons (had to warn a student about this when he pulled some data from a Nature paper that a respectable MSKCC scientist gooned for...) and let's see what's left...
absolutely agree with 0xfffafaCrash on this, just because a measure is imperfect and has varying levels of validity depending on the person doesn't mean it has no signal.

If you are extremely paranoid about security, you generate your own primes and do a lot of (super-computer style) computation to verify their strength. I have not read this whole paper yet but it seems like there is growing concern about widely used primes published by authorities without proving how they came up with the number.
If the human settlement of space is to be made a reality, then the plans for it need to be more measured and realistic.

First, it needs to be recognized that we don't know how human biology is going to cope with the radiation and gravity environment encountered in space. More precisely, we know that our biology copes poorly, and we don't know how to fix that from a biological perspective. The only solutions we have in our grasp are one, bring the gravity up to 1G with a rotating habitat, and two, shield humans from the radiation experienced in space with magnets and mass. Any reasonable plan to "settle" space must begin by addressing these.

Second, Mars is just not the place to start, because it's too far away. People are fond of pointing out that Mars's atmosphere makes landing there less costly than landing on the Moon, but this ignores the fact that you have to bring life support and food along for the 4- to 6-month long trip. (The atmosphere is also very little help, for example, for Musk's plan.) It is more accurate to say that it is slightly less costly to land on Mars for a day than it is to land an entire Lunar base and live on the Moon for 6 months. Add to this the return trip time to Earth for emergencies (or the time it takes to send emergency supplies and crew), and the Moon wins, hands down. (Indeed, a better place to work out how to survive on Mars would be if you could find places on the Moon where we couldn't land and had to rely on weeks of overland travel from a landing site to get there.)

Third, the absolute first step should be an experimental, shielded, rotating habitat (probably built from Lunar materials) in orbit either outside of Earth's van Allen belts or around the Moon. This habitat should be of sufficient size to address the effects of, at least, Moon-like (1/6) and Mars-like (1/3) gravity on human subjects for multiple years. It needs to either be able to spin up and down to these values, have separate sections for Mars and Moon gravity, or we need to have a separate base on the Moon. We already know that space kills us in many, many ways. Until we have characterized how we're even going to survive there, there is absolutely no sense in talking about settling there.

Any announcement that doesn't address these directly is just PR.
I would be fine with everyone paying for the roads and them being actually available for everyone. The problem is that many roads are made only for cars and do not have adequate side walks and protected bike lanes such that everyone can use them.
Yes, but not at nearly the right levels to actually be proportional to the road damage caused. Here's a chart of actual registration fees in NY, for example [1]. If we were actually charging fees corresponding to weight-induced damage, an 18,000 pound truck would have a registration fee in the thousands of dollars, not the <$300 it actually is.

Because if you don't push users to update they won't. And then they'll be owned by a 6 month old security vulnerability in a random drive by malware advertisement or internet worm or whatever and their machine will join yet another botnet.

It's designed to make not updating as difficult as updating so neglectful users don't default to not updating.
This is also common in the US (at least in Minnesota).
So, as a casual user of node... Should I switch? I don't see any immediate benefits.
Look at what's actually in there:

/* Apple's socket address. */

struct sockaddr_in {
__uint8_t sin_len;
sa_family_t sin_family;
in_port_t sin_port;
struct in_addr sin_addr;
char sin_zero[8];
}

Why is sin_len that necessary? The socket functions have a length parameter, including bind:

int bind(int sockfd, const struct sockaddr *addr,
socklen_t addrlen);

If this redundant length is necessary, why is it okay to lie and set it to zero? The length of the address sure isn't zero.

If sin_zero must be zero, why doesn't the bind function make it so?

Don't add a member to the end of a struct just so that padding has a name, and then make me initialize it.

POSIX defines a type called struct sockaddr_storage which is at least as large as the largest sockaddr_* type. There is no need to pad the various sockaddr-s up to that size; the sockaddr_storage can be used to declare storage large enough to receive any address.

With tiny modular utilities this is very much necessity - and not a bad idea if the different versions are being used in different contexts.

For instance, when using gemified javascript libraries with bundler it is painful to upgrade to a different version of a javascript library for the user facing site while letting the backend admin interface continue using an older one for compatibility with other dependencies.
fwiw npm really needs an `exec` command like bundler has (ie `npm exec bin-cmd`).

"$(npm bin)/bin-cmd" is getting really old
