I tried switching to nix, but homebrew's command line argument "design" has spoiled me. With homebrew I'm usually able to guess command arguments, where as with every other package manager I have to google when I want to do something I haven't done before.

For example, I want to search for a package name before installing. I'm guessing it's just "brew search pkg"... yup. Now what do I do with nix? Google says it's "nix -qa pkg", that totally makes sense, and I just love how I have to memorize some arcane letters.

This is true for virtually every linux package manager I've tried (wtf is apt-cache? I can't remember pacman commands after using it for a year). Seriously, typing anything with a minus sign is slower than typing word, so what's even the point? At this point I won't (choose to) use a package manager that doesn't get this right.

I charge USD 35/hr and offer full stack services for Java/Scala, AngularJS/JS platforms. I have about 8 years of experience now.

I like to keep myself occupied for 6 hours on long term projects and keep 2-3 hours for short term projects. It helps me maintain my diversification across clients.

I am a bit of tech nerd and offer discounts for exciting ideas based projects, specially for startup. I think such projects are win-win for me as tech nerd and client as low cost delivery.

Feel free to reach me out at naveensky(.at.)gmail(.dot.)com. I always keep looking for new exciting projects :)

Sure, but the label tells us nothing unless it identifies the particular strain(s) that have been modified. Simple "GMO" vs. "non-GMO" labels are anti-informative. They have net negative utility as they don't tell us whether something is safe or dangerous, they just muddy a discussion that could be perfectly clear.

IMO anti-GMO advocates should be pushing for more specific strain/cultivar labels on food, not just a useless label that says "produced with genetic engineering." Then pro-GMO, tentatively accepting, and anti-GMO groups can all be satisfied.

Hi, glad to see you here. We were using spark for logistic regression training but switch to MPI now, because of the 2GB problem. I think LR was spark's killer feature, would you make it better? Thanks.
Yes, but they would want to have that key to be limited to only allow replacing of GPLv3 binaries. Just because I can demand a key to replace GPLv3 components doesn't mean I can demand a key to replace other software components, so the verification system has to be able to use different keys for different parts of the system. (If that is wrong, and I can demand a key for everything, then that is the obvious answer why we'll never see GPLv3 on there. Or even if it is unclear what the actual situation is)

I work in an adjacent building to where they developed the Laser Weapon System (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0DbgNju2wE). It seems like the Navy and military in general is moving toward no bullets.

Though I have no idea how expensive it is to fire a massive laser compared to older weapons.

Mate, I live in Stockport, ye? I've seen pictures from the '90s and they weren't pretty. The River Mersey was flowing red, and was literally an open-air dump. With all the effort that's gone into cleaning it up since, the real difference has been that industry around here mostly shut down because it's now cheaper to do the shitty stuff elsewhere. What's left is between Warrington and Birkinhead, and doesn't the air look shit on that side all the time, pollution checks be damned. There are old chemical companies based here that nowadays manufacture and sell only outside the EU, because Euro regulations are too stringent for them (everyone's guess, of course, is that all this "red tape" will disappear in the glorious brexit, relaunching UK manufacturing and likely painting rivers red again). These people care very little for rates of cancer and all that noise, and there is simply no way to make what they make "cleanly".

England in the 80s was a polluted clusterfuck as much as anywhere, maybe not as lung-killing as when Lowry painted his grey skies (which was post-Great War, not Victorian!) but still pretty shit. You might be living in a green Southern village where people cycle in tweed, but I can assure you that up in the Northern Poorhouse "environmental protection" is always very, very low on the agenda, today as much as yesterday.

If you read my parent comment again, I said "UP TO 20 years ago". As in, we had big, visible, significant problems; then industry decamped, and changes in the landscape have been significant since then. Did previous policies improve things? Sure, but the real game changer was moving the shit-making factories elsewhere: China, India, and developing countries. No amount of policies will fully protect the environment if a man's paycheck depends on not protecting it. Dude, we still run DIESEL TRAINS, for god's sake. In 2016. In what is basically a flat country.

I wrote about the Brazilian company that created this system, TecToy, last year. As impressive as the Genesis returning to production is, even more notable is the fact that TecToy has had different versions of the Master System in continuous production since the '80s.

http://tedium.co/2015/07/16/sega-master-system-brazil/

There were a number of reasons for this, but the biggest is high import taxes. TecToy produced its consoles locally, and as a result, it was cheaper to buy a SMS than it was a NES.

If that's how you do math, the sky's the limit.

206% means x3.06, so (s)he was previously making 1/3.06 of the new rate, which is roughly 32.7% of the new rate. Assuming the new rate was "at market", the old rate was 67.3% below market.

Math like that is why I make the big bucks. (I do not currently make the big bucks.)

It's a surface ship, so it doesn't have a prayer against a submarine. Russia, China, and any hypothetical technologically sophisticated foe all have submarines.
It doesnt kill of anything, it only opens up Microsoft tech (and it's developers) to more technologies.

You can still use Visual Studio to build everything, and many will continue to do so, over VSCode. IIS is free. Windows Server is the only thing that they might lose out on licensing but they make it up with Azure running the underlying infrastructure. SQL Server is a great database and formidable opponent to the Oracle and other enterprise options while still being available for SMBs.

Meanwhile, many developers can now be introduced to the rich .NET ecosystem and run it alongside their other open-source/linux stacks, only growing the overall exposure and tools, applications, and revenue involved for Microsoft.
Duplication of function is a good thing, militarily. You wouldn't want the Navy to be unable to fly because the Air Force had an issue or was unable to immediately respond.
Face it, often the available processing time is very much finite, and the slower version just doesn't cut it.

And the same holds for memory. Your system has only so much of it, and for applications with many small objects most high level languages are very memory-inefficient if written in an idiomatic style. This can easily amount to a size factor of 20x in what's processable at all (disregarding execution time). Add garbage collection (which can "drown" processing) and the factor might even be higher.

Try adding a few Integers to a Java map and you will be surprised how inefficient it is.
>...To assume that those who prefer to buy organic are knowingly accepting that mutation-bred foods should be labeled organic I think is a little disingenuous.

Disingenuous? I certainly didn't claim that people who buy organic understand what they are buying and I don't appreciate your insinuation. I simply said that these crops have not prohibited by any nation's organic standards.
I wouldn't worry about employers but I could see this being a major issue for spouses.
There is no such thing as just "eating food" - you are making diet choices, consciously and/or subconsciously in everything you choose to eat. Your comment is loaded with all sorts of diet judgement (fiber good, salt bad, balanced good, processed bad). We could find out barley causes cancer, or even though you thrive on a meaty diet, it causes heart disease. Or diet doesn't matter and it is all genetic or micro-biome. There is no diet that isn't beta testing.
And so can a barge in principle.

Well, yes, now that you mention it, those little across-the-board raises have occurred.

Judy Asks: Is America Still the Guardian of Transatlanticism?
You know, you make some good points, but unfortunately, you're so unbelievably condescending that I can't make it through an entire comment.
The article you linked to cites a price of about $250k per round, not $80k/rd, and the government is apparently buying over 7000 rounds. Given the lower purchase quantity and similar technology, a 3x increase for the new round seems believable.

I mean, it's still crazy to be spending so much per round, but it's believable.

To put it in more concrete terms, unless P(bad|GMO) >> P(bad), the information gained by a generic GMO label is at best minimal. At that point a "contains GMO" label isn't much more useful than a "contains baryonic matter" label.

In anecdotal terms, suppose I'm mildly allergic to a particular cultivar of apples, but some apples are okay. Saying that a product contains apples doesn't help me know whether it's safe for me to eat. This hypothetically allergic me would need to know that it contains red delicious apples, or granny smith apples.

Some GMOs simply add vitamins. Those are likely to be safer than GMOs that increase herbicidal resistance, which are in turn likely to be safer than GMOs that introduce pesticides. If a subset of the population is sensitive to Bt toxin, they need to know what kind of GMO is in a product, not just that something has GMO (as Bt, according to other comments in the thread, can be used even on organic-labeled foods).
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I have a really hard time with this, too. I've seen the problems it's caused me personally and in the US with its crippling polarization. There have been some discussions around HN recently:

I also found Jonathan Haidt's "The Righteous Mind"[0] really worthwhile. I mean to read it again in the next week or so. What I find particularly impressive with his work is that he found that his research actually changed his own thinking.

[0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Haidt

And you know, re-reading your response "I've never had facts change anyone's mind", I think even if you don't change someone's mind at the time, finding some common ground, something you agree on is a worthwhile accomplishment. Sometimes it seems the gulf between us is so large. Recognizing that it might not be is reassuring.

I hope you find these useful!
Should I insure that 70% somehow?

>Same as any prototype or sufficiently advanced aircraft like the F-117, pave the way for future generations ...

The F-117 had an incredibly useful operational life, though. I can't imagine these three destroyers having anywhere near the relative effectiveness that the F-117 program brought to the table for its time.
If you want to attract the majority of users, you need to have at least some aesthetic in your product. Try to research Polymail and Nylas N1.

He has however made it clear he thinks we don't need them to be competitive, which is why I used that word.
The Web is the only platform for mass-market applications that is not controlled by a single vendor. Not coincidentally, it has multiple independent implementations with significant market share that interoperate pretty well. It's the only platform that lets software vendors deliver applications (mostly) unhindered to all users, even users who are otherwise trapped in walled gardens.

So if you fear monopolies and want to see ongoing untrammeled innovation in mass-market applications, you want the Web to thrive.
It's worth noting that this is in Brazil, which is notorious for having ludicrous import tariffs for technology, including gaming tech. I was there a few years ago and you still saw PS2 games on the shelf at major electronic retailers, because it was still the most affordable console on the market by far. Note that the company producing this, TecToy, is a Brazilian company and thus presumably has an easier time with the tariffs.
I hear you clear from your short response :) Other than time, What's the next hardest thing?
From the source I have given:

> A recent study compared the effectiveness of a rotenone-pyrethrin mixture versus a synthetic pesticide, imidan. Rotenone and pyrethrin are two common organic pesticides; imidan is considered a "soft" synthetic pesticide (i.e., designed to have a brief lifetime after application, and other traits that minimize unwanted effects). It was found that up to 7 applications of the rotenone- pyrethrin mixture were required to obtain the level of protection provided by 2 applications of imidan.

> It seems unlikely that 7 applications of rotenone and pyrethrin are really better for the environment than 2 applications of imidan, especially when rotenone is extremely toxic to fish and other aquatic life.

I know it is anecdotal evidence, but organic farmers would not care if the fertilizer/pesticide made from mined minerals are better/worse for the environment or not as long as it passes the "organic" criteria. A rather more useful criteria IMO would be "relatively harmless to the environment"
It would prevent privilege escalation attacks on binaries that I have already installed in /usr/local/bin. Yes, packages installed in /opt/homebrew/bin could be attacked separately, but at least the vulnerable binaries are isolated so it's easier to keep an eye on them and make sure none of them are ever run with privileges.

But you're right: to really fix this problem requires that homebrew change its installation process entirely.
This is exactly how it is for me too. When I was younger I would feel so connected to the game world, and the wonders of exploring the game world were real wonders to me. Discovering some new village in Ultima 6 made me feel like a great adventurer. A finder of something. If it was important in the game world then it was important.

These days it falls out just like you wrote: if I try to play a game, I mess around for a bit and then think: I could spend this time doing something creative. Making something, learning something. If I found some modern equivalent of a hidden city in a game, I'd think: so what? Who fucking cares? What does that get me?

I still can't figure out if this means there's something really wrong with me, that I can't even enjoy meaningless pursuits; or maybe that my sense of 'meaning' is so restricted; or if it's the opposite, and my reticence to do those things is a sign that I'm spending time the right way, or at least, that I have the right objective function in how I evaluate my time?

Of course, I'm a miserable bastard. That's probably an important data point. But I'm not sure how I could change even if I was sure that I should.
TLDR: Women author knows dont like actual gameplay part of games, they like narratives. She cant come up with narrative driven games therefore all 'Games Are Boring'.

But it's rationally unsound and unscientific to argue that all GMOs are unsafe and evil. So if anti-GMO people want to stop people from eating/producing GMOs, they should find less opposition to specific labeling than to generic labeling. Otherwise it's too easy to paint them as uninformed.

I think you're right that the intended purpose of generic GMO labels is to muddy the issue and spread uncertainty, which is exactly what they do. I am arguing that this strategy is counterproductive in the long-term, both to the anti-GMO cause and to society's health and informational well-being.
Really interesting what high import taxes will do.

Craziest of all - Tectoy ported Street Fighter 2 for the 8-bit Master System... in 1997. It's predictably terrible but really, it's amazing it happened at all.
The original quote you're thinking of is this one, I presume:

"Each Javelin round costs $80,000, and the idea that it’s fired by a guy who doesn’t make that in a year at a guy who doesn’t make that in a lifetime is somehow so outrageous it almost makes the war seem winnable.”
Games aren't getting more shallow and casual. More likely you're just getting older and developing a preference for nostalgia over novelty.
I don't think so. In my experience brew only has a very limited selection of versions of packages, which is understandable.

>If you want a larger field of view or higher resolution this comes with an exponential increase in number of pixels.

How does that work? Shouldn't it be just linear in FOV? Or quadratic if you are talking about solid angle? This doesn't seem like one of those things that grows exponentially.

Indeed, it was just the worry that something nasty like this could happen that made me weasel my initial definite assertion into the form of a question. Thank you for this informal explanation; it nicely complements openasocket's formal reference (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12893077).

You don't have to count the hours, that's not the point. If you enjoy a game you don't want to finish it fast, you want to take it slow and enjoy every moment of it. I played a game for over 300 hours in more than a couple of years because it was a pleasant activity, not to beat it: I finished the main story at about 100 hours, there was nothing left to beat (open sandbox), but it was fun.
