Fibre To The Node is to the street, Fibre To The Home is into your house.

This is a decent summary of the situation in Australia. The NBN rollout map, however, makes things look better than they are. There are places that have been stuck at “in development” for about three years now, and none of the areas that I ever look at seem to change. NBN has been much hyped, but has fizzled much more than you’d expect. Or hope.

I want to move out of Melbourne to a place in the country with good Internet supply (Stawell vicinity, mostly), but it’s surprisingly difficult to find housing in NBN-connected areas. Take Stawell for example: at a broad level you look on that map and see it’s covered. But it’s not: everywhere around it is covered, but Stawell itself is not covered. I’m not certain why, but I’m guessing there are difficulties in the line-of-sight fixed wireless installations.

" ObamaCare doesn't actually provide any care for people"

This is not true. Obamacare included a very large expansion of 'medicaid' which is more like single payer healthcare, i.e. 'government paid for / free healthcare'.

It's also interesting that the pair vs TDD divide is often based on the solution space.

Service/backend programmers often extol TDD because it is easy when working in a single language where your only IO is strings (i.e. Undergrad CS)

Front-end programmers may use TDD in certain established contexts, but pair may be more important when there are numerous integrations across unsupported toolchains. For example, when was the last time you used TDD with CSS? Oh? Too hard to verify that the CSS for a page makes it so that you can't click a button or print a page? Oh? Market bug isn't your responsibility?

Yeah, I see a lot of defensiveness when TDD is impossibly hard, so it's not "all that". But, use it if it makes sense. Know your tools and use the right tool for the job.

The big pictures in this case is:

You use a neuronal network to decide at each step to flap the birds wings or not. That is the only output. The input is only the birds height (y-position) and the height of the next hole.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedforward_neural_network)

The question now is how to find the correct weights for the net.

That net is not trained in a traditional supervised way like with gradient descent (which would be more complicated). Instead it uses a genetic algorithms to find new weights for neuronal networks of future generations.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_algorithm)

And that's basically it in this case.

How is any of Square's performance surprising though? I would be surprised if they are able to be more successful than other ISOs in the payment processing industry, and at this point the little niche they had has been commoditized like the rest of the industry.

Clover Go, Paypal Here, etc are eating their marketshare and can beat them on rates all day long, except for customers that don't make sense (high Amex/Visa Infinite usage), and First Data and their ISOs are happy to let Square lay there and bleed out from those "customers".

In section titled "3. Write Fewer, Valuable Tests", I don't understand the terminology ("controllers and plugs"), which I assume is some stuff in the Phoenix framework that I have no idea about. Can somebody possibly explain to me what are the "controllers and plugs" here? I'm very interested in learning a more general idea (how to effectively reduce lines of tests) from this nugget, that I could hopefully translate to different languages & frameworks I use...

Quoting the relevant fragment in full:

"We focused our automated tests on our controller actions and plugs rather than going for 100% test coverage. Since these are the main ways that the Phoenix application interfaces with the outside world, they’re the critical points of failure.

Controller tests also exercise a lot of the code paths in your application, making it less necessary to unit test every single module. As a result, you end up with fewer tests, which makes it easier to do refactoring, provided your changes preserve the behavior of the controllers and plugs."
You can blame it all on the EU if you like. We're still fucked. There's no way the EU will give us a good deal, and it turns out that no-one had any kind of realistic negotiating strategy.

I am a participant in one 45+ page thread that has spanned two years (client failures when using the iOS app with CarPlay). Several participants have posted exact steps to reproduce, including model and firmware numbers and yet there was one response, two years ago, from Spotify, stating that they were aware of the issue and we should try version 3.X (we're on version 6.X now).

It's so frustrating and totally avoidable on their part (just a check-in saying "we're still not sure what the cause is but we are looking at it" would make such a difference)

Ask HN: Why are Apps allowed to spam my email?
Hi,
ok I am really tired of this. Every new app I sign up for will start spamming my email as soon as I click sign-up (just got one from the app „Calm“ a minute ago).

Coming from an ecommerce background I ALWAYS have to have people opt-in for newsletters.

How are apps any different? Some may try to mask it as „reminders“ which is just BS. Some even have these lists where you have to tick-off 45 different email „notifications“. Ridiculous.

I wish there was a 1-Click „Sue your a$$“ button. Please just leave my email alone!
Donald Trump's side. Trump has repeatedly said he wants to remove all 11 million undocumented men, women, and children, by force if necessary. And that means more armed paramilitary shock troops in U.S. cities, more families held in immigrant detention centers, more children being condemned to violence and deprivation in countries they've never known, college students getting torn away from nearly-finished educations and productive careers to be imprisoned or deported, and so on.
Luckily I never experienced any of the issues here, but after reading all the comments I just decided to give Google Play Music a go. They even offer a 30 days free trial period.

Even better, Google Play music seems to support my current country. With Spotify I had to use an old credit card which was from the time I was living in Czech Republic.

The US code is 22 million words. [1] is a good visualization of it. I'd wager there are tons of redundancies that could be refactored. That being said, I'd also wager that careful refactoring is not on DJT's mind. More slash-and-burn the parts he doesn't like.

Hadoop etc is not just about raw scale. Scale is relative to what you are hoping to do with the data - so make the decision based on what you want to do with the data.

Hadoop ecosystem makes exploration easy since it'll support any type of computation (graph, text mining, ML model building/validation). If all you're looking to do is random-access of the data with a small number of known filters/joins at large scale, or you're under no time constraint to explore, then sufficiently optimised DB will be most efficient (and probably cost effective way). Hadoop is a trade-off for general purpose everything, but at cost of infra complexity and computational inefficiency.
I strongly doubt that. Trump most likely knows what he wants to do but if he can get it done is a different question.

Western tribalism is the emergence of a common voice among those who exercise their voice. At least those who take part take part on their terms and by enacting their will. These tribes are, for better or worse, movements.

There is no tribalism in Japan. There are clubs and extracurricular activities, and an emergence of groups who find comfort in interdependence.

Independent actors have common interests too. That isn't to be confused with interdependent actors simply getting together to avoid confrontation with society.

Crazy idea: if I wanted to implement Clojure on top of the ErlangVM, where should I start?

I would look at retargeting the ClojureScript code generator. Clojure implements a lot of primitives in Java, but ClojureScript is largely written in Clojure and ClojureScript itself so should be easier to port.

Ask HN: Will the US electoral voting system ever change?
Obviously no elected president is motivated to change a system that brought him into office. Nevertheless it seems crazy that one candidate gets the most votes and another takes office. I am from Germany where 1 vote really means 1 vote. Am I missing ways that this process could be changed by? Or is this really on the president alone? What are the changes this will ever happen?
I think people are afraid to do this in the US because they will be suspected of pick-pocketing it or some other form of liability.

The other thing is that presumably it's easily circumvented by dressing up multiple distinct regulations as a single new regulation.

If you make a habit of making regulations long and multifaceted because scope to pass new ones is limited, it probably becomes easier to bury terrible ideas in amongst things people actually really want to pass.

Bloomberg tech analysis is actually pretty positive. The senators that blocked IP/patent regulation change got the boot,other house/senate members that tech supported got in, the grid lock that has kept 'new issues' from even getting to the floor is gone (with more willing to deal people in power), Trump also has a high interest in infrastructure (including internet with some lobbying) and the tech mind set of ignoring Washington is gone.

IMO if tech comes out behind for this, it's going to be techs fault. I'll actually be really amused if they mess up this chance.

>>>Government is strongly limited by time. There's a hard ceiling on the amount of things that can be proposed, debated, and voted on within a term. Consequently, if there are things in the statute that are no longer used it's often better to simply ignore them than to spend precious time in the house arguing about removing them.

That is exactly why all laws should have sunset rules built into them.

Sure, but the priority order should be:

But of course incumbent bias is still dependent on the candidate not being unpopular.

I can see arguments for term limits, particularly in positions where the composition of the electorate means the other major party isn't likely to seriously challenge the governing party's preferred candidate (usually the incumbent) which makes their position very safe indeed.

But anti-corruption isn't one of them. Arguably, from a point of view of anti-corruption, the incumbent needs the special interests a lot less than the new challengers...

they did black box unit test instead of proper unit test.

e.g. if a method is private, it's not tested.

that's the usual way when full reliability is not worth the dev time, or when devs think functional tests only are enough but still want a tap on the back for having unit tests and coverage numbers.

in their case it's the later as you can see for: "Controller tests also exercise a lot of the code paths in your application"

classical functional tests being called unit tests excuse. not that functional is better or worse, but correct names are better no matter what.
