But here you know the content of the "envelope" before you decide whether to switch or not.

If the adversary was only allowed one pick I guess I'd only re-draw if I had less than 0.5 since statistically you'd be more likely to have a greater number than a weaker one. I'm not sure what the maths are but a simple implementation gave me an average value of about 0.625 using this strategy, so definitely an improvement over a single pick.

But I have the feeling that since the adversary can chose the same strategy maybe you should be a little more aggressive and redraw if you are at 0.5? But then the adversary would do the same so I guess the solution would eventually converge to a value a little above 0.6?

That'd be my guess at least.
That is what we do as well, but if you use a UI toolkit that includes it's own styles, you'll need to override them. That's where the fun hacks like .button.button.button come in to override the included styles.
I think companies in Europe pay a lot in compensation that doesn't show up as salary. E.g. pension contributions, longer vacation, higher payroll taxes.

So while there appears to be a large salary gap, the total cost to employ someone isn't quite as divergent.
But their system doesn't thrive on chaos monkey. It's just resilient to it.
I strongly recommend starting with http://teropa.info/blog/2015/09/10/full-stack-redux-tutorial...
The design looks amazing. I love how easy it is for "programmer ui design" to look quite good these days.
You mean the Power BI functionality (PowerQuery, PowerPivot, etc...)? Yeah, it's useful, but I'd suggest VLOOKUPs are more beginner-friendly and better for quick data manipulation.

That said, if you want to go from an Excel beginner to an intermediate user, then the Power BI functionality is definitely worth exploring.

It's also worth knowing how to work with Excel tables, which can help with making formulas more robust. However, all of this putting the cart before the horse, VLOOKUPs are too useful to skip over, and are a fundamental part of data manipulation with Excel formulas. A grounding in Excel formulas is useful before moving on to the fancier stuff.
You don't want to use a DB a broker.

For AWS they have SQS which is awesome. Now if someone would write a Google cloud pub/sub, all would be well in the world.
Even now, it's still pretty sluggish, all around. My machine is, I think, as big as can be expected (current gen i7, 16GB), though I am on a slow 4G network. But, as others note, it is gorgeous, and the API appears well thought-out, and very complete (or, at least, complete for the kinds of systems UIs I build).
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
I don't think so. Other countries don't have a problem enforcing their immigration policies. When someone is found to be overstaying they deport them. Try overstaying in Japan, China, Greece, France, etc. They may not get 100%, but they get a good percentage as companies are required to vet the work status of employees and regular police in many places can inquire about visas, if they have reason to ask.

Hi Kratisto...yup I did. It appears that Teams isn't actually for our type of organization yet (since we're an EDU organization using Office 365...seems like it won't be available to us until early next year so we'll have to wait until then from the responses I received back from our Microsoft sales people over at Computer Land).
Your first sentence was broader than that. Far as EU, they're called registered designs. I don't know much about them past that they exist. They're also in Hague Agreement of WIPO which Switzerland is a party to. Apple's attack on Samsung in Germany was about them copying the interface and style. Situation isn't as clear cut to me given the above.

Even if nothing applied in Switzerland, the countries supporting such things might block their local presence there under grounds of violations. This risk actually is why some companies, esp Chinese, won't do business in the U.S.. If this played out, they'd be blocked from serving customers in U.S. or any nation that upholded the claim against them.

Not to second guess the infrastructure architects at GitLab, but just to bring up a data point they might possibly not be aware of : Joyent virtual hosts have significatly better I/O performance profiles -- see https://www.joyent.com/blog/docker-bake-off-aws-vs-joyent for detail. Don't necessarily write off the cloud -- there are different clouds out there and if I was running something I/O intensive, I'd want to try it on Joyent. That said, nothing beats complete control, if you have the resources to handle that level of responsibility. =)

Or a way to programatically parse websites, process with a bit of code, to view sites off-line. Really interesting piece of code.
My objection to both Uber and AirBnB is purely a practical one. The person who provides the service is not obligated to honor a reservation. I have been stiffed twice this year:

• An Uber driver agreed to give me a ride to SFO in June 2016 but later cancelled the reservation with no explanation. Fortunately, I was able to hire a taxi and get to the airport on time.

• I used AirBnB to request a room in a home in Brooklyn last Spring for one night. The host decided that I "was not a good fit for their family" and decided not to rent the room to me.

What a joke.
I've been hearing very good things about The Origins of Political Order: From Prehuman Times to the French Revolution (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0374533229/) by Fukuyama (yes, I know, I know, but I guess he learned something after The End of History). It and Clash of Civilizations are on my near term to read list.
I don't see anything particularly rude about this statement. I think you're overreacting to something that isn't there.
Management is becoming more, not less, important.

Good management is the number one competitive advantage an enterprise has.

Management essentially means running the corporate machine and directing the efforts of its tens or hundreds of thousands of employees. If poorly directed, effort is wasted.

As the world is seemingly centralizing into a handful of large corporations, good management is more important than ever because the power of organizations is so much larger.
That's pretty specious. Headaches aren't caused by a deficiency of ibuprofen, but ibuprofen can still be very effective at treating them.
The keyconv program is extremely short, it simply calls the key generation routines in OpenSSL.
Despite the sluggishness, there's a lot of really likeable stuff in here and it is beautiful (or, a lot more beautiful than I, or most developers, could ever come up with without a team and some pro designers on staff).

I particularly enjoyed the piano example: http://blueprintjs.com/docs/#components.hotkeys
Oh yeah, I see what you're saying. I just don't bother with toolkits since I find that once you factor in said fun, you aren't really saving much time, and you might end up with a lot of jank. I just roll my own based on the needs of the project and keep my cascade very flat and specific. Sass makes this really easy using BEM style naming, where you can do this:

.my-component {
&_component-item {
&--open {
}
}
}

and you get a nice, flat output:

.my-component {}
.my-component_component-item {}
.my-component_component-item--open {}

I wish framework authors would adopt this approach as it completely eliminates specificity conflicts.
'All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace' [1] is nicely done, even if Adam Curtis has a tendency to make links that might not really be there, he's certainly thought provoking.

By "STV" I mean the multi-winner form ("quota-preferential" or "PR-STV"). Neither range voting nor approval voting is a substitute for it; they don't provide proportional representation. For that you need Reweighted Range Voting: http://rangevoting.org/RRVr.html

I'd be happy to see STV, RRV or both used more widely.

Is this the comment you're referring to?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12940111

As to how, it was flag-killed, which means enough users flagged it to trigger its removal.

As to why, I can only speculate, but it may have been a combination of things:

- invoking "moral obligation" and "dignity as human beings" implies that people who don't agree with you are somehow immoral, which they might react strongly to

- "any means necessary" can be interpreted to mean that anything goes, including violence, which is pretty strong language, and more of a call to arms than an invitation to civil discussion (which is the purpose of HN, in part)

Some of the child comments point to reasons it was flagged as well.

And things are pretty heated in general around HN right now.

I wouldn't take it personally. Move on, reflect, figure out ways to engage more constructively if you choose to.

Hope this helps. This isn't meant as a criticism, just trying to read it as I see it, since you asked.
Planning for the cloud doesn't make your software antifragile. antifragile != robust
I agree. Using an HD wallet would work fine. I found the tooling less convenient so I didn't use an HD wallet.
Thank you, I've been reading through the docs and some blogs to try and get my feet wet, but most are very tight-focused. A full-stack read is very welcome.
A few brief notes:

Not at all sure the recommendations system papers should be grouped with QA papers. The techniques used aren't that closely related.

LEARNING A NATURAL LANGUAGE INTERFACE WITH NEURAL PROGRAMMER - yeah, that's something. The neural programmer and related stuff seems like something out of sci-fi, even more so than normal neural networks.
The PX 2 is kind of a cool computer. 8 teraflops, 250W, liquid cooled. I imagine it would run a good bit less than that most of the time. 8 teraflops is about 8% of Moravecs estimate of brain equivalence so assuming you use ~8% of your brain driving it may be about right.
Nice strawman.

I did not suggest that people should turn down medication, or refuse treatment.

I didn't say anything other than that medication doesn't cure depression - which I stand behind.

Let me turn the tables on your indignance for a moment - why don't you care about the causes of depression? If the incidence is on the rise, the causes must be getting stronger. How can you condone simply restoring people to productivity with drugs when there is an increasingly serious problem harming them in the first place?
I'm just a programmer, but this seems really easy to me. What am I missing?
> The creation of the laws is the creation of the autocratic power

That isn't true in the U.S. system: Laws are created democratically, are subject to other laws (in the Constitution, conflicting laws, court rulings), and the actor's (e.g. the President's) power is limited by the law itself, other laws, institutions, and other branches of government. Furthermore, many laws remove or constrain power, such as those in the Bill of Rights.
I priced out the hardware that they specced out to be around $1.4 million:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/727#note...
The R730xd are probably around $50k after dell discounts - depends a bit on what they ended up configuring with regards to support, exact network configuration, etc

The R830s are about $50k as configured - 1.5gb ram is expensive as the R830 only has 48 DIMMs and they need the relatively expensive 32GB RDIMMs

The R630s should be about 15k each:

The switches say they are 48x 40G QSFP+ which are very expensive (I'd put them at 30k each from Dell)

50k * 20 + 50k * 4 + 15k * 10k + 2 * 30k

1m + 200k + 150k + 60k ~= $1.4m invested

updated with better R830s pricing

From my perspective consumer Samsung 850 EVO drives which can be under-provisioned to match the 1.8tb (and get better performance characteristics) would give Gitlab cheaper and more reliable storage in terms of IOPS/Latency when compared to 10k 1.8tb drives.
I find it's increasingly a problem with the web in general these days. As for HN, maybe someone can work out an algorithm that digests the content of the piece after it's posted and provides a quality score.

The step after that is for each of us to train our own bots to comment as we would ourselves.
I veer in the direction of libertarianism but I can't refute the effectiveness of that tax. It works.

In place of plastic bags the supermarkets put their good used boxes at the head of the store and I can handily truck my shopping away in one of them. That then winds up at the recycling center later on, and in the worse case scenario of it being chucked outdoors by someone cardboard is biodegradable.

It is true that buying a 'bag4life' would emit more CO2 and extrude more plastic net but that wasn't the real issue since those effects are marginal. The amount of litter did reduce.

Now I would like to see us implement the German approach to bottles. They pay people money to collect them, I think it is 25c per bottle, and this has been very effective at keeping them off the streets as well as putting some money into the hands of those who could do with a bit of cash.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElYT8SMl-qI

I reckon on this being cheaper than hiring more street cleaners and cleaner machines so I view it as using a market mechanism.
While I agree that Google is not buying GeForce GPUs, their general use-case for GPUs does not require virtualization.

They use containers to isolate and throttle different tasks/jobs running on the same hardware.

At their scale, virtualization would be significantly wasteful in terms of manageability and overhead.
Thanks for recommendation, the tutorial looks impressive and overwhelming in the same as I'm just a beginner with React.
Interesting. I do IT infrastructure support. I generally respond after I've completed the task but this makes me think that I should reply to their email immediately with something like, "I'm looking into this."
Hmm, often times the models are not reusable because they end up doing too much. Tryg actually started to create something called ACI because of this.
This has nothing to do with their desire to use open source. In fact, it's blatantly against their goals.
Used to use Gnome Shell. Left it for XFCE for two reasons... somewhat randomly occurring fallback to LLVM pipe mode where software rendering is used instead of graphic card acceleraion. (I had to put in some sleep in launch script to prevent it, but wasn't perfect either.)

Anther one is its behavior of treating IPv6 address as IPv4, so for example if I type in IPv6 address in network setting, it tells me it's an invalid address. Previously entered IPv6 address would be converted to some random IPv4 address...
I was surprised by and love Paul Graham's comment on just this:

"Keep rewriting your program. Rewriting a program often yields a cleaner design. But it would have advantages even if it didn't: you have to understand a program completely to rewrite it, so there is no better way to get one loaded into your head."

Why do people stay depressed for too long?
If first draw is >= .7 don't redraw since chance of being larger than .7 is 50% for two draws. 50% probability is chosen since if you pick any number lower than .7, the probability increases favoring your opponent drawing a higher number.

calc: p(a union b) = p(a) + p(b) - (p(a)*p(b));
p(>=.7)=3/10;
.51 = (3/10) + (3/10) - (.3)(.3)
I just want to note that the blog post you linked to was never actually published since we decided against pointing fingers when – by and large – the problems weren't their fault and their engineers were quite helpful. See the comment at the bottom of that thread[1] from Sid.

We made mistakes ourselves that were the root of the problems at the time, and based on the update[2] a few months later things definitely improved significantly.

One major issue I see is that people believe there is a difference between Hillary and the GOP.

As P.J. O'Rourke said, though I think he was quoting someone else: America has one political party, and like everything in Anerica it was two of them.
Spreadsheets are useful for data exploration. Can you do data exploration with other tools? Sure you can, but spreadsheets make exploring data intuitive and there's value to be had from that. I'd suggest it's not a good idea to get too hung up on any one tool, most of the time people just want to use the one that gets the job done with a minimum of fuss. Sometimes that'll be a script, sometimes not. Sometimes that'll be a spreadsheet, sometimes not.
Actually no, the burden of proof is not with me. I am claiming that something doesn't exist - I.e. A medication that cures depression. This is similar to saying 'there are no unicorns'. Neither statement can be proven by citation since there is always the possibility that a unicorn (or a medication that cures depression) has been overlooked.

If there is such a medication, it should be trivial for savanaly to point it out.
I'm sure that there are many reasons. One of them is that depression itself robs people of the motivation to seek out and continue with treatment.
Stop using the term, you don't understand what it means. Chaos monkey is a form of testing. Testing is not antifragility.
Some have the opinion that Celery has (or had) too many features. I know I had to twiddle with a lot of settings in Celery for my unusual use case, but it worked well in the end. There was a long standing bug which ended up being my misunderstanding a certain setting. All that said, I would use Celery again.
Some people say time is just an illusion we use to process reallity as an [array of time-frames]. I think what you are looking for is a kind of enlightening which in this case would mean stepping out of the illusion of time. Some people reported to achieve this with meditation and/or psychodelics.
are you a full time employee or a contractor?
first layer companies charge around $80 per hour. Contractors get paid around $50.
Education and retraining are useful, but only if there are jobs for people to do with that education and skillset afterward. Otherwise it's largely pointless, and serves primarily to make the unemployment stats look better than they really are.

I don't believe that education is the root problem here. The root problem is the vast scale of job losses. Education can benefit some of the people affected, who can then move to other jobs and careers. But it can't help the majority if the opportunities simply don't exist. And I think that harsh reality isn't properly acknowledged. A vast number of people have been essentially abandoned without hope. The alternative jobs and careers simply don't require enough people to make up for the losses.

(I'm writing this from the UK, but there are a lot of parallels in the massive industrial decline here as well, and I don't think any good long-term solution has been found here yet either.)

It could just be me and the way I handle email, but by using something like Yesware you could easily mitigate the anxiety around slow responses. Plus, if I see someone open my email a few days later it's usually a good indication my message is still front of mind and sending a follow up email will usually trigger a faster response.
The problem is that humans do primarily (not solely) use vision to drive, but they have mental models about the other driver. I remember once I was at a red light and when it turned green, I looked at the oncoming driver (far away) and thought, "that guy is too into his music" and didn't accelerate. Sure enough, he goes right through the red and slams his brakes halfway through the intersection.
> Minorities living in the south during Jim Crow were always legally allowed to move north

Rights are not services sold in the free market, matched up by supply and demand. They are universal and inalienable. Whether they move or not, those people were 100% entitled to their rights and to a government that protected them. That's why governments are instituted among men and women.

The only thing that has doubled down here is the marketing of the fact they are contributing to open source. They have both been large users and contributors to open source since the switch to OS X (NeXT acquisition).

Just off the top of my head, projects they have had a large hand in: WebKit & JavaScriptCore, Objective-C, CUPS, LLVM, Clang, Bonjour/Zeroconf, Darwin, launchd, libdispatch, CoreFoundation, dtrace.

And more recently Apple Lossless Encoder, LZFSE compression, and of course Swift.

And this is only a tiny fraction of what they are users of.
There is a revival of Datalog, a subset of Prolog, in relational databases and RAD. E.g., see LogicBlox or Datomic.

I always think Datalog should have taken a big chunk of SQL's market. And I wish something like Mozart/Oz was more mainstream so that we could implement subsystems using logic programming wherever needed.
What polling error? Nothing I saw said "Clinton 100%".

> rolling your own infrastructure just means you have to build systems even better than the providers

As a cloud provider, though, you're trying to provide shared resources to a group of clients. A company rolling their own system doesn't have to share, and they can optimise specifically for their own requirements. You don't get these luxuries, and it's reasonable to expect a customised system to perform better than a general one.
