That's not what I mean by autocomplete. What I mean is more like Visual Studio's intellisense, ie a drop down that lets you know what are all the options from there. You can type DIR <TAB>, that won't tell you that you can apply the parameters "/p" or "/w" nor what these parameters mean. ISE does a slightly better job but is based on a static specs, rather than the current state of the system. So it won't list the VM names currently active in the system for instance.

Yes you can type -?, but that's as bad as having to go on the web to read the documentation. It's disruptive. The point of a good auto-complete is to have a list at your fingertips with a short description of what it does, without interrupting your train of thought.
I find the terminology off putting. Isn't it really just someone that you bond with at work, beyond the normal day-to-day work stuff?

> They're different approaches and the only real benefit of bash is that it's super entrenched and extremely widely supported. With the same level of support Powershell would run circles around it.

I'm not sure what you mean with this.

If you're referring to feature set and robustness with typing in scripting, I might agree with you.

I have however a much tougher time agreeing if you also think that powershell could come even close to bash/zsh when working from the shell, in both speed of use (and as you said) support.

"Compatible because we run the other program" isn't really compatibility, it's running the other program.

Let's be clear: The syntax and idiosyncrasies and just plain stupidity of cmd.exe are very, very difficult to be compatible with. There's stuff in cmd.exe that beggars the words "awful and random". Deprecating the terrible thing that is cmd is a good move, it should have been done 20 years ago.

As I understand it, cmd.exe largely stagnated for a couple of decades because a senior dev at Microsoft "owned" the code and took any attempt to improve as a personal affront. It couldn't be changed without bad political fallout. (Frankly I don't care how smart or politically powerful you are: If you're doing damage to customers, you should be told not to, and lose your job if you keep doing it).

So Microsoft is finally getting it. I just wish that PowerShell wasn't their answer, because it's got significant problems of its own.

> Current GMOs do not increase yields so significantly as to be considered a necessity for competitive efficiency

I think that's mostly a fair assertion. The traits that are on the market are focused more on reducing operational costs (fewer trips over the field) and opening new opportunities for management practices (cover crops are all the rage these days). While those practices might help introduce a small yield bump, the biggest gains are on the reduction of costs. Again, about $2.50/bu when we're talking about soybeans.

Having said that, there is an element of competition at play. Yields of all types, GMO and not, are up significantly. It may be that GMOs did introduce the yield bumps first, forcing those producing non-GMO varieties to up their game. I don't follow that end of the business close enough to say for certain. Something is driving significant increases in yield though.

> Generally fewer GMO strains are available than non-GMO strains, lowering biodiversity on GMO fields, and some GMO plants (such as Roundup Ready) don't make sense to plant on mixed GMO/non-GMO fields, lowering biodiversity

You mean planting many different varieties all in the same field? We actually do that on our corn ground, where we still use GMO varieties. In soybeans, where we haven't used GMOs in years, that would be a big no-no. The market wants to buy soy on specific varieties. The wheat market, where there is no such thing as GMOs, is starting to go in this direction as well.

So, if I understand you correctly, the reality is actually reversed. At least on my farm and many of the farms near mine.

> GMOs cost extra money

Often true, but I don't see how this is much of a criticism? They cost extra money because they are worth more. A business charges what someone is willing to pay, and farmers are willing to pay it because they've done the math.

> Overall it is possible that the downsides may outweigh the benefits

We've touched on some of the upsides: Lower market price, ability to improve soil health through no-till and cover crop practices, reduced use of fossil fuels by reducing the number of trips over the field. I don't know what downsides you are referring to?

You can read from the other comments that it is not common knowledge yet what stress actually does to you.

Stress as a facility is useful for humans and other animals. It helps the body to focus on the threat and increase the chance to escape and survive. Stress makes a tiny damage to the health but once you survive, the body returns to health.

However, there are cases where you have long-term continuous stress, without any release. It is common with social animals like humans, and an example is the burn-out. The tiny damage becomes major damage and can be irreversible.

To be clear -- Kubernetes was built on ideas that were proven out at Google over 10 years. While it was a new code base, those ideas were the product of a cast of (literally?) thousands.

What Brendan, Craig and I did was (a) meld those ideas with the external-to-Google world (including Docker), (b) motivate releasing it as Open Source (not the default model for Google TI) and (c) work to seed a really open community that we wanted to participate in.

Soon after we started some other folks from around Google and beyond joined in. From Google, those include Ville Aikas (not super active these days, doing other stuff at Google), Tim Hockin, Brian Grant, Dawn Chen, Daniel Smith. Most of these folks had worked on Borg and/or Omega. From outside Kelsey Hightower got involved very early (long before Kubernetes was a thing for CoreOS) and the folks from RedHat (led by Clayton Coleman). I'm sure I'm forgetting folks but hopefully that gives some context.

Ask HN: How many of the startups here use Microsoft Stack?
Looking at most of the threads, I get a feeling that most of the entrepreneurs/startup accounts registered here typically go for Python/Rails framework. Looking at how MS gives away lot of free stuff for startups, I'm surprised that it's not that well represented here. Are there any startups here that use MS stack (asp.net, C# etc) ? Also, it would help if you can elaborate more on why you chose MS stack over the more popular FOSS stuff and would you recommend it to others ?

I hope that this can be a lesson for leftists to take - that if you put up a poor enough candidate, you'll lose the votes of people like me.

Again: I'm not saying you should have voted for Clinton. I agree that the anti-democratic strategies of the "Democratic" Party deserve punishment. I'm saying you could have voted for Jill Stein or Gary Johnson, who would have been, at least, not a fascist.

I haven't been in space, but I have been in a plane and seen the curvature that results just from being at 30,000 feet[1].

Occam's Razor isn't perfect, but it applies here. We have two options - either we did something that was very expensive but completely doable, or we faked it with a massive overarching conspiracy that must have involved thousands of willing participants. And they must have remained silent about it for more than 50 years at this point. Judging by the fact that the Manhattan Project and all sorts of other top-secret stuff has been leaked since then, why would this be any different?

I don't know too much about rocket science other than my experience with Orbiter and Kerbal Space Program, but I was in the military, and let me tell you how terrible we are at conspiracies that involve shitloads of people. It's the same reason why chemtrails are hilariously stupid; everyone on the airport flightline has to be in on it, or else you're going to have to be constantly threatening and/or disappearing baggage handlers and mechanics who've been determined to "know too much!"

So, it's not the trained ideologues you have to be worried about. It's the thousands and thousands of PFC Shmuckatellis who will get drunk at the local bar and start bragging about top-secret government things to the first semi-attractive woman in the vicinity. It's happened many, many times before.

Flightaware uses Tcl for far more than embedded scripting. It's one of the most data-intensive and heavily trafficked sites on the web, and makes virtuoso use of Tcl for a variety of tasks from serving active web pages to database querying to processing high volume external data streams. It's probably the best current demo of Tcl's unique power.

I'll venture a guess that if any other tool could do the job better, they would use it.

If you're interested in commercialization you should start from day one with some estimate of the value the application creates. That is, "saves $X dollars" or "creates $X in revenue".

I do work in the natural language and item matching areas and in those cases I do what I call "preliminary evaluation" by working a small number of cases (say 10-20) in depth and putting together some story about what kind of outputs would be expected, what the actual requirements are, and what a decision process is going to have to take into account. You've got to put together a plausible story that the decision process exists.

For your case I would say the dog example is more feasible than the health care one. The caveat is what the negatives are like for the dog: are we looking at photos that have a lot of yellow and red? Are we looking at photos of dogs, etc? As for health care, prediction just adds to the health care boondoggle unless you can make the case of making a difference in outcomes and cost as opposed to just getting a better score at Kaggle.

In the case of text examples I'd say you want 10,000 examples of items in the class and at least that many out of it if you are doing a problem that bag-of-words is able to do to get results that you'd really be proud of. You might get that down to as little as 1,000 if some dimensional reduction is in use.

The center of my approach, when precision matters, is case-based reasoning, where you really find that there is one simple strategy that works say, 70% of time, and then a patch that gets you to 80% and then you keep adding exceptional cases to work up the asymtope. In a lot of cases like that you can establish a proof as to a lower bound of how accurate the results are and work up to handling more and more cases.

A core issue though is evaluating what matters, which is why I say follow the money. There is no better way to destroy evaluators than making them split hairs that don't matter.
Of course, a large chunk of the press has been running this exact kind of fake news ad on their sites: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/31/business/media/publishers-... So they'd have to criticise themselves.

Companies violate federal or state (or country, in my case) laws all the time.

I've read about Y Combinator actually encouraging some of its startups to violate laws (in the "hack the system" sense, not in criminal violations sense).

If you think about it, many of the top startups do: Uber, AirBnB (and others that are losing like Zenefits, FanDuel or DraftKings).

See: https://blog.placeit.net/startups-ignored-law-won/

It's, sadly, one of the only effective ways to get them to be discussed or modified, laws have a lot of inertia going for them.

I'm definitely not happy about the ethics in the above case, though.

Another thing I was going to add is that some CEOs knowingly violate the laws and incorporate that into their risk models (cost of fine + lawyers weighted by chance of it happening), it's usually a lot more cost effective to violate them (The CTO in the above example might have done such cost/benefit calculation).

The Right Content Mix: Short-Form versus Long-Form Content
> I guess I just don't get how VSCode that's running on Windows can "see" and use the Linux filesystem.

I can't. It's the other way around, the Linux file system can see the Windows one. So VSCode's code complete is based on files on the Windows system but the Linux side can also see those files and compiles/runs them. Linux doesn't know it's a completely different file system; it's just another path.
That is kinda cool, but it does look like a lot of work to bind multiple functions safely into the same environment in any kind of runtime way.

Absolutely doable though.
