I should admit that after writing this, I went back and forth with him over email and he convinced me he was right, after all.

That continuity assumption he made is there in Newtonian Mechanics and other very widely accepted models. Something just feels off about the whole assumption. maybe I spent too much time with digital computers. Those models have a hard time explaining the non-reversibility of time also.
Holy crap that was a quick fix, and well done. If you want to dive into it further in the future there is room for improvement but bravo on the quick reaction!

Can Bethesda issue a revocable license to DoomRL for the use of "Doom" and still have their trademark protected? Since it doesn't seem like Bethesda cares whether or not DoomRL exists, and since it would provide good will and good PR towards Doom, this seems like a better move than sending a C&D, which just causes hostility.
I do agree with the anti-snobbery part, but, again, as someone who totally skipped over the Haskell parts (which were mostly gibberish to me), I still think the article was quite enlightening.

Of course, it's also a matter of the audience you're picking, I wouldn't talk about optimization algorithms, convexity, and computational hardness to an audience of 10-year-olds first learning to program (even though it underlies everything they will do in any first programming class which can be done efficiently), but I also wouldn't discuss introductory programming topics and the definition of a Turing machine to an audience of theoretical computer scientists, even if that's what we end up talking about in a very abstracted sense.
say 42 ∈ <42 55 1>; # False; ∈ operator cares about object identity

As an outsider, this seems like a huge gotcha. I suppose the weirdest thing (after reading some docs) is why < > quotation is used as a set literal here. Would something like

say 42 ∈ (42, 55, 1);

work as expected? Or what would be the canonical way of writing an Int (not IntStr) set literal?
Personalized content discovery is not only about filter bubble and I believe the key word here is discovery, not shoving to your face in homepage. It can also mean discovering small subreddits that you might like. Or some old super popular posts that you might have missed.

Some of this would be forming a bubble (e.g. similarly minded subreddits to the ones you're following), and some not (e.g. somewhat random thing that you might like to binge read). You might find small subreddits on your own, that's great, but that might help other users.

No need to paint algorithmic stuff only in such dim light.

The whole notion of putting all of the routes in a single file strikes me as questionable. I think Express has it right, define the route along with the code that's going to run on it. If you want to see all of your routes together, just have some kind of dumpRoutes() call that you can make.

And I don't believe we're saving ourselves any real complexity by creating standardized API for prefixes and such. The cost of having to type /posts/new and /posts/favorite seems like a small price to pay for a dramatic improvement in clarity and decrease in router complexity.

Some programmers take DRY way too far.

If you store anything on the cloud, you sort of have to use a subscription model because they may have to keep your data around. They have to make sure the interface works, that bandwidth is paid up, that they are compatible with new browsers and so on.

That is why most cloud companies use subscription.

If you have a service which is a one off: you upload data, it processes it, and then you download it, it might be possible to just keep charge as a one off.

Assuming all of the ~200,000 kickstarter backers would have been okay with the $10/year software, and no duplication of backers between their three campaigns, and that yearly payment kicking in as soon as each of the three campaigns ended (so before the customers even got their devices), that would have brought in a bit shy of $5m, compared to the ~$43m they brought in from their three campaigns. It's a good thought, but I doubt their revenue stream was only 10% away from being sustainable.

How to Break the Fourth Wall
According to VPSBenchmarks Lightsail isn't comparable to other VPSes: http://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/posts/amazon_lightsail_1gb_is_n...

>TLDR: Amazon Lightsail 1GB will melt down with less than 15% sustained cpu usage

And also in DO I can be sure that I won't pay more then 5$ per month. Even if I'm DDOSed. Since network is essentially unlimited (There are currently no network overcharges since metering doesn't work yet). In the future I assume that they would remove my site If I get DDOSed instead of sending me bill I can't pay.

But AWS: If you get DDOSed you just pay a large bill. Which can of course get nulled if Amazon feels like it but still.
The attempts to explain quantum computing are often as crap as any other attempt to explain anything "quantum", but in practice, it doesn't really change what computing looks like for most people. It means a certain class of problems can be solved more efficiently, and some problems may be solved that previously could not be, but it's not that significant to one not versed in the field.

By contrast, if we ever did get true human-level AI... uh... are quite sure that "magician" wouldn't be appropriate at that point...? It's not entirely dissimilar to "demon summoner", though there probably won't be actual pentagrams involved. Although you never know; just as my UNIX system has an awful lot of "demons" in it it would only take one AI researcher with a hacker sense of humor to program in an last-ditch emergency "containment via drawing a pentagram" routine in the base OS for the successful AIs....
I've always favored express.js style routes. Simple, pragmatic, flexible, and run in the order in which they are declared. Internally they are just represented as an array of regex's.

For client side routing, I use page (https://www.npmjs.com/package/page), which is a tiny client-side router that supports pushState and has an almost identical API as express.

There are lots of people and frameworks who try to overcomplicate this problem when its really just another pattern of inversion of control.
Ask HN: What deep learning papers should I implement to learn?
Andrew Ng has often stated that the best approach (that he has seen) to mastering DL is to start reading papers and then to implement them.

>Okay then, experiment aborted. 25% sustained cpu usage is too much, all other VPS at the same price can handle that but maybe we're just over the limit, we moved traffic to another machine and let the Lightsail VM cool down for a few hours.

Mr. Robot may be technically correct, but I couldn't get past a few episodes of the first season.

Comically bad/cliche companies that are polluting the earth, killing innocent people, and robbing the poor. A closeted gay, masochist antagonist and a smug, patronizing protagonist that regularly demeans the people around him and feels they are less intelligent than himself. This was all in the first few episodes.

I assume the characters and plots have changed since the first season, but not by much.

I felt like the writers were ignored in high school and used the show as a way to passive-aggressively get back at their perceived enemies.

Not true. You're running bytecode, not Java. Compiled JVM languages benefit from JVM optimizations all the same.

No one will actually 'kill' Java, it's about mindset of the users and companies. Kill Java = Give another JVM language a try.

Oracle JVM isn't the only JVM implementation.

> A pg dictum is a de facto "guideline" here. That's pretty well understood. Not sure why you think it's valuable to try parsing a distinction.

Perhaps. However, since not everyone has read every comment pg ever made, it's safe to say only what's written in the guidelines is supposed to be common knowledge and easily available for reference.

> effectively: "make well-reasoned arguments with which everyone can agree."

They don't say "make arguments with which everyone can agree". Not effectively or otherwise, that would stupid. They say (in your opinion) that you are encouraged to downvote what you don't agree with (I would substitute encouraged with allowed, but I can't make a reference to an authoritative source because it's not actually in the guidelines). It was your own deduction that you should make comments everyone agrees with (in order to avoid being downvoted / get more upvotes).
I don't have experience with DigitalOcean support but there tutorial/help pages are indeed very useful, I have used them a lot.

Its an issue for DigitalOcean that if someones trying to install MongoDB on Ubuntu they can still use any VPS provider they want. The instructions that DO provides are not platform specific to them.

I still do want DigitalOcean to succeed though, I think there great and still love there product. I think building an S3 competitor(Not expandable volume storage) would make them more competitive. Its still going to be really tough though, right now any side project is going to be default on LightSail.
Where the digital dollars have gone
That’s related to the concept expressed by behavioural economist, Dan Ariely: “consumers don’t value goods and services solely by their utility, … but also a sense of fairness relating to how much effort was exerted” [1]. In that quote, I’d probably qualify the word effort as “perceived effort”.

http://danariely.com/2010/12/15/locksmiths/
In the "Where DigitalOcean Beats Lightsail" section, you might add that the OS selection on Lightsail is extremely limited. I believe you can currently only choose Amazon Linux or Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
AWS is already the monopoly. A couple of years ago it was reported that they were bigger than the next 17 competitors combined.

> a team who mostly hated groovy/java

Sounds like they hated Java rather than specifically Apache Groovy, which is really a scripting language for systems already built with Java code.
The development cycle is basicaly this: write Typescript code in a .ts file, transpile to a .js file, load .js into html. Transpiling can be handled by the IDE or by a build tool like gulp. For example, IntelliJ Webstorm has a built-in file watcher that tracks changes to .ts files and transpiles accordingly.

Typescript can be debugged on a source code level, using source-maps. Webstorm and VS Code have built-in or plugin solutions. I heard some people complaining about issues, but i had a pretty smooth experience so far.

I was hoping this algebra could have physical significance. For example, you could make a line segment by combining two nodes. You can then combine three such line segments into a triangle. And then you can combine four triangles into a tetrahedron. And you can use techniques from differential geometry. E.g., you could use a "∂" operator to get the boundary of a given structure. And you can transform the graph into an adjacency matrix, and solve differential equations.

Nrwl – enterprise support for Angular 2 from core contributors
This will probably be detached for being off-topic, but until then...

Men and women move in very different ways due to gender policing. Things like how much you are allowed to/required to move your hips side to side are different for men and women. Sometimes in the workplace women are put in positions of less influence and less pay. They experience repeated instances of being passed over, thwarted, harassed, etc, while men with less capabilities, less force of will, in many workplaces advance further on average. Something as small as the way someone moves their hips while they walk immediately signals their gender, which on a given day could trigger feelings of powerlessness.

Or consider a woman who was being harassed by a man at work, and the first man she told was skeptical it was meant in the way she thought it was. She went home and got support from a bunch of girlfriends. The next day you walk into her cube with your male movement, and she's thinking "is this one on his side too?" It's possible that a more female-typical mode of moving and entering would've been less triggering for her even on an otherwise male body.

I probably need to note that I am not suggesting that ONLY women experience things like this, or that ALL women experience things like this, just that it is something that happens.
