Neither is the contempt that moves people to say things like:

> “It’s really the worst when school comes up,” Backus said. “It’s offensive, the way people ask about it.”

"Offensive" is a loaded word, and I wouldn't choose it were I to make a similar statement. But I could make a similar statement, because I'm also familiar with the prejudice that a lot of people have toward those of us who have not completed, or indeed begun, a course of tertiary education.

I'm not a wildly successful entrepreneur, of course. I'm not even an entrepreneur, and I sure as hell don't have a billionaire in my corner. I'm just a redneck with some smarts who's had a whole lot of luck, and managed to parlay those things into an uninspired but solid software engineering career. It surprises me to see that people who are wildly successful entrepreneurs have run into the same prejudice that I've long since grown accustomed to encountering. The old saying is that "nothing succeeds like success", but apparently there are some folks with whom that's just not so.
Uh, Edge already fully supports it. I don't think they are adding new features to IE anymore.
I think this is a narrow position. On the boards on chans that I frequent, this isn't at all true. Yes, there are occasionally "trolls" who pretend they have positions they do not. The sarcasm may be subtle or not, depending on intention. But far more predominantly there are people who espouse their views and back them up cogently. There are also devil's advocates.

But I wouldn't say that chan culture is about this, or that there is an inextricable link between them. It's simply a common occurance by nature of being anonymous. More often than not, "bait" is called out as such, but even if you're being serious, you can ignore that.

A mixed bag, but certainly not representative. I know of many on the politics board who do sincerely hold nationalist or white supremacist views, and I have argued against them. I also know many on the left-politics board who will talk you through Marx's critique of capitalism.

There is some nuance in my opinion.
TXR has deferred signals as well as async ones. Both the Rosetta examples show async signals going off: lambda being called in the signal handler context. For the SIGSEGV catch, this must be so: the lambda executes on the alternate stack arranged with sigaltstack.

There is a flag which enables or disables async signals. In the case of a CPU exception signal (SEGV, BUS, ILL, FPE, ...), we ignore this flag and just do async. Other signals respect the async flag. The async flag is almost always off; async signals are enabled in various places in the library when blocking system calls are being made. So for instance an async signal won't go off during garbage collection; the internal handler will see that async signaling is disabled, and arrange for a deferred call at the next opportunity (unless it is a CPU exception).
If that is the case, if the limiting factor was hardware, then we should see continuing growth for a good stretch going forward. There are quite a few companies looking to build specialized chips for machine learning, that could outcompete GPUs the way GPUs outcompete CPUs in this field.

The edited comments were on r/the_donald, and he changed them to point to r/the_donald moderators. You have to be doing some serious mental gymnastics to think that it wasn't against "those Trump supporters".

And here's the thing: it doesn't matter. An admin of a site (the CEO even!) edited users' comments without permission, notification, or apparent consequence. This can lead to users distrusting the site.
Yeah, unfortunately to do that I would have to leave startup life and go work for a corporation which is not a tradeoff I'm ready to make.
On the other hand, requiring reputation could incentivize spamming and worthless posts. For example, if you already have an automated voting bot, why not make it upvote your new bot accounts to transfer "rep" and allow more upvotes?
I agree, but there are other users who might not trust that their comments won't be invisibly altered. The specific incident is not very troubling, but the fact that it occurred at all is.
Frankly, I don't believe your post. It's such a wishy washy amalgamation of "of course I was right" rose tinted steps through the past, each stop complete with ham-fisted "they called me all the worst things but I was right".

No story is that perfect. You aren't that perfect.

And writing this long of a post to try and convince me that conspiracies like Hillary Clinton engaging in a pedohpile sex ring are true because you believed the Iraq War wasn't about WMDs is just stupid.

When we take into the fact that President-Elect Trump used to party with Pedophile Jeff Epstein, and 3 years ago went as far as to praise Jeff's young taste in women, the fact that Jeff Epstein had 13 separate numbers for Mr Trump... I guess we're in Trump's America now.

I can't stop you from fellating yourself regarding your overwhelmingly pretentiously perfect view of yourself throughout the past decade, so I guess I should join you. Trump's a pedo and anyone who doesn't see it, sling your arrows at me, the truth will be visible later rather than sooner, and I'll be posting lame, rose tinted "I was right the whole time" posts trying to contradict the next anti-conspiracy poster :)

I can't beat you and your "I was always right so conspiracies are legit" nonsense, so I'll join you! That's Trump's America. We can't beat the misinformation. Facts lose. Feels win.
No one is threatened by Thiel. Annoyed, yes, but threatened no. Does anyone seriously think that these Thiel payed dropouts are going to be making breakthroughs in physics, engineering, medicine? No, of course not. They'll be in soft positions where their main skill is interacting with people. E.g. CEO, managers, etc.
I'm shocked at how many people are so upset. Maybe you should be PGP signing your posts if their integrity is your top concern.

“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.” - Twain
The admins and a sizable portion, if not the majority, of reddit think it's true. It's also odd that you seem to forget that the content in question was specifically and continually addressed to the rest of the community in an often aggressive manner. Hardly any active and constructive discussion, political or otherwise, took place on those threads. Indeed it's hard for that to ever happen when your mods immediately ban anyone who doesn't fit a certain mold.

Notice that after the tool was limited, the frequency at which posts show up on the front page was severely decreased. The posts were not being upvoted because of the content, they were being upvoted specifically to get the thread to the front page and often with no constructive purpose.
I have to agree, if your customer base for services does not majorly crossover with your products. I've seen many successful models that sell a high priced product and sell services on top of it. For example, Joyent will sell you the whole cloud and then sell you support for implementation all the way down to NodeJS. I've seen this with other successful (often Node) shops, such as Pivotal and Hashicorp (Golang).

This aligns the service with the product, so there's no reason for the product to lag behind. I myself have tried to create a product while also providing separate services, that can work to bootstrap a product company but is hard to maintain past a few clients.

As another commenter mentioned, if the customer base is different the support questions will be very different. I'd see the product needing at least a separate dedicated engineer and support.
As a former literature grad student I was liking where the first clause of your sentence was headed, but then you ruined it with the sort of denunciatory name-calling ("sociopathic") that the HN guidelines ask you not to do in comments here. We're trying for a discourse in which people don't hit each other with such sticks, so please don't bring them in to conversation.

I couldn't agree more. In theory, Reddit is a balanced website because of having upvotes/downvotes, yet it couldn't be more obvious on a lot of subreddits that there are slants towards certain ideologies. /r/politics for example swayed heavily between certain candidates during the primaries and election in way that was at times largely hyperbolic. On sports subreddit, heaven forbid something social or political gets submitted.

Often, I learn more from watching two people from opposing sides debate a controversial topic via a podcast than reading debates on Reddit whereby it's usually a popular opinion that is defended by a majority of subredditors vs. one dissenting voice that may have a legitimate argument (e.g. asking for proof of allegations towards a certain President-Elect).

Also strangely, questions that elicit excellent discussion can often even get downvoted. I think that even if you ask a question based on a faulty premise, you shouldn't get downvoted if you have the openness to admit your ignorance and help others understand a point of view. By downvoting those questions or opinions, it only pushes that potentially popular viewpoint down to the bottom, whereby instead of helping others who may have the same POV understand the counterargument and enable true discussion between two viewpoint, it can make one side feel ostracized and unwelcome.

I'll even give a specific example: On the topic of encryption and privacy, I'm sure some people believe that "Well, I have nothing to hide, so why should I care about a government who wants to expand their surveillance capacity if I know I'm not a terrorist?" I feel like on /r/technology or /r/politics you'd get downvoted for that question, despite the fact that I'm sure a lot of readers have that particular point of view and could benefit from having someone gently articulate counterarguments.
Faster, more memory efficient and more ordered dictionaries on PyPy
I used to feel that way,but all my day jobs are python 2. They never to seem to want to budget in time to do an upgrade to python 3. It's been frustrating.

Lately I've been so frustrated I've actually been researching new languages with better performance, because that's a MUCH easy sales pitch to the business managers.
Meh. It's the old feud between fundamental research and applied engineering. You need both to keep moving forward. AlphaGo was a bit more in the applied camp.

Considering that Pebble is stopping product development, cancelling orders, ending warranties, ending support, and essentially completely shutting down I find the positive tone of this post and the Kickstarter update post to be nearly unbelievable.

I know we see plenty of "our incredible journey" posts filled with optimism, but euphemistic language and dozens of photos of watches and happy people and more watches is jarring.

It's not a shame to try hard at something and fail. But it is a shame to fail and pretend you succeeded. We can see through you.
I'm not the one performing gymnastics here. They were personal insults to spez, not related to Trump at all.

And the only reason that it matters is that the comment misrepresents reality on that front. Destroying trust is still relevant info, but it's also important to correct political spin to actual fact.
Alexis Ohanian visits Notre Dame, & specifically meets with my advisor. We show them what we are working on in regards to analyzing Reddit (probably not the wisest thing to show them a work in progress, before all the data is collected). They're not thrilled about it. A few weeks later, a crucial part of the information is gone.

You tell me.
At Azure scale, ASICs would definitely be cheaper but they're still using FPGAs for the flexibility. OTOH AWS is using ASICs so we can see that different clouds have made different tradeoffs.

>You're fine with it today because it's a group you don't like. What about tomorrow when the same thing will be applied to a group you do like?

Then I'll leave. Simple as that.

I don't want an anarchist site where malicious actors and nasty people are free to race to the bottom because we're afraid of polite society.

The Founding Fathers of America differentiated between Liberty and Freedom.

Freedom is anarchy, but Liberty is freedom with common sense restriction. Liberty is freedom from onerous interference.

I don't want a Free Reddit, I want a Reddit that respects Liberty.

Not a Reddit which lets maliciousness exist because it can, but one which has common sense restrictions to create a better community.

It's no secret that far-more-strict control on Hacker News produces far-better outcomes for discussion than Reddit.

The hands-off approach to Reddit creates a race to the bottom for trolling and nastiness.
"the typescript specific features such as mapped types are completely ignored"

Oh, for me it's just because I'm to dumb to grasp them ;)

Joke aside, I knew the other features from JavaScript already. I used them for half a year now and know what they give me. The rest is something I probably will apreciate when the time comes and I need it.
> How tightly TS is related to C#?

TS is a superset of ES6+. So, not much. Dart is closer to C#, I'd say.

C# is a well-designed language, though. You can't say that about the first iterations of JS and none of its baggage was ever dropped for the sake of maintaining backwards compatibility.

TS gently pushes you in a more modern direction, which means that those JS issues matter much less in practice. It works pretty well. It does what it's supposed to do; it makes working on larger projects much more manageable.

If you write a lot of JS, I highly recommend to check it out.

Spouse made it the way you describe sometime back and result was not too bad. Though I love a massive round naan with their spicy karahi from near by pakistani place.
I tried doing this exact same thing and it wasn't as quick/easy as I hoped so I bailed, so first off, thank you for making it, and second, don't worry that its messy at least you got it started and that is the hard part.
That is one of the things I meant by "more obvious patterns". That works of course, but you also create connections in the other direction now as well for your vote fraud.

There is another effect that probably doesn't apply to Reddit, but on Stack Overflow it can be pretty noticeable if you upvote crappy posts by your socks too much, and someone will investigate.
Of course it would help if there were a singular standardized Windows design to follow. Doubly so if the goal-post didn't move every couple of years.
TypeScript is great. I built https://www.findlectures.com over a year, starting in plain Javascript. Once the codebase was large enough that got stuck I added TypeScript, and it's been great for isolating defects.

It's nice paired with React (vs PropTypes) because the checking happens a lot earlier and is much richer.
I think when we finally start building hierarchies, when NNs "go meta", that's when we'll start seeing truly mind-boggling results.

There can be no AGI without hierarchical, "meta" NNs.
I do that as well. However, I started tracking how focused & productive I felt during each work session / pomodoro (using a program called Vitamin-R), and the preliminary results aren't good. I'm measurably more productive if I turn the TV off. I can improve productivity further by putting on noise-cancelling headphones & my programming-specific playlist.

Your mileage may vary of course, but sometimes it's worth testing & measuring these things.

Thank you. I was wondering where they got the extra energy from, as IR is less energetic than visible. Did they use two photons to get one (ie, reduce the intensity)? No. They use a separate light source.

So the advantage here over current tech is that you are able to see the visible also, it seems. That is, you're looking through glass and getting all of the visible plus enhanced IR.
You bring up a good point, in Windows 10 Edge is already the default browser. My comment is more joke then anything substantial. I think realistically anyone who isn't targeting enterprise could use Flexbox and be fine most of the time.
Node.js recipe for automating JavaScript profiling in Chrome
I don't understand the idea of "preventing a cheater from seeing votes." The only way I can think to "cheat" reddit votes is to just throw a bunch of bots at a post. Presumably, one knows how many bots one has. If the idea is you don't know which bots are shadowbanned and which aren't, it would be trivial to just have your own private subreddit that the bots post in regularly, and see whose posts become visible to other accounts.
No, I don't think it aids your point.

Let's say I can deliver it (for whatever "it" is) $1 cheaper with a drone than with a truck. Let's say I'm delivering a $300 tablet. Nobody cares about the $1. (I mean, yes, some business - either the seller or the delivery business - cares about the $1. But it's not enough to move the needle on customer behavior. If it would, a reasonably smart seller would drop their price $1.)

But if I'm delivering a head of lettuce, that $1 difference is going to make significantly more customers have lettuce delivered. And the seller can't drop their price $1 to achieve the same effect, because they have 1% margin. More: If the seller lowers the price 98 cents and keeps 2 cents, the seller just doubled their margin on that head of lettuce.

I think your point is also valid - working from the top of the value chain down is a fine strategy, and FedEx is a great example of it. But working from the bottom up ("disrupting from below") is also a very useful strategy, and Intel is a good example of it. They started making chips to power calculators. They didn't start by trying to replace IBM mainframes.
You can create TypeScript models from C# already. TypeLITE[0] will generate TS models using T4 templates. TypeWriter[1] is a visual studio extension that regenerates TS models whenever you save a file.

To simplify a bit, if your company is based in the U.S. and subject to National Labor Relations Board jurisdiction, this is illegal. Knowledge of this is a nice tool to have in your back pocket while dealing with management and HR.

That only works for primitive types. As soon as you start using classes and sumtypes then you need an explicit parser. I wrote one for a client about a year ago. It took a lot of effort but well worth it.

So much of the time "the cloud" is an anti-feature.
I've worked in Supply Chain and Logistics at one of the biggest and most innovative players in the arena, and I can tell you that 99% of the "innovations" that get talked about are complete unadulterated bullshit. As in orders of magnitude more expensive than traditional delivery models.

There's plenty of innovation, but drones are not one of them. They will fail hard. The physics alone is a huge obstacle, but the planning, logistics, and optimization possibilities that they create or take away guarantee it will only ever be used in insignificantly tiny niches, if at all.

Another Day in the Life of a Netflix Engineer
I actually don't disagree with that, although the statistics will vary depending on the population served by this particular hospital (e.g. hospital near a ski slope which sees a high number of relatively healthy people who collapsed due to an accident or hidden medical issue will probably have better rates).

Unfortunately, the "median" resuscitation call, in my own experience, is for something like "77-year-old cancer patient who is unconscious". We get there and see that there is no pulse, we have to go through the motions if there is no DNR order, but everyone knows it's hopeless, since it's not like we can cure cancer while we do chest compressions. Sometimes we can get a pulse back, but we know - although not "officially" - that the patient will be pronounced dead at the hospital within a few hours. Now I will say one thing here - it is often easier for the family to go through this process, since they can feel that "they've done everything till the very end", although from the point of view of medical practice it would be better to have a DNR order; that's really the type of situation that these orders are for.

But to reiterate - if you don't actually have disease that you know of, I would personally recommend giving yourself a chance, like that guy with the pneumothorax got. it's up to you, of course.

Though I would say that a living will is probably more useful for most relatively healthy people than a DNR order, since you can end up in a situation in which you are unable to function without any resuscitation being involved. I think a lot of the people commenting in this thread are really thinking of these more long-term situations, rather than resuscitation, which is an on-the-spot decision.
> it's a stretch to call this political

I'm sorry to disappoint, but it's really not a stretch to call "Donald Trump person of the year" a political story.

We're planning to go back to the status quo ante—with a few adjustments—once the no-politics-weeks thing is over. But even under HN's normal conditions, this article would be off-topic.

And yet when I lived in Rome I was in a building that was built in 1499, yet the interior was very sleek and modern. Turns out if you build with good bones you can maintain the place without sacrificing your history.
