No, that doesn't follow from my statement.

I was pointing out why 'can only be a very good thing' might be wrong. If bitcoin's advantages are enough to offset its drawbacks (of which enabling ransomware is one), that is a good thing. That is not a given, though.
Clarifying: I was just imagining, I wasn't asserting that the he thinks React is better.

I don't see how you don't consider this hypothese. React cane out after Ember, and conquered the hearts of many many JS developers. Why couldn't Tom Dale be one of them?
This felt like click bait, it's about a Swedish nursing home - I was assuming this was related to office / tech work as it was high up on HN. It does sound ridiculous that reducing hours mean hiring 17 other staff - I've heard of tech companies being able to handle a few less hours per working week and benefiting from it.

Obviously this labor office couldn't play the same game with Google because Google has large offices all over Asia that have 100% asian workforce and 100% asian applicants.
though things like Owncloud help make it easier for self hosting, many enterprises will still prefer to opt for something like Dropbox because Operations are hard!

Why does anyone use hosted travis CI despite being able to run it ourselves? Why do people use google apps instead of hosting their own mail servers? Because instead of having your employees do something they're not necessarily good at, you will pay experts to do something they are (supposedly) good at for a fraction of the price.
Based on my experience of Google interviews, they seem like one of the companies least likely to discriminate based on age.

Their interviews tend to be very tech/algorithm focused. To the point where they disregard almost everything else.

I would have thought, fast and loose early stage startups would be far more likely to discriminate.
> China does not make films that American consumers would want to consume

This is empirically false: Crouching Tiger, Ip Man 1-3 were all well-received[1] in the US. I could add anything by Jackie Chan (and for a while Jet Li), but not all if them were Chinese productions.

1. The first had some overt propaganda in the form of a sadistic but inept Japanese occupying officer.

>As if individual developers are the reason behind the bulk of the downloads. I wonder how many downloads Travis alone counts for?

Travis runs/tests user projects, so there's nothing about it that's especially partial to Python 2 over Python 3.

>Your hate of Python 3 in every discussion about it is frankly baffling.

Or, you know, my pragmatic assessment of its popularity.

That you'd even use the word "hate" (when in fact, I like Python 3 over 2.7, even if its mostly tame updates over what 2.7 offers) shows that you're probably too partisan. I was enthused with Python 3 even when it was only a vision called Python3K back in 2000-ish. My personal preference has nothing to do with whether I see more people using it or not.

The situation is not unlike the perennial "next year is when Linux dominates the desktop", which has been every year since 1999.
Currently doing that, with the following differences:
- I am the cto for both companies
- one of my startup is already 3 years old

Even with a very low maintenance mode on my first startup, it's insane. Actually just one startup creation and bootstrapping is insane, so what happens is I just don't have time to manage and improve the first startup, yet it «kinda» works because it's a niche, with no competition, and my partner agreed to manage most of it while I am «less» available, but it really is a nightmare and it puts the business at risk.

I know it's hard to choose («to choose is to renounce»), but my advice would be to focus on just one of them.
It's bad that they had to pivot. I agree with all the visions they has for the product in the start, and I can't see why something like Karma is accused of being so dangerous.

People who like modern UIs greatly outnumber

Maybe initially when the fancy graphics grab their attention. But as they start to work their brains notice the "fancy" less and less and usability takes over:

Just like in games like shooters or Starcraft the pros actually turn down graphics settings - they don't notice the graphics any more so they don't are!

Same as why after a month you stop noticing the wonderful paintings you carefully selected for your home's walls. I haven't looked at mine in years. That#s why we get reddit /r/funny posts where people replace the family portraits in their parents house and then make a reddit post with the funny replacement picture "2 weeks and nobody has noticed anything yet".

Brains are made to tune out anything

a) not new

b) not used

So you end up with Google and reddit as major websites.

I'm not quite sure where that leaves websites like USAToday, but I highly suspect people learn to navigate it despite the graphics, and the design only serves to attract people initially. I on't think it helps retain users once they've been there for a while, except that keeping it stable helps keeping customers.

I know that Germany's top 1 or 2 news website www.spiegel.de (the other one competing for the top spot is a tabloid, bild.de) decided to stick to a much more text-based linear design even after a recent major redesign.

So while a look at actually successful websites doesn't tell us that simple designs always win your claim certainly isn't supported by the facts. Probably not as-is, and when it applies a lot of terms and conditions apply: What kind of people does a site attract? What kind of content do they serve? How long do people stay, how much do they interact with and use the site? Is it mostly "look at" content, or are there many interactions (reddit: lots of "using", USAtoday: mostly "looking")? Etc. I would make the claim the more people actually use a site (interact with the contents - clicking, navigating, writing, searching in the broadest sense, not just the "Search" function, for example trying to quickly find the top comments on a page) the less important the "fanciness"/"modernity" factor. As you use an interface your brain stops noticing how it looks and concentrates on how it feels (for example when it's always hard to hit that tiny "expand" icon on a comment thread right next to a complete different icon separated by only two pixels, how the icons look like will be lost).
Thanks for linking out - having looked at the project, the first thing I would do is to host it in Docker :)

There are some interesting parallels in the examples. One thing which I think is still too hard is getting HTTPs-style web hooks for AWS events. Any privately-hosted/hybrid solution would need a way to make that kind of integration easy.
I've seen this point refuted as bitcoin having value because it is value able as a transfer of value medium. The same way an armored truck would have value because you can transport valuable stuff with it so does bitcoin.
Still slower than OCaml, Haskell, Java or .NET.
The Tagalong OS
I applied for an SWE position @ Google back in 2015.

I was also rejected at the committee level, the reason was that I didn't have the amount of domain knowledge they wanted; in my case it was estimation theory/signal processing.
It doesn't look nor function like Reddit at all.

That's interesting. A quick search didn't turn up any math in the first few hits, but https://mises.org/library/cryptocurrencies-and-wider-regress... discusses this application to bitcoin somewhat skeptically.

Without more detail, https://wiki.mises.org/wiki/Regression_theorem seems to be saying that non-money uses of a currency set a floor on its value. If there are no such uses, the floor is zero. If there used to be such use-value, the past floor can bootstrap an equilibrium with a nonzero value in the present. Is there more to this theorem?
Show HN: Botmarker, a bot that helps you bookmark tweets you like
> And if you're worried about the sensors being vulnerable to hacking—Eldada says they've engineered the sensor with seven layers of protection to make sure the system can't be tricked.

A seven layer seal? That could surely only be broken by the darkest of magics.
"Trading" doesn't mean "buying". In fact every trade is a buy and a sell simultaneously. Volume doesn't tell you if the price trend is up or down.

You can buy and sell the same bitcoin back and forth a billion times and your volume will be astronomical. And this is possible on many Chinese exchanges because they don't charge trading fees. (Some apply fees on withdrawals from the exchange instead.)

So when you hear "98% of all bitcoin is traded in China," it's literally almost meaningless.
that has not worked out well for me in the java world - one connection pooler connecting to another one. unless one of them has ultimate control on timeouts and eviction.

Have you ever wanted to “bookmark” a tweet but ing it didn’t seem appropriate? Or you didn’t want your followers to know that you “liked” this or that tweet?

Or did you a tweet, but when you got back to it after few hours (or few days) you couldn't find it, either because it was deleted, or because you ed so many tweets that it became difficult to find what you are looking for?

botmarker solves all these problems (and many more).

botmarker is a bot that helps you bookmark tweets you like and organize them into categories (#tags) without revealing what you are interested in to your followers (or stalkers :) ). botmarker also keeps a copy of tweets you bookmarked even if they get deleted.

botmarker is NOT a “standalone” app (no need to install any additional apps), but rather it is more like an add-on to twitter, and you can use it “inside” your favorite twitter client. All what you need to do to bookmark a tweet is to DM it to @botmarker. You can add hashtags to you DMs to organize them by categories.

We are opening our public beta today, and we would love to get your feedback about our app.
Some people who publish on Medium (me included) have a commercial arm which is trying to gain recognition from publishing.

Better known examples would be 37Signals and Buffer.

Increasing sales via the commercial arm is the aim and so being rewarded for publishing is not completely necessary. In fact I would consider paying for more premium features. Such as ability to restrict read next to particular publications or even pay for greater reach in other publishers "read next" areas which could then compensate them.

I also use Medium to publish personally with no real need for financial reward. I use Medium because it is easy and I don't get distracted playing with navigation or sidebar or thinking "I could stick Adsense on this and earn $2.00 a month".
The smaller sensors aren't the same as the giant sensor that goes on top of the car, but ~10 of them can give you comparable coverage for self-driving purposes (assuming they work similar to other smaller LIDAR sensors such as what ibeo makes, hard to say before the product actually ships). And a few thousand dollars is easily affordable for luxury cars; think of it as a typical upgrade like consumers pay for navigation packages, stereos, leather interior, etc.

With regards to the missed shipments - I agree, that is a red flag. And when a company gives a timeline, and then that passes and they change their answer to "soon" it's concerning. Of course, it's CES right now - maybe someone will make an announcement in a few days. Last year Quanergy hyped up their sensor, but when they were pressed it turns out their demo sensor was actually not solid state.
Is a statistical preference amongst small children a valid justification for offering less pay to equally qualified workers?

I personally think the regulators may be overreaching here, but have no problem with the regulations themselves. They are necessary, as humans living in the united states have historically been unable to rise above their biases. Without active pressure for integration, we end up with segregation, for reasons which have nothing to do with biological determinism.

Take access to schools and education. Education funding in the US is basically allocated through local property taxes. Thus, richer neighborhood have far better schools than poorer neighbourhoods. Meanwhile, red-lining and white flight have led to a society largely segregated on class and racial grounds. So certain racial groups have been systematically denied access to housing in areas with better education funding, leading to worse educational outcomes for their children, leading to less money for buying houses in nice neighbourhoods with good schools, and so on.

Opportunities in Big data
Well, I was prepared to see something like this, unfortunatelly I didn't really had time or desire to write a more detailed response.

No, that's not what I made of it, but them

I went from Ubuntu to Arch becase they desided they are now the coolers kids in the town and started to introduce shit like Unity and other things. Be the time 10.10 came out - I had to rebuild 1/3 of the system to make it as nice (in my opinion) as it should be and as it was up until they decided to fuck it up (again - just my opinion).

Anyway - Arch was the best thing I could find among all other distros. Modular approach, KISS, very easy to install and maintain.

The problem (both with Ubuntu and Arch, mind you) comes not with what you described as "new shiny things from unproven teams" or "Newer is often not automagically better.".

Here is an example for you.
At some point Jim was using program A for audio editing and program B for video editing. A used some libA library and B uses libraries libA and libB (among many others).
At some point something happened inside the team of libA and now we have libAa and libAb. They have some differences (obviously). Now the teams of A and B have to decided what library to use. Fighting among them leads to new arguments about functionality and other this and two new forks appear.

So now we have programs Aa, Ab, Ba and Bb. Now Jim, as a use of their previous versions had to chose what to use from this moment onwards and sometimes, it happens so that he needs all the functionality that B had, but not it is torn between Ba and Bb. So by the end of the day he has two forks of B installed, one fork of A, two libraries that do the same thing and he is praying nothings starts to get in conflict with the others.

And this happens all the time.

>We've been using and developing with and deploying on Ubuntu for years now.

This makes it sound like you are talking about something that works as a server for services or software you deploy. I'm talking about using linux at home as working\media machine, not as a server. The latter has no such problems (not to this extent at least)

We try to use Python 3 at work but have to run Python 2 as well because there are still packages that weren't upgraded and it's too much working re-writing them all for no direct benefit.

We also have third party vendors that only support Python 3 in experimental versions, and there not even recent versions (Bloomberg is a great example).

I really like Python3 features, but the pain of using them drives me towards using other languages. I hope Julia will be stable and mature enough soon so that I can dump Python all together. I really like Julia, but currently the changes in the languages are too fast and there are constantly incompatibilities with packages that don't update fast enough. But I'm reasonably certain that this will be fixed once they reach 1.0.

I'm sure Python is far from dead, but can imagine that Julia has the potential to kill it in many domains.
You can get that in VS via the Interactive Window (View->Other Windows->C# Interactive).

Theoretically you could implement a completion system for the terminal but we reused the WPF editor layers for the completion system rather than building a new one from scratch, so it isn't available in the terminal.

Also, all that is open source at https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn and the scripting core can be rehosted as an API.
Code Reviews in an Agile, Fast-Paced Environment
At no point in the future will you be any younger. So if you think you are not being hired because they are discriminating based on age, then there is no downside to participating in the settlement--you won't be hired either way. If you think there is a chance you will be hired in the future, then they are not discriminating based on age.
Trading volume is not the important metric here. Trading volume is free to produce, order book depth/liquidity is not. The real value of an exchange is measured by how many it has of 1) dollars bidding on bitcoins and 2) bitcoins offered for dollars.

This provides a cushion effect on the price of bitcoin, since large orders won't eat through as much of the order book and bring the price up/down.

Trading volume is just people (allegedly) making trades. Liquidity can be easily tested by executing large orders, and seeing whether they will allow you to withdraw the proceeds.

I expect this to be useful, enough so that I planned on adding it to a (non-CL) language implementation. (But it hasn't happened yet, so I can't report from experience.)

BTW, while everybody in this thread seems to think that partial application is all there is to Haskell style currying, it isn't. Consider

(defun foo (x) (lambda (y) (+ x y)))

If you can't call this as

(foo 1 2)

to get 3, you still don't really have currying.

Are you arguing that discrimination should be illegal only when it's difficult to cover up? Not sure I see where you're coming from here.
I think there is something to micropayments here. The cost per incremental page view is extremely low, so the payment should be 2-3 orders of magnitude lower than it is now (more like $0.50 per month for 50 articles than $4/mo @ WSJ).
You press a button, take your hands off the wheel, and it drives down the highway.

That is absolutely self driving.

If half of your driving time is done by the car, that is still a massive benefit to consumers.

End to end autonomity, Is even better, of course, but I think that everyone is selling short the in between 95% self driving.

Even TINY features, like autobraking in emergencies, has the potential to save tens of thousands of lives every year, if it got fully deployed in all cars.

And for jobs, highway driving is 90% of what truck drivers do. If you have highway self driving (which we DO, right now!), then there goes most truck driver jobs.
Python needs all the extra runtime and interpreter cannot just be compiled that easily, except with dropped features.
Well, you need evidence to prove discrimination, and not all discrimination leave evidence. This is unlike things like theft or injury.
The 6502 is actually still in production. However...

Modern assembly x86, or even modern ARM assembly, is significantly more complicated than 6502 assembly.

Starting with the 6502 will let you write working code more quickly and introduce you to the core concepts of assembly language programming.

More than this, even if you never write assembly, being aware of what a CPU instruction set looks like helps you grasp core concepts in C/C++.

If you're only ever going to write high level code (e.g. JavaScript) this probably isn't helpful. But as an aid to understanding how computers work, and what they are capable of, it can be really useful.
