Random Projections in Random Forests
Any details you can share kind of things you automated and tools that used?
2016 Review: What I Could Have Done Better, What I Did Right, and Plans for 2017
Year 2016 Review from Freelance Web Developer Perspective
Isn't there research that shows that ketosis provides an anti-inflammatory response? Moving into ketosis for fat-loss may be the right thing to do (at least for a period)...
ActionScript 3

purpose: sysadmin, automation, server-side programming, daemon, shell / interactive shell, command-line tools etc.

well ... it's not that old (cerca 2006) but it is considered dead LOL
This is what the end of Moore's law looks like.

You spend $12 billion in annual R&D (a total that's risen substantially over the past decade) and then someone accuses you of "not trying" because your chips aren't that much better than last year's models.

10 years from now, I expect that the death of Moore's law will have permeated much further into our cultural consciousness. Skeptics cried wolf for years, and they were wrong, but this time the wolf has finally arrived.
A little OT, but I'm wanting to put together a drip system in our yard. Any resources you'd recommend/found very helpful?

I live in the Pacific Northwest, so am thinking about installing a cistern/rain water collection center, then putting together a drip system for planter beds that we'll be installing.

Thank you!
This isn't even wrong. In market transactions, there's no dichotomy between "redistribution" and "productivity". There's "redistributive" tax and economic policies that governments enact, by political fiat. Those policies are almost the opposite of market transactions.

Using the definition you've proposed, it's hard to think of any service transaction, from doctors visits to architectural consults, that isn't somehow "redistributive".
Hmm... I still find browsers more memory blind than anything, any machine with less than 16GB of RAM I find really struggles with JavaScript heavy sites, god damn JavaScript.
> A fast horse can run more than 40MPH which about all you can expect from a car in a city

A slow car can go much more than 40 mph. Both cars and horses may be practically limited by traffic most of the time in crowded urban environments, but cars are still faster, even in most cities, on both peak and practically-attained-average speeds.
Although typical usage of middle class includes professionals, it has not historically been equivalent. It is a social definition, and not purely economic. It would typically also include some skilled trades, managers, civil service, etc.

It is usually more effective to think about this as being more about social capital than monetary capital.
I believe the general view is that 'non value producing' service jobs add value by saving the time of and thus amplifying the productiveness of individuals with 'value producing' jobs.

If you are comparing the economic effect of a growing industry of elder care to a society where no elder care occurs, then I can see how you might draw the conclusion that growth in this industry is a waste because these are not 'value producing' jobs.

In reality, a society where no elder care occurs is not the alternative as some form of elder care would be taking place. People who work doing elder care are amplifying the productiveness of the friends, family and neighbors who do have 'value producing' jobs.

Personally, I think our current styles of elder care and our ageist biases waste a lot of economic potential and social value by wasting the time of our elders. I think that finding ways to tap this potential while providing better care for our elders would be the OPPOSITE of spiritually corrosive. As it is, many find working in elder care quite rewarding, especially when that elder care happens in less institutional and dehumanizing settings.
> Nobody cares about preformance per watt if it means everything lags a massive amount.

As evidenced by the fact that Intel has failed to compete in mobile, this is obviously false.

We've been hearing nonstop from message board enthusiasts that Intel is going to kill ARM for years and years now. In reality there's absolutely no sign of that happening, and in fact their recent deep cuts to the Atom line suggest the opposite.
I've been falling back in love with Forth, and specifically SwiftForth https://www.forth.com/swiftforth/ the full source code to everything comes with the paid version, and you can literally change everything. So much saner and cleaner in implementation than shitstorms like Go, GCC, LLVM, and Java.

I'm thinking of a {life coach, personal assistant, concierge, gopher, personal trainer} service for people with motivation issues.

It might hold you a little accountable for things like exercise and offload some errands and legwork for easy things like PP is asking. There are services for this already but I'm thinking more opinionated and motivational.
102W is a /lot/ of power and heat...
I find that clear notetaking is amazing in guiding discussions. Being the one who sends out the meeting summary with next actions and clarifying remarks or being able to refer back to meeting notes gives me an amazing power in making decisions or resolving disputes. Just because I'm the one who's writing stuff down, I'm somehow given the authority to say "this is what we decided at the meeting".

This is not a scam. This is the real deal, with years of research and testing behind it. Disclaimer: I know one of the principals directly.
toptal AFAIR tries to assign rates based on location, too.
I really hope AMD's Ryzen is pretty great when it comes out this year.

Intel seems to be diddling about without competition these days, and we the consumer need AMD to pull a "K7 Athlon" again, which beat Intel to 1 ghz and was a great processor.

Otherwise it seems everyone's going for more energy efficiency and mostly mobile (ARM) these days.
Yep, I get it, and as I said I'm still not sold on systemd and therefore use Elementary with the knowledge that if it breaks and I have to fix it, I'll have to deal with that massive tumor. The great thing about Elementary is, if all you need is a ⁎nix system with a consistent GUI for something like web development but without buying Apple's premium hardware, it really shines. The Terminal app is the best I've used on any OS, and while the text editor isn't quite a full fledged programmer's editor, it's good enough for a lackey like me. I figured out that Geany is overkill for my needs, and Scratch handles all my use cases fine.

I do think they try a bit too hard to look like macOS, but if you're going for the best desktop Linux experience, why not copy the best commercial ⁎nix desktop?

I agree completely about BeOS/Haiku; BeOS was my daily driver for several years until the death of the company caused me to have to move on. I have yet to find a modern OS that even comes close to that kind of cohesive, sensible, practical approach to desktop computing. Haiku is coming along well, but it's still not stable enough for daily use beyond dogfooding for Haiku devs.
Not true; Apple's own A-series silicon is starting to be a serious threat. For instance, the A10 in the iPhone 7 now beats all Intel chips ever shipped in MacBook Airs in single-core CPU benchmarks. Right now, today. And it's less than 3 years behind vs. Intel CPUs in the MacBook Pro. It also beats the Mac Pro's 12-core Xeon (from 2013) in single-core.

This despite the A10 running on FAR less power.

Apple's definitely within shouting distance and is a serious threat to just replace Intel entirely, at least for its own needs.
Your JS heaps are not approaching 16GB unless you have thousands of tabs loaded. You can verify this in about:memory.
As for ways to keep inflammation down, I assume cold baths and aspirin aren't exactly "enough" for noticeable effects at the moment.

Are there any more good ways to treat inflammation that would be a good supplement to exercise?
I thought that at first, but it's plastic. It's called "ROG Armor" I think.
I understand this, and maybe it's an opportunity for you to find out more about them considering your expertise.

Following your fact finding quest you could then post a detailed blog about your analysis for other HN'ers to read. I would be glad to read such a review with facts and figures explaining objectively what is wrong (or right!) about the proposed product.

Keep us posted!
> * Mac store listing, which means you can charge for extensions. But the Mac Store isn't known for a nice review process.

Do you know if this will allow companies to install extensions to their employee computers automatically?

I worked on a commercial Safari extension briefly assuming this functionality had to be there, but gave up when I realised there was no way to push it to an employee's computer without a prompt.
This is not impossible. In some people, reducing calories (edit: by a lot) leads their body to decide it's starving, lowering their basal metabolism. Humans are a complex system with feedback loops.

(edit: note that I'm responding to the 'impossible' comment.)
Another reason to pass on Kaby Lake is the hardware digital restrictions management built into the chip: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/11/netflix-4k-streaming-...
Many folks have said it here but I'll say it again: Common Lisp.

I have been using it professionally for 5+ years as a full-time employee at various companies. Some big-name ones, some smaller start-up ones. The mean Lisp team size has been around 4, but I did work on a project of 15 Lisp programmers. None of these projects were legacy code. Some were in places you wouldn't expect (embedded, multi-processor systems on custom-designed boards, for example). In every single case, we had no additional trouble hiring a Lisp or Lisp-capable programmer as compared to hiring for any other language, including Python. (In fact, Python was more difficult to hire for because the market is saturated with beginners who claim expertise.)

Lisp is one of those languages where the ratio of long-term benefits and productivity vs. good initial impressions is at a record high. It doesn't look like C or Python or JS, with all the parentheses, so people brush it off.

Lisp isn't the pinnacle of every great idea to come about in computer science and software engineering, but it is one of the most robust, macroscopically well designed, and most productive languages for translating arbitrary abstract ideas into maintainable, production code. Even if it doesn't look initially very pretty in the eyes of a career Python programmer.
> In the UK some cities have stats where people are known to just do 20 minutes of walking exercise per year.

No way that's correct unless the U.K. has cities full of bedridden people. 20 minutes of walking is 3.3 seconds per day. You need a catheter or a wheelchair to walk that little.
Electron's the obvious choice.
+1 for more cache! (And ECC)
To make it worse, they switched up the OEM model numbers to be unique so you can't tell for sure that the $300 dell cpu upgrade is really only switching out a $100 for a $250 one.
Your comment-history doesn't seem to indicate a pattern of reading difficulties, so I'm going to assume you're either just trolling or way way too emotionally-invested in your original snarky reply.

Either way, that's up to you to solve on your own.
If that is the case, I wonder what the impact of a fecal transplant from a person who "can eat whatever they want and stay skinny" would be?
You also get the container too, which they say expands in size.
I doubt "enterprise" databases like Oracle or MS SQL Server don't have similar bugs. Actually, what non-trivial software doesn't have bugs?
I had the opposite reaction to you from reading this bug. They fixed it amazingly quickly, after it was reported, no fuss.
surely there's a bus that goes straight up fairfax?

edit: looks like the 217 bus goes up fairfax and into west hollywood. why not take that?

Just skimmed the 'Cross-Cutting Concerns' in your paper above. Isn't AOP far more general than what you propose there? Please correct any misunderstanding but per the parent based approach you describe -- "cross-cutting concerns are modularized in parent incoming methods and this functionality is injected in child methods" -- you would need to duplicate a CCC e.g. logging in each distinct 'parent'.
It's quite clever of Bridgewater to claim a news article about their strange culture is "fake news". Wondering if Amazon or Theranos is taking notes here.
VR makes an excellent demo, but has anybody found themselves playing VR games regularly? For me, it seems a little like the 3D situation a few years ago. I bought a TV, got the glasses, and was able to play some PS3 games in 3D. It was a lot of fun... for an afternoon.
When I shopped for hardware at Circuit City I had commissioned salespeople hovering over me who knew nothing about electronics, computers, or hardware but wanted to sell me extended maintenance plans.

Then I shopped for hardware at Best Buy and Comp USA and they had sales clerks who shoved boxes on the shelves matching the UPC code, but they didn't even pretend to know anything. It was somewhat less annoying than Circuit City.

Now I shop for hardware at Amazon because I'm addicted to the free shipping and if its not significantly cheaper at tigerdirect or whatever in another browser tab, well, I'm not going to make a special order. Amazon doesn't have salespeople. I've never talked to a human at Amazon and probably never will. Its even less annoying than Best Buy!

Similar experience with banking. I'm old old old compared to the stereotypical HN demographic and when I was a young graduate I would take my physical paper check to an old fashioned local bank (long since merged into international megacorp) and a friend of mine's roommate was my cashier and I'd deposit that paper check into my account and get a paper receipt. Around the most recent financial crash I moved to a credit union and with direct deposits and ATMs I haven't been inside the building in the decade since... If you assume your average bank user will only spend an hour every decade moving to a new bank/CU, then America doesn't need many bankers, does it?
Bitcoin’s Quirky Genesis Block Turns Eight Years Old Today
TBH, I don't feel my FP has improved much after learning why monads are monoids in the category of endufunctors. I did it for the math geek in me.
The retired population in NYC is not 5.6 million. Further, these are older buildings which are not being replaced in part from rent control. So, the 'Gap' is wider than just 27,000 missing apartments.

In any case there still is a highly subsidized subset of the overall retired population that is part of the problem.
I don't know Intel's specifics, but often there's only a few chips that a manufacturer makes... and depending on the Quality / testing of the chips... the chips are binned into different categories.

As a hypothetical example (I'm not 100% sure if this is how Intel does things), and i5 could just be an i7 except it couldn't handle the higher clock rate. So instead of throwing away a chip that's limited in clock... Intel will sell the chip as an i5.

Or perhaps in another chip, the hyperthreading portion got borked because of a piece of dust landed in the lithography. So instead of selling it as an i7, the hyperthreading portion is fused off and the chip is sold as an i5.
>Kaby Lake actually does have a bunch of improvements for mobile applications.

If only getting a hold of their mobile processors wasn't so difficult because they're OEM parts. Perfect for things like fanless mini-ITX media center builds.

Then again, Intel will be refreshing its NUC line soon, and those tend to use mobile processors.

Proterra’s raised $140M for electric buses
>"if bodyfat can simply be melted away"

Hard to believe this kind of fantasy is still being promoted.

Burn more calories than you take in. That's it, that's the secret to losing body fat. It's simple thermodynamics.
That's not "his" stance; it's the stance of pretty much the entire law enforcement community, and a pretty substantial chunk of Americans. We all cheered --- I did too! --- when Apple failed to produce the contents of the San Bernardino iPhone. But people outside our industry do not see this as a good thing, and --- as unpopular as this statement will be in this community --- that's not an unreasonable perspective to have. Reasonable people can disagree about it.

(If you think reasonable people can't disagree about it, you're probably misconstruing the debate. You know this is happening if, for instance, the next rhetorical move you have to make is about how it's impossible to "ban mathematics" or about how "only outlaws will have cryptography".)

I am very unlikely to hold a bias against encryption against someone like James Comey. And I work in cryptography! I disagree with him about it, but that doesn't make him a bad person.

On the other hand, I have a hard time working around him violating what is apparently a very real election norm of the institution he runs. That to me suggests that he's unprincipled, which is the kind of thing I really have a problem with.
I'm curious how this architecture (or any "AI" medical tool) handles regulatory compliance issues.

In this case I would think you'd want to display when the rules/facts used for recommendations were last updated, which would add extra fields to track. There are also some interesting QA problems to work through.
"Provably fair" gambling with that sort of guarantee has been standard in the Bitcoin world for a few years now.

Of course, the ethically-challenged are endlessly creative, so there are cons you can do with that too - e.g., biasing any numbers the player didn't grab the hash for: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=948965.0
For some people, this will instead be a reason to upgrade, given the popular content gated behind.
Nice comparison table here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_HD_and_Iris_Graphics#Har...

> as I believe that skilled jobs help the worker lead a happier, more fulfilling life, as well as helping the people who benefit from the work product

I can't really speak to the second assertion here, but I wanted to chime in from the other side of the first.

I'm a mid level developer (late twenties) and if I could find a job that was 'routine' that paid what I make now, and kept me from having to deal with the public, I would take it in a heartbeat. Programming is interesting, sure, but the days that it's an absolute grind are awful. I'd gladly take a job that would let me stay out of the way of the people who are very much passionate about our shared profession.
I will certainly get more into C. Mainly because C is the biggest expansion in knowledge for someone who did 15y web dev on a high level. Secondly because I don't want at all get more in touch with hype madness of JS and the likes. If we produce code at that rate the whole system will collapse within 5 years. At that time I should be fit enough to take a C senior position.
It's not a scientific statement on this case, it's what i see as MD. It's just an observation.
I highly recommend firing up Google Earth and checking out the new campus. Someone has painstakingly modeled the construction site in 3D. Make sure you have 3D buildings enabled in Google Earth, and give it a chance to load the details. Tiny details like vehicles and machinery, mounds of dirt, even porta-loos have been rendered, You can zoom down inside and between the buildings to get a good feel of the space.

I wouldn't mind knowing who did that, and what their workflow is to model all that stuff.

I think once Apples moves in, they will be inspired to pick things up. It really is an amazing building.
It's not really that hard to predict.

Unless you are somehow expecting technology to stop improving and humans to somehow improve exponentially the trend is pretty clear. Machines will be able to do most of the things we do at levels we haven't seen before.

It's not hard to predict new jobs if they are there, they should already be there and you should be able to point to them.

The numbers speak for themselves. As I said the number of new jobs created have actually gone down decade over decade in the US.

The real danger is saying things like "jobs will come" thats not an argument when you can't point to it, then it just become a religious belief in something there is absolutely no evidence for.
I have written a number of CGI scripts (in Perl, of course) at work, and my relationship with it oscillates back and forth between love and hate.

I would like to replace it very much, because I don't like Perl 5's type system very much (and something like Moose is overkill, IMHO, for a 500-line-script).

But it's just so damn useful, and most of the time I can get something to work faster than with Python or Go. So I might not love Perl, but you could say I respect it very much.
Supply chain and employment aren't guaranteed. Dependents need be fed. For some of us, self-sufficiency is axiomatic and dropping $50k for a starter box might seem sensible.
I was running a 2500K until this past July. Upgraded to Broadwell-E for the same reasons you mentioned (even though it was also regarded a flop). I'm using the "Samsung 950 PRO Series - 512GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD" and it is a beast.

My old desktop was passed down to my wife, who was previously using my 3rd most recent desktop, a Core2 Duo (E6600 I think). The 2500K/2600K still has much life left in it for many tasks.
Since it's already been purported to work the other way (fecal transplant from overweight individual causes rapid weight gain [1]) it may become the next big diet fad. That would be a nice biohack.

Been thinking the same thing of late. There are many similarities. Lets hope it doesn't last as long though.
I hope this can be wrapped for clojurescript. Good job
