I have experimented with adding other veggies, but it just ends up adding complexity and allows worse choices to sneak in over time. It's easier for me to deal in absolutes in this matter.

Potatoes have a great balance of nutrients and provide satiety in a way that no other food does. I can (and do) eat 2 pounds of potatoes a day, which is about 800 calories. That leaves me with 1,200 calories of "space" (assuming a 2,000-calorie diet) where I can introduce the variety you speak of at dinnertime--2 or more vegetables, a protein (typically legumes or meat) and fruit or another starch. The restriction to potatoes during the day simply blocks out a lot of "bad variety" in the form of convenient junk foods: in my experience, a potato is a better food choice than most of the foods pushed at me while I'm working, running errands, etc.

The 24-hour version of the diet is usually only done for 3 days at a time. It provides sufficient macros during that time period and also provides a better micronutrient balance than most U.S. citizens get from their current diets.
The trouble comes with eating plants. Do they want to be eaten? So far we pushed our desire to live onto animals. Why not push that view onto plants? At least to the core plant (seed bearing plants appear to need, and I guess therefore desire, for their fruit to be eaten to decimate their germs)? The trouble with the lauded projection is we are left with not eating anything. Perhaps after the singularity then?

My workflow so far (pre react-native-git-upgrade) has been to `git commit`, then run `react-native upgrade` and say yes to all the prompts, and then afterwards manually `git add -p` the changes that react native wanted to make to my files (the proposed changes made them "standard" and got rid of customizations, but also upgraded legacy parts from the original templates).

For each change, then, I try to upgrade any react-specific code while preserving my own changes to that file.

It's certainly cumbersome and I avoid doing it too often, but I've found this manageable.
Good thing this is out. I'm gonna put one on my blog, in expectation of the traffic I'd like to have!
>The issue with film is that you can't get an image "out of the camera," it must be developed first. In order to get a usable image, you must know how to properly develop the film yourself, or pay one of the handful of competent remaining labs to develop it for you.

To some degree I think this is part of the reason that film photograph has retained some appeal. There is no instant feedback, the process forces you to be more deliberate with each photograph, and the techniques to create images with film are becoming more arcane each year.

Like many other things that have been made easier by technology, there is often lasting interesting in the art of doing something by hand even if there is an easier/faster/more efficient way to get the same result. See Etsy:IKEA, craft beer:Budweiser, Digital:Vinyl music etc. I see film photography headed towards a similar niche.
You're absolutely right - there is a lot of room for improvement. One of the big research threads in ML is better unsupervised learning - to learn from data without labels. Another hot topic is adversarial networks, which generate their own training data by playing against each other. (15 years ago this was "competitive co-evolution";)

> If the key to making ML useful has been huge sets of training examples

BTW this is only for some ML approaches and problems. There are some problems where getting more data is just way too expensive; e.g. building a model from silicon manufacturing where each mfg. run costs $50M; i.e. each datapoint costs $50M. Guess what - there are still useful ML-y things you can do here. Less extreme, there are many problems with only 100-1000 training points available, and you can still do a lot.
The Go core team has been opinionated but not really dogmatic.

Their argument has never been that you don't need generics. It has been we don't want to add them in the currently available forms right now and here are the ways you can get around their absence in the meantime.
I wonder if any this applies to that experiment about adding obstacles in front of an exit speeding up exit times by slowing down individuals (especially in the case of an emergency - where sometimes the exits become blocked by the masses all trying to exit the same way - and perhaps even ignoring another route that would lead to a quicker exit)?

That's partly true, however as someone who uses React Native with multiple production apps, having "real" native experience is invaluable when using React Native. To create a good RN app you need to know how the system works and be comfortable jumping to the native side when needed. If you don't you're bound to create a sub-par app by trying to make everything fit into the web side which is all you know.

It is possible to create an app without native experience, but it is still needed to create a very good app.

I'm also a veteran of working at an aquarium and have heard this story before. Is it something you witnessed? I've wondered where this story came from:

- http://belizeadventure.com/2013/08/octopus-facts/

- https://www.tonmo.com/threads/midnight-tank-escapes-fact-or-...

Edit: this is not to call you out for you story, it's very possible that this happened at CHS aquarium, I'm just wondering the origins since it's such a fascinating and strange story.
You're underplaying your hand; the most recent non-nominal instance of "gage" I can find in comment search is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13118997, from a month ago. Your most recent example is a couple of years old.

To your point about "gauge" (v.) vs. "gage" (v.), the end of the Age of Sail (ca. 1860) overlaps the rise of steam machinery by a century more or less. If steam drove the difference in usage that chart displays, then we need to explain why that took a hundred years after the advent of steam power to happen. We also need to explain why "gage" (n.) was left behind to the extent that it was.

Pedant though I am, my querulousness is not entirely without limit, and I have other things to do today, too. I'll concede "archaic" and soften it to "old-fashioned" if you'll acknowledge the plainly obvious fact that "gage" in this usage is a clear typo, just one of many which existed (and may still exist) on the rather longwinded page under discussion, rather than a deliberate stylistic choice on the part of that page's writer, who does not seem overall to have invested a great deal of close thought into his use of language thereon. Fair?

> A decent full frame 35mm digital will probably beat a film medium format comfortably on colour reproduction, resolution and clarity.

I think this is true for B&W films.. the grain even on medium format is still visible. But, I would be surprised vs shooting a color slide film like provia 100F with very fine grain structure and getting a proper drum scan.

> Animal products are, on the whole, deleterious to our health.

Because this is not proven. Soy is pretty bad for us. The best diet to date is the mediterranean diet. While not having much beef, it does include ample amounts of fish with some chicken. If we focus on science, vegetarianism is not the best course. Moderation that includes taking life is so far (and this can change) the best solution.

Good luck buying a large format digital camera with a high quality sensor, it'll cost you an arm and a leg. Film cameras are super cheap, you can get 35mms for free on yard sales or Craigslist. Their lenses also. A high quality 50mm prime lens with an old mount is absurdly cheap compared to its modern equivalent used on digital cameras - you can even get high quality prime lenses for free if you're ok with manual focus.
I wonder, I used to feel that way, but now nothing is better than a full day at the beach truely relaxing and doing absolutely nothing. I wonder if it's because of age or because my job is really burning me out and leaving me with no energy.

Why the computers of course
In a similar vein, here is a VM I made for educational purposes.

https://zenoamaro.github.io/chip3/

It runs in the browser, featuring a fully inspectable CPU and RAM, rewindable execution, and simple inline disassembly of the source. It's also got a simple assembler (no GUI yet, sorry for that) which it uses to run the example program[1].

The hardware is as simple as possible:

- 3-bit instruction set, for a grand total of 8 instructions, inspired by the PDP-8

- 5-bit addressing, giving 32 words of 8 bit RAM

- A simple, integrated printer

The source is, I hope, documented well enough[2]. There is a handbook available[3], and a small IDE is in the works.

I think you may be on to something, because I was wondering how this might apply to deep learning as well; that is, such networks tend to have many layers and connections to generalize better, but at the expense of being slower (?). I'm not an expert either - but I think there may be something of interest there for study.

I think that's oversimplifying. I'm self-taught and I took it on myself to learn rather than go to an expensive school, and I've had a successful career. It wasn't handed to me and I totally get that you should take responsibility for your own success.

But there's more than one factor. I grew up white and not poor, my family had enough money for a computer and internet access. My father was an engineer and took me to science museums. I had enough money to buy expensive books about programming.

I may be responsible for my own success but I was also completely set up for it, and that matters too. If I'd grown up poor, I doubt I'd have dragged myself to the library every day to use their free computers. I've worked hard and I believe I deserve my success, but I've also been privileged.

After my diesel car had trouble starting in -15°C temperatures, I will avoid buying a diesel car again. I like the diesel engine for its high torque and the fact that I pay less for fuel, but gasoline is cleaner and I can install a LPG kit if I want cheap, cleaner fuel. A gasoline powered hybrid vehicle negates all the advantages of diesel.

Diesel is really for trucks, ships, agricultural and construction vehicles and some railway engines. It should be taxed more than gasoline because of NOx, particulate and sulphur pollution.
Dang you hit it before me - I was wondering the same thing, and posted about it to another comment here...
Thanks! One more question for you and @jat850:

So with the online games, etc. is the point just that you are better than the next guy to join the game so you just end up winning against players that are not as good? How reliable is something like that? It's true that a sucker is born every minute, but is it really feasible to make a living off it vs just staying income-neutral (e.g. win some, lose some, not really make any profit)?
In the case of Iraq, I wouldn't call it democracy. We just took a secular state and made it an Islamic state - a very unstable one at that.

We don't view JIRA and Trello as competitors.

JIRA shines in areas that (a) have workflow and (b) require repeatable processes across a number of people.

Once you have 20+ people on a project, you need repeatable processes.

In cases like bug tracking, project management, customer service, help desks, HR onboarding and hundreds others you need workflow.

Trello shines in areas where you have (a) small teams or (b) require ad-hoc semi-structured data.

In small teams, even if repeatable process would help you, it's not worth the cost of setting up a system - you achieve it by social means.

Trello also has many, many use-cases where you want to start something quick, or personal. In this case it really shines, with near-zero friction to get started.

Probability of Raising Funding
I get the idea, but then I'll be doing the work that the SVG engine is currently doing. So really, here you're trying to get canvas to do something that it wasn't designed to do - which is weird, because that was your argument against svg in the first place. A quick google reveals the general solution of "sounds like you should be using svg." [0]

Given that svg 100% works for my usecase, I don't have any reason to attempt anything else at the moment. People give svg a hard time about performance and I think that's counterproductive. My suggestion is that everyone should give it more of an honest shot and I suspect they'll find that there are plenty of cases when it becomes the first tool they reach for.

-"have to respond soon."

What is it about the email that makes you think you have to respond soon? Is it the culture at the company around email?

I work at a non-technology Fortune 500 in the IT dept. (I work remote, too) and the general expectation is that we check our email 2-4 times a day. Occasionally I go a day going through my inbox once all day, and it has never been a problem.

I suppose it is a company culture issue?
> - Don't bundle third-party dependencies. For security (and for better documentation of the true dependency graph) distros often must go through extra trouble to unbundle third-party libraries when present. Some project even add their own custom patches to their bundled source. Resist the urge to do this.

If any of the dependencies aren't currently packaged in Debian, how would one follow this guideline?
The mind-blowing AI announcement from Google that you probably missed
I'm aware lol. Im a fan of his videos.
Exactly. No acquisition ever starts off with, "We're going to change a bunch of stuff as we assimilate this new company."

It's not hard to find "______ is being acquired by ________" headlines on HN, where everybody involved promises not to change anything, and then find the corresponding shutdown post on https://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/ sometime a few months later.

Unfortunately, even if Jira were really serious about not changing anything, it's not entirely up to them. No doubt there are some Trello employees who don't want to work for Jira, and a lot of them will eventually leave.

Even if everybody at Trello honestly believes it, in a few months it's not going to be their decision any more.
Ask HN: What should I learn?
Hi, I happened upon 2 month free open slot in my life. I am hoping to learn something that would help my career/employability. I am web dev that has been doing some containerization/devops type of stuff past couple of years. But I want to level up into something more. Thank you for your help.
I'm not certain that it wouldn't work, but it would have multiple compile steps: Hy => Python => Go => Native, which would either cause a lot of pain or make nigh impossible many of the advantages of using a lisp, like connecting a repl to a running process and being able to evaluate and rewrite code from there.
It seems like a lot of people are moving into the space to be the provider for creating structured data. I haven't seen any applications that are building a knowledge graph like Google for other to build applications on top of. Google turned theirs into a "knowledge vault" in order to build their own applications on top of it. It seems like it would be a good space to do what Google is doing but open it up for other to build apps.

Thanks for the response. Very informative.
