Well, it's not successful right now but it could be in some months:

Two years ago i've started working on an algorithm to find the perfect time for social media posts on facebook & twitter to improve user interactions & engangement. Right now it works so good for me that i've decided to extend the project by building an (invitation-only) SaaS Startup to get a proof of concept: https://realtarget.com

Because it's just a project beside my main job my girlfriend (project manager) and best friend (senior full stack developer) support me to lighten the workload.

If you like, i'll post a note on HN when the alpha version is ready.

I always disliked working with Phantom. Slow, buggy, crashy, limiting and weird subset of Javascript support with an awful ecosystem of hacks trying to get it usable in Node. I can't wait until a more stable tool superceeds it.
If you use block multiples on media with defects to speed things the good data fills the buffer first, then the remainder is zero padded for the blocks in error. This shifts good data relative to its original position and most likely further corrupts your attempts at recovery - BTDT.

Just looked at a few around the house:

- Australian: English/French for the photo page, page for restrictions, and the contact info. All the rest (bit where the GG requests in the queen's name (!) that you be allowed to travel, advice if you get arrested on drugs charges (!!) etc is in English

- USA: English/French/Spanish for name, address and other meta info. Advice on not violating ag rules etc in English. Request for free entry also trilingual

- German: "German Passport", number of pages, other meta info in all EU languages; name, etc in German / English / French. No request for free passage, no advice about being arrested.
I worry about a list that has "not eating plants" and "don't need shaving foam". One may (note the caveat) lead to ill heath and death, the other to a beard..
This is what I'd like to see:

Companies be required to offer various plans, at the employees discretion, that have different pay rates. For instance, working 75% of 40 hours might get you 80% of the salary. (with the hope that you are at least a bit more productive during your more limited hours than you would be if doing 40 hours)

Employees shouldn't be discriminated based on which plan they take. They just have to give a couple months notice if they change plans, especially if it is a small company where the impact might be greater.

Benefits is a complication, but personally I'd prefer health insurance etc was just separated from employment. Regardless, if you work less hours, you'd probably have to chip in more toward insurance.

This may still be costly to employers, but if all companies have to do it, it should work out. (sure, there are foreign competitors, but that is a different issue) And this can potentially help with unemployment.

The wanting part I get: a lot of people do database-backed Web apps, some of them (us!) see some useful attributes in Go and would like to have access to them in our world too.

Personally I get that appeal more strongly now that in Django-land we're well over 100K LOC and dealing with a lot more traffic and so on than when we started. Helping folks scale gracefully from "tiny app you can get going very soon" to "larger app that's still cool to maintain" might be where there's the most unfilled need.

The truly hard part is figuring out what improvements you can achieve without host/graft disease, where either the language itself or softer factors keep the mashup from working satisfactorily.

That is, one way to fail at improving DB-backed webapps in Go is the obvious one: you don't actually make them easy to build. Another is if you do make it easy to get started, but in the process lose the things that made it appealing to use Go. Those might be "hard" technical attributes like static checks and decent perf, or "soft" human- and standards-oriented things about Go: flexibility in choosing libs you want, or norms favoring explicit code where it's possible to work out what's really running from what's on the page.

Feeling out those tradeoffs is probably a long, communal process with a lot of trial-and-error. Certainly it's slower and harder than just trying to translate the dyn-language tools already out there. But I think it is possible and could be really useful.
Reuq: Frontend Framework
Hello Good people! So I messed around and built a JQuery friendly Framework.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/reuq

I’d be happy to get anyones feedback on this
I'm pretty convinced that there are critical upper bounds to population size and national surface area that guarantee that approaches that work great for small, tractable nations just cannot scale.

So step 0: Reduce the population of the US to the population of the metro Atlanta area (5.7 million in 2010).

Step 1: reduce the area of the US to the state of Maine (roughly).
That's me for the better part of 2015, having a product that gives me value, that I use every day and yet no one was interested in it (also, it was bleeding a couple hundred a month).

What I can tell you is that if your product is too innovative, you'll walk into walls, and that's fine. Most of the people I spoke to didn't get the service, and others seemed interested, but they were just polite. What you have to do is to launch and get out your product to the world, and then find the first customer, even if it's at 10% its price point—it will give you confidence and will validate that your product is valuable.

As for the feature creep, I think it will happen always, as each customer has its own view on your product, and since you're the one making it, they will tell you things, some are good ideas, but most of them are not very good, since most don't know what they want. You'll have to find balance.

The thing that helped me a lot is being in a big city. I'm from a way smaller place and I've been building stuff for 15+ years, and the big city mindset is way more open than the small city's, as they will use anything, but only once it has been proved.

I hope those pieces of advice help you in your journey. If you want to talk a little bit more, my email is in my bio.
I made a project like this as well, but with Ansible. I submitted a separate post for that but won't link it here out of courtesy. https://github.com/robbintt/popup-openvpn
You don't need parallel corpora -- the OP was generating the incorrect versions of training data through random perturbation (dropping articles, etc.)
It is 100% tongue in cheek, it's a very common complaint around here. The first snowfall of the year, traffic becomes a nightmare because people forget how to drive in the snow. And on snowy days, road with two lanes in each direction tend to turn into roads with one lane in each direction as people forget where the lines are drawn and then no one wants to drive outside of the established tire tracks.

Complaining about people driving in the snow is what gets us northerners through the winter months. It keeps us warm.
Ethnic homogeneity isn't the only reason comparing the US to Denmark doesn't make much sense, it's also due to population. Denmark is a tiny country with a population of 5.7 million people. That's about the population of Wisconsin.

The United States is a federation of self-governing states within which there are open borders and free trade...just like the European Union. The United States has a population of 320 million people, while the EU has a population of a similar order of magnitude: around 500 million. To many voters, the idea of enacting broad social welfare programs in the United States sounds just as infeasible as enacting similar programs in the whole European Union. California is different from Ohio, both of which are different from Georgia.

If we want to use Denmark and the Nordic countries as examples for our policies, we should move towards the republican (small r) idea of decentralization so that the states can enact such systems. Today, I pay roughly 30% of my income in taxes to the federal government, and 10% of my income in taxes to the state government. This should be the other way around - 10% to the Federal government and maybe 30% to my state. Maybe Wisconsin can have a single payer healthcare system, California can have a universal multi-payer system (like Germany), and Texas can have a universal multi-payer system like that in Switzerland.

TL;DR - We could be more like the European Union.
You've just called into question a race car driver's driving ability because you saw them not use their turn signal.

Capitalization and punctuation shouldn't be your signals for quality in a comment on Chaucer and Shakespeare and literary history.

I'm demonstrating one natural outcome of your criticism here by using proper punctuation, capitalization, and other grammatical minutiae while knowing not the damnedest thing about the quality or literary history of Troilus and Cressida.
In an attention economy, our attention is our greatest resource. The business model of digital capitalism extracts our attention by whatever means it can. And we give it to them, because we don't understand its true value.
What makes you think I'm not on the "would have to pay more" side of these issues? That seems uncharitable (and an ad hominem), to assume I'd only hold that view if I were consuming, not paying.

Im not saying that there aren't examples of excesses or that deductions for charitable giving aren't a good idea. Just that the view there should be no taxes or that it's somehow your money being taken away are both mistaken (and fundamentally rely on the notion you should be allowed to externalize costs).

The comment is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but I think the concern is valid. It probably is anthopomophizing, but that does not mean that it is automatically wrong. It might be game over by the time an example is apparent.
Conservatives, doubtlessly conservatives that you know, just elected Donald Trump President of the United States.

Let that sink in for a moment and then reflect on what conservatism even means.
This is a classic appeal from authority. Is the idea worth discussing/debating/exploring? If not, leave it. If so, explore it. But this "professor's" opinion is tied to someone else who published as the authority.

All in all, it's a great way to encourage group-think. But then again, so are most academic departments.
TBH I never understood this "it's not physical" subtlety. Last time I checked, the brain was a physical entity with physical processes running around in it.

If it looks like addiction, walks like addiction and quacks like addiction, then it is addiction. And it exists in marijuana users.
The fact that zsh is a parent doesn't necessarily hurt performance. The parent and child can share the stdin fd, and the child could be the only one reading from it.
While it's true that, a priori, there's no reason that ethnic homogeneity should be a prerequisite for a welfare state, this idea is misleading because it supposes that all ethnic groups contribute to the welfare state equally. I know that it's modern dogma that all groups are equal in all respects, but hear me out: what if they're not?

What if, for whatever reason, ethnic group A subsidizes B's existence? This difference will damage the social cohesion necessary for a welfare state to exist. In the real world, we observe huge group differences in productivity, educational attainment, conscientiousness, fecundity, and other characteristics, and in the real world, we see that mixing groups does indeed damage social cohesion. I understand that this observation is unpopular --- but this unpopularity doesn't make it wrong.

I don't think it's politically possible to create a strong welfare state in a country populated by identifiable groups with differing socioeconomic contributions to the common good.

Others have commented that it's the size of the country that makes welfare impossible --- that it just doesn't work over a certain size. As a practical theory, I think that's true, but I don't think size itself is the root cause. I think that as a country's population increases, the visibility of low-contributing groups increases, and it's this visibility that reduces the will to create a global welfare state.
Dentist. I was a software developer for 9 years before dental school. This year I am doing my residency. Last week, I did fillings, root canals, extractions, implants, IV sedations, and seeing medical complex patients in hospital. It felt like it's a dream.
The article doesn't say to stop using `dd` to write disks.

It's just saying that if you have other commands that can read/write files, such as `pv /dev/thing > file.img` (to show a progress bar), you don't have to try to shoe-horn dd into it just because /dev/thing happens to be a drive.
NYC culinary staple China Fun shutters, blaming over-regulation
I guess you are talking about having young children. That can be a rough experience, but it only lasts for a relatively short period. The kids grow up eventually. Deciding not to have kids seems like it focuses on the short term disadvantages, and ignores completely the significance of having children once the parents are over 50 or 60 years old.
"Alexa, order me a new tin foil hat"...

I am happy to be in the majority camp.
Yep. In a lot of these cases, companies knew that X chemicals were really bad for people. But since they're not some academic arm, they most certainly aren't running studies that open them up to liability. It would be the understood 'we know this is deadly, who cares' kind of stuff coming from workers in the organizations.
A small sample does not generalize to a trend.

Identity politics is even worse than this. From what I can see, among people not totally ideologically driven, this discredits the left very much, and liberal values will be caught in the backlash.
I kept looking for a pony in this pile, but I didn't find one. No new facts, ending with a call to, well... non-action or at least no mentioned action, just a hollow call. I can't find the citation, but I've read a much better article this week that pointed out that 75% of Russian GNP is now government authored; that just doesn't fit the kleptocracy narrative of an economy being handed to a private mafia. (Up from less than 40% a decade or more ago.) Which directly contradicts the standard narrative echoed by this fluff article, of private ownership run wild, sucking all the economic activity away from the state toward individual owners. This data point suggests a very different story: that a concerted effort by a group - not a single individual - is being made to reconstruct a Soviet Union 2.0 that works somewhat better than Communism 1.0 and isn't visibly tied to Marxist ideals - communism with lowered expectations, as it were.

> This, thankfully, is being addressed by the addition of value types.

Last I heard (JLS 2016 keynote by Brian Goetz) they have yet to commit/guarantee when value types will land. Java 10 is planned; if they're completed by then we're looking at probably 2020 given the delays with Java 9 release.

That's 3 years for other languages/platforms to evolve while the JVM unboxes itself.
If impossibility was a foregone conclusion, why try it in the first place? I appluad them for doing the study in this place.
The EU has actual laws about things like paid time off, wages, and health-care though. Oh, and privacy, and human rights. And it has parliamentary systems that represent people more than the current American system.

I agree with the article that we ought to be able to impose some useful minimums in the USA, just like in the EU.
As a Man Thinketh
Were your grades corrected with the added information?

I think grading matrixes would be well served it they assess the writing ability of the person. That is, how well can they justify their opinion with quotes and sources, rather than what the interpretation outcome itself.
I was making software for Nokia phones when the first iPhone came out. As an outsider, it seemed to me that they realised iPhones were going to be the future, went full panic-mode and never recovered. N96 was already dead by the time it came out and N97 seemed like something cobbled together in a hurry. Released version had none of the screen animations/interactions they were hoping and overall was quite laggy in my opinion. After that they were basically just poking around on every possible direction.
I would argue that at least in the US the people who call themselves conservative are not really conservative. They are hard right wing ideologues. What they did right was to raise the abortion issue so a lot of people vote for them no matter what else they say. Their positions on climate change , the environment, health care and economics (more tax cuts for the highest incomes) are simply not accessible to rational investigation. I have never heard anything coming from the Republicans party that would indicate deep thoughts about these issues. Either they don't want to hear about it (climate change) or they flat out lie (health care in other countries).

I bet a lot of people who used to be called conservative are now called liberal because the Republicans have moved so far to the right .
Can you give any examples of philosophical ideas proved experimentally?
By forcing producers underground rather than regulating their wares, WOD in practice pushed markets towards the worst possible products and the most harmful situations. We have entire bureaucracies dedicated to ensuring the food you eat is not harmful to you, balancing the profit motive with considerations regarding public health (which become more and more precise as science advances); imagine if all that was taken away - how many people would die or suffer from terrible food, even more than they do now? This is what the drug market has been like for more than 40 years. People got damaged by shit product devised by criminals to maximize their profit. And that's the WOD's fault, entirely.
I had a N9 and I loved it. The user experience of MeeGo was just awesome and very innovative! Choosing Windows phone over MeeGo was definitely a mistake.
In my opinion Windows phone doesn't have a chance against Android and iOS as it doesn't offer something that makes people think "omg that's so cool, I gotta have that". I guess quite a few people would have thought that if the N9 hadn't been dropped so fast and if they'd had a chance to play with the N9.
I dislike Trump and voted for Clinton obviously. I'm sad they won. But why should I be surprised that the right-leaning half of the US voted for the Republican candidate?

c++ has constexpr for this. a constexpr expression will be evaluated at compile time if the result is used in a constant expression (i.e. assignd to an enum constant or a constexpr variable), or an error will be generated if it is not possible to do so (the expression does not fulfill the requirements to be constexpr).
Who's got that massive amount of data nowadays? Everybody who wants it.

I recommend http://opus.lingfil.uu.se/ as a starting point to find lots of sources of quality, multilingual data.

And if all you want is sheer quantity, at rather the expense of quality, then there's a several terabyte Web crawl at http://commoncrawl.org/.
Could this be a reason people don't trust "experts" any more?

"According to the Global Rich List, a website that brings awareness to worldwide income disparities, an income of $32,400 a year will allow you to make the cut. Using current exchange rates, that amounts to roughly:

29,185 euros
2.2 million Indian rupees, or
211,126 Chinese yuan

So if you’re an accountant, a registered nurse or even an elementary school teacher, congratulations. The average wage for any of these careers falls well within the top 1% worldwide."
ddrescue and gddrescue also have restartable mode for failing drives, very very handy feature.

I've recovered numerous otherwise unmountable Mac/Windows drives using ddrescue, mmls, sleuthkit, and foremost.

Usually I'm able to lsblk to determine the block device, rip the data partition with ddrescue and mount it loopback with mount once I use mmls to confirm the partition type.

For Mac volumes that dont mount, either fsck.hfsplus or get the file to a Mac to run diskwarrior (Alsoft has been repairing HFS volumes for a couple decades).

If nothing else works once you've got the raw bits saved, foremost will usually scrape something worthwhile off your image file.

They need more decimal points to explain it
I have very negative opinions of conservative ideology because, having been inculcated in it and having refined my ability to think enough that I was able to reject my priors and escape from it--well, I feel like I damned well should, it's hard to find something misleading and epistemically dangerous and not feel "negative" about it.

On the other hand, I am mostly sympathetic towards conservative people. Most have been sold a bill of goods and were never fortunate enough to stumble across, or have delivered unto them, the structural education necessary to evaluate it one way or another. (This includes functionally-trade-schooled "engineers". The best thing that ever happened to me in my fundamental learning was having to take economics, philosophy, and sociology classes. The idea that a "Bachelor's of Science" can be granted with only minimal exposure to the humanities is near-criminal.)

Where my sympathy fails is when the proponents of that ideology wish to use it to harm other people. That is the chilly response that conservatism gets in academia and it must not be ignored: when you are the self-appointed standard-bearer of a worldview where women, gays, and minorities are second-class citizens, when you are the representative of a worldview that wants fewer people to be able to vote so you can win, when "root, hog or die" is accompanied by no end of policies to ensure that Those People don't get that middle option and only sometimes get the first--of course people are going to react poorly to you. Don't actively shit on other people and they won't shit on you back.
I'd say it reads pretty well. I didn't notice the atypical punctuation until I read your comment.
> Really? Why actors?

Probably because Common Lisp is already on a similar level of being data-centric, so it would be redundant to talk about it. Actually, the only difference between how Clojure and CL treat data is that (while both offer access to both kinds of data) Clojure strongly prefers immutable values, while CL doesn't care.
