Anyway, GIMP is getting faster - with 2.9 you can already use GPU accelerated operations and plugins, if that is your concern.

What you don't want is a program that crashes all the time, or one that is so convoluted (because "performance"), that nobody is able to develop it further, since nobody can wrap his head around of all the implication of a modification.

Ask HN: Best Hosting and Syncing Option for Static Generated Site?
What's everyone using to host and sync their generated static sites? Sounds like a simple problem, but it has its complexities.

For example, I've been testing GitLab hosting for my Hugo-generated sites, but ran into domain troubles that I couldn't resolve - and the 5-10 minute build time wait for larger sites was an issue too.

I'm also looking at Google Cloud Storage, but having to delete and reupload the entire site (which I believe is the recommended approach when rebuilding a Hugo site?) is a fairly serious timesink for a large site.

What are you all using as a deployment process?
Surely, the sitcom you meant is the big bang theory. The modern minstrel show with geek chic instead of blackface.
Hm, I might be remembering wrong or mixing it up with details from various forums, but I thought it mentioned the FPGA version capable of pushing several mb/s through the controller ports.

Against the odds, that was a good read.

As a 10-14 year old, when I watched it, I liked Friends. I don't know that I've seen an episode in the past 20 years. I cringe at the thought of it now.

I certainly never noticed the motif of Ross as the intellectual victim of a Greek tragedy. But in retrospect, it sounds about right.

I think the chances are much better that this TV sitcom triggered the downfall of the western evening TV lineup than all of civilization, though. :-)

Definitely do whatever you think is easier in your workflow. Not everyone uses lodash, but I know a lot of people that prefer to do mapping / filtering of JSON in an actual programming language. That doesn't make one way better or worse than another. 2 ways of accomplishing the same thing.

Not sure what the point about consistency has to do with anything? What if it's an array of consistent, but large objects?

I find I need to examine a full page of JSON quite frequently. I.e. there's some bug, and I need to check for any occurrences of null for a specific property.

You're pretty lucky to have never been in a position where you could be misconstrued as speaking for your employer, regardless of who they are. The Internet has basically neutralized the PR departments of any organization, governmental or otherwise, that wishes to control a message.

That is not PC, it's protocol. That disclaimer could also have referred to his time at Google - he, personally, thought shutting down Google Reader was a bad idea, but Google, as a corporation, clearly did not, so his statement does not represent Google.

I started climbing, and consider it the most practical exercise:

It's less boring than regular gyms, so requires less will power - climbs are actually puzzles, hence there is an intellectual effort in technique. It also helps gauge progress wrt difficulty levels.

It also requires less willpower to push yourself, due to the innate fear of falling.

It strengthens the chest and arms, which is what most men want, cosmetically.

It's strengthens the arms and hands, so (IMHO) is more practical day-to-day, since I think humans use their hands a lot more, ever since the advent of tools.

It doesn't take too much time - you very quickly run out of strength, so there is not as much second-guessing yourself wrt how long you can continue.

It's a community sport. It's best to take rests, during which time you can watch others climb, and compete for progress.

you can load up a billion records with half that RAM but the most important part is the type of queries you want to run. in most cases even the most complex select queries are okay (as longh as you're not running 100+ in parallel). if you are running a lot of inserts/updates, you'll probably run into issues. but selects are fairly trivial as long as you have the space.

> it's not obvious that your `close()` method will take ownership of `self`

I'm in the middle of reading the Rust book right now, so this may be dumb, but... Isn't this exactly the point of using a naked `self` instead of the reference `&self`? If it's not a reference, `self` is consumed by the method. At least that's my current understanding

If you mean that the one-character difference is very small for such an important semantic distinction, I might agree.

As for the state machine example, I like it a lot as well. It's very similar to the idea of "making illegal states unrepresentable" from the OCaml world: http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/designing-with-types-...

It's worse that that, since you need to declare the variable as well. It's the "var n int" piece that bugs me, since sometimes you're moving code around and have a n := trueVal hidden in there.

} else {
n = falseVal

There are genres of video games much more deserving of strict regulation than "brain-training" games which may or may not be backed by science.

Way too many mobile games I've played function like casinos. Their goal is to make players spend as much money as possible and the game design reinforces such behavior and also keeps the player coming back like an addict attempting to avoid the negative symptoms of withdrawal.

When it comes to the safety of players, I think these money sinks are a much bigger concern than games that may or may not enhance cognitive abilities.

Actual question: are google services not apps that run on android similar to other apps, within confined environments?
IMHO, what hurt western civilization the most is reality shows like Big Brothers,Survivor, Jackass, Celebrity show X or Z. Somehow these shows reward narcissism, individualism, greed, anti-social behavior, sexual, moral harassment and exploitation.

When MTV started to broadcast Jackass I knew a paradigm shift had happened.

People like to blame anything sort of things for our decline, but for me broadcasting that crap and accepting it as moral absolutely shaped the modern west.

Friends was just a funny sitcom that actually talked about friendship which is something positive, no matter how bad it handled that theme.
Wouldn't this constitute a serious breach of confidentiality?
I think (3) is a very important and debatable point.

Important because, as you mentioned, there is a very large difference in marginal propensity to consume between 'hand-to-mouth' consumers and savers - this affects the velocity of money and GDP. Debatable because at the zero-lower bound, how much effect the Fed really have is very much in question (see: excess reserves at https://goo.gl/NQG2O5).

I personally would disagree - money funneled to creditors rather than in the hands of consumers is more harmful to the economy than the reverse, but is that money passed to capitalists (low consumption) or used for business investment (high investment)? That being said, consumption is about 70% of GDP.
The world might be pure behind the scenes, but it stubbornly presents an imperative interface, and refuses to present a pure one where old values would stay accessible forever. That has major implications for computing.
It is well understood by those of us who are more literate in these things that a bikeshed should have a combination of transparent windshield walls and solid green roof.

I think what I was trying to say is that not all monads are equal.
While the List or Maybe Monad or a JSON validation applicative builder brings me instant value (composition, no nulls, accumulation of error and composition again) I always scratch my head when looking at the IO monad. But maybe that's because I mostly use scala, where Futures are used a lot and they cover 90% of my IO usage.

In the case of Elm, what I dislike is that everything ends up being a Task/Side Effect/IO. Even asking for a value to a Javascript Money library. That, to me is an unacceptable tradeoff.

Running a budget surplus doesn't mean that money is destroyed. Also, the claim that the Euro-zone needs deficits is a highly contentious point, and not at all obvious or a consensus. Asserting it rather than arguing it does a disservice to the subtleties.

Sure, Haskell and Lisp (and APL and any other language you care to mention) is used somewhere, in some Fortune 1000 company, but that's a far cry from having gotten a major hold.

Oh wow, this is interesting timing. I'm actually writing a fantasy game for Slack using their bot interface, and a lot of the lessons described here are things I picked up as well while showing to friends.
