I know zilch about biology or medicine but my impression is that in biology even A->B doesn't imply A->B half the time. Like you might do a large study and find that people get obese after consuming fat, only to later find that if you do the same with a different group of people, that doesn't happen. (Exaggerating with an example here, not actually claiming this particular example is true. Just trying to illustrate my impression of what a lot of things in the field are like.)
Well, shit. Bye, hackers ;P
Best way is to see it in action and experiment. A few videos I made (b and c relate to common queries written for BI or CLTV stuff).

a) row_number over() and partition: in the abstract: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X3eIyZV728

b) applied to customer value analysis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHxJvF0tZOA

c) applied to time differences (also uses materials from b above) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f8tF4U70Ic

After a while you can write these from scratch and they generally work the 1st or 2nd time, but it takes lots of trial and error at first when setting up the partition and ordering clause within the OVER() expression.

>is it really that important for a non-emacs client to support 100% of org's features?

No. Even babel's not really necessary.

But even implementing a broad subset might be hard. However, there is already rudimentary support for the org format outside org, so it may not be that bad.
With coffee, what is extracted first tastes different from what you extract at the end.

There are different compounds extracted at different times.

In espresso, a ristretto shot is a espresso that's been pulled short. Meaning that it has the same volume of coffee but less water. Around half the water.

Ristretto shots tend to be less bitter and bolder. It's more concentrated.

>All the moonshot ventures were long term shots at innovation. Now the CFO has looked at them with an eye towards short term profits and most did not pass the test. Too bad, wall street is happy with Google and the stock price will certainly improve but at the cost of long term benefits for all.

Not just that: at the cost of betraying the people who joined Google when their "moonshot" companies were acquired. Once upon a time, one grim CFO didn't have the power to reap so many projects.

Founders should exercise more caution before selling good projects to Alphabet to die.
Love it so far! I'm going to play around with hosting my own server, looks like the current one is here? https://github.com/standardfile/ruby-server/tree/master

A couple things that could be useful:
1. Add version tags to the git repo, that way I don't have to wonder what's changed between deploys
2. Official standard notes docker image or dockerfile in repo
3. CloudFormation or Terraform template link in the README would really sweet.

Actually... If I can finish up the work I'm actually supposed to be doing I can send you some of this stuff later...

Noticed you're using AWS. Everything looks great, but now that you're getting serious traffic you may want to pre-emptively sign up for business support (if you haven't already), I noticed they give you a free month for the "self-starter" startup pack: https://aws.amazon.com/activate/self-starters/ . I used to work for AWS Support, I'm not affiliated any more, but there is a huge difference in response times, also the chat and phone call options are much faster, and you can really ask about anything not just specific problems (architecture guidance, best practices).

Nice article. I think he's underestimating the failure on the sales team. They needed to find the intersection of Oracle customers and customers that needed the unique OLTP features of their product. I would have tried to bring an ex-Oracle guy on, for example, someone who's sold into finance or healthcare.
Thanks to Salve for writing an incredible retrospective. One thing I'd be curious to hear is whether the RethinkDB team feels they could have create the tool and potentially the company without taking on venture capital/investors (similar to PostgresSQL, which I don't think has taken on vc).
In lisp eval does not take a string as its input, but a form, i.e. a linked list, containing the program to execute. Maybe you confuse it with JavaScript or Python eval (or the like) where the function both reads in a string and runs the program it parsed from that string. There are diverse functions to convert a string to a symbol in different lisps.
If humans were removed from the equation, we could accurately model the economy and climate (to a reasonable degree). Human randomness adds too much entropy to the system to accurately model it.

> Changing a dietary recommendation

What if the original dietary recommendation lacked iron-clad evidence?
"This is insane."

No, it's the opposite.

"An owner of a property not subject to rent control should be free to raise rent to any amount."

That "should" reflects the morality of a sociopath.

"The argument that "Look, you can increase the rent to market rate, but you can’t raise it way above market rate" is completely insane."

No, it's the opposite.

"If I want to charge you $900,000 per second to rent my house, I am free to"

Not in a rational society that doesn't cater to sociopaths. Also, that's a strawman that doesn't relate to the situation in the article.
And you think you could use that free time to sort through thousands of pages of classified documents without your fellow soldiers or your superiors knowing? Time isn't the only relevant resource.

Maybe I'm an asshole, but the "put lives at risk" line seems like nationalistic swill. Even if it risked American combatants, why should that justify hiding the deaths of possibly fifteen thousand Iraqi civilians?

I've recently tried GIMP after reading about an update on Hacker News (not this one) and it was an absolute disaster - took forever to start, nothing worked, UI was glitchy, and then I accidentally quit it because I didn't know what the empty, floating window was good for.

It's a pity that Gtk apps usually don't really work on macOS, it makes it much more unlikely for us Apple users to contribute on GitHub etc. :( I'd much prefer a native cross-platform toolkit to the web-based stuff that's popular now.

Excellent reflection, I think he forgot the 'elephant' in the room. Whenever I wanted to choose between Nosql solution, I always come back to Postgresql, just enough to fit my limited usecases.
I'm also interested to hear what the future, if any, looks like for RethinkDB. Would also be very curious to explore what can be done regarding the IP/licensing as part of that future (agree with the concerns mentioned here).
I'm not familiar with ChatSecure, but from what I can tell:

It ChatSecure is an XMPP client; XMPP being an open federated protocol.

Signal uses Google infrastructure; while this isn't an issue for security purposes (because everything is encrypted), some people don't like it, some people like to run their own servers. With a "centralized" protocol like Signal, running your own server means you are cut off from everyone on the main server; with a "federated" protocol like XMPP your server can communicate with the other servers, so you can chat with users on other servers.

The innovation with ChatSecure over other XMPP clients is that it has implemented an XMPP extension (XMPP is an extensible protocol) called "OMEMO" that implements encryption, by borrowing substantially from the Signal protocol. This is an improvement over OTR, the status-quo way of doing encrypted XMPP, which the linked page explains was designed around desktop usage and doesn't work well with phones.
No one said it was easy. But, sometimes - if you're not too depressed - if you manage enough of these enough of the time (possibly with the help of a good friend nagging you) you can get enough of a feedback loop going to self-sustain and maintain a healthy living pattern long enough to sink in.
Thanks Ethan! Would you mind updating the post with more instructions on using heroku or a way to host the json? I was trying to dump the generated json into S3 and point jasonette to the URL, but that doesn't work because the submit action still points to localhost. Any thoughts?
I read GEB a few years ago, and it struck me as a book full of ideas that would have transformed me had I been encountering them for the first time. I think the book may have been so influential that its big ideas had largely filtered out into places where I'd encountered them. If I'd read it at 19, say, I think it would have rocked my world.

Note that I'm mostly talking about the book's first half (about incompleteness and canons and whatnot). The second half (ants, etc) struck me as much more dated.

Data derived from non linear inputs.

That is to say problems that can't be expressed by linear functions.

I.e. Y= mx + B is a linear function.

Y= ax^2 + bx + C is a polynomial (non linear) function.

Linear Programming (LP) involves solving a series of linear equations (something like Excel's Solver can do this).

When you are dealing with non linear functions you need to use a method such as Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP).

Politicizing an engineering problem always fails, but this time I can't wait to buy these batteries on ebay sold as refurbished, when the politicians and executives come to the realization the project won't meet their expectations -- because the battery technology just isn't there yet, and they have to switch back to diesel generators. Like the ones we've been using since the 1930s (even before that) to deal with problems like this.

If we're going by the traditional idea of "bytecode interpreter" or "threaded interpreter", clojure is emphatically not one of them. It JIT compiles the lisp to JVM bytecode; the equivalent in Pixie would be JIT compiling to native code.

IIRC with RPython/pypy the two techniques are interleaved, but most users I've seen opt for some JIT optimization.

This can break things (at compile time, unless you errantly mark something with an OVERLAPS pragma), which is why it's recommended that instances live where the type is defined or where the typeclass is defined. Instances defined elsewhere are known as "orphan instances", and trigger a warning (which you can disable) in GHC.

Edited to add: Note that the above applies mostly to libraries. There's not really a downside to defining orphan instances in an application so long as you guarantee consistency (and the best way to do that, IME, is to put all your orphans in one place, with only that file marked -fno-warn-orphans).

I'm saying the same thing you are. Maybe I could have been more clear, but I was trying to avoid the nitty gritty tech details. Like you said, it's misguided at best and an excuse at worse. I'm asserting that it's an excuse, because it is done in a way to keep users on google for very little benefit to the user while causing very real problems for users.
Well, "they just didn't know," is different than, "they were directly warned and didn't listen because they though they knew better." In the latter case, working all weekend to fix the mistake isn't necessarily praise-worthy.

Really? You think OKRs aren't nonsense?

Anytime you set an indirect measure of success, system-manipulators will focus on the metric instead of what that metric was supposed to measure. My experience with OKRs is that teams and individuals with OKRs will:

A) Game the system. (For example, at Zynga, one team set an OKR to "examine frameworks for such and such," since implementation wasn't part of the OKR there's no way to argue they didn't examine). Individuals will be incentivized to pick OKRs that seem hard but are actually easy.

B) Disincentivize proper behavior. Engineers are valuable because they are not robots. They are thinking, evaluating, reacting people. The best engineers aren't those who meet your expectations, they're the ones who upset your expectations by inventing a side project like gmail that becomes a portion of your entire company. Valuable engineering can take many forms (assisting others, preventing security holes, cheering up cynical colleagues, standing up against bad decisions), and almost none of them can be directly measured.
> No, the correct way to do this is to use the individual's pronouns.

No, the correct way to do this is to use the correct pronouns, at least in the third person. One might refer to someone who believes he is Napoleon to his face as 'Your Majesty,' in order not to cause mental distress, but one is under no compunction to refer to him in the third person as 'His Majesty.' Likewise, no-one is under any compunction to refer to a man who believes that he is a woman in the feminine third person (although, in languages which have gendered second persons, it might be kind to use it face-to-face, again in order to avoid mental distress).
No, a Pixar co-founder invented it well before Pixar existed.

Why did you dishonestly call it a nitpick, rather than the essential point that it is?

> Your point merely buttresses my point

Um, no. That's a ridiculous dishonest claim.

> which is that 400k is far more than can and should be reasonably expected.

No, the whole point of the "nitpick" is that this is false. The landlord quite reasonably expected to pay more if he were to go to court. There's a good reason for this expectation: because the landlord intentionally violated the law for their own gain at the expense of the interests of the tenant. The landlord is a bad bad person who did a bad bad thing, and should be treated accordingly.

After being a heavy SimpleNote user I finally migrated to Onenote. Simplenote is excellent for basic notetaking but having used Onenote I'm spoiled by it's ability to search within images. This is a lifesaver if you have to quickly search for a scanned receipt or a screenshot.
Not great! Plenty of vacancies for BAs and junior BAs alike, but they all stipulate experience. I've been looking for graduate BA vacancies, but - outside of London - they're few and far between. A few BA roles are also quite heavy on the numerate side of things, which I have to cast aside.

Aside from SQL, I've got UML and Visio on my to-do list. There's also the BABOK reference, but it sounds like it's something that only really starts to make sense when you have something to apply it to and observe.
1Password IGNORE Great china market？
"1Password for Android is distributed through Google’s Play Store and it includes an optional in-app purchase called the Pro Features that is processed through Google’s Play Services. Because of this requirement, our app is considered as a paid application and is not available to download in countries where paid apps are not supported by Google’s Play Store."
"We do not host the APK file on our servers because of a couple of important reasons. 1Password for Android uses Google Play services for many operations within the app like processing the in-app purchase, crash reports, and the QR code scanner when you sign in to an account. It would also require you to manually manage updates if we hosted the apk, so you would need to find out if a new update is available on our site, then go to our website to download the latest APK to install it. One of the other big reasons is that unknown sources needs to be enabled on your device to install anything outside the Play Store, and it's disabled by default for good reasons."

I dont need or want the touch bar. It felt as a double input UX crash with the touchpad on laptop. What happen to the Apple that only wanted single button mouse.

And I cant justify the price hike just because of the touch bar. Although form factor is also at play here, but i felt i would actually want a thicker Macbook Pro just for the Keyboard.

The Three Machines
Perhaps i'm rusty.

in this case

(funcall #'+ 1 2 3)

or the more scheme-ish

(apply '+ '(1 2 3))

i think the symbol plus gets evaluated to #<function+> and then is called with 1 2 3 - CL will do apply, of course, not sure about scheme and funcall. I'm totally willing to accept my mental model is wrong, i don't have an interpreter handy.

So if that's true, you run into this problem:

(funcall (string->symbol "+") 1 2 3)
(apply (string->symbol "+") '(1 2 3))

maybe string->symbol does not introduce in to the function namespace, but i bet there's a way or a flag to do it.

so anyway, at the end, you run into this problem:

(funcall (string->symbol "any-random-function") 1 2 3)
(apply (string->symbol "any-random-function") '(1 2 3))

this makes tree shaking hard.

you could, of course, look for the handful of ways to bind symbols to functions, maybe do constant folding and include a minimal set if the compiler can prove what's actually needed.

but in general i think tree shaking is hard when you can load things like that dynamically.
