Don't bother visiting a community if you can't make the effort to adjust to its values and culture -- Stack Overflow doesn't care about answering poor questions with no long-term value (this isn't a debugging forum).

Take some time to elaborate on your question and flesh it out so that other people might benefit from it later.
Are you sure? The non-competes about working for a competitor is un-enforceable, but what about the ones that ban directly approaching former colleagues?
I disagree. Without the final note, he is simply reporting facts.
I should add "don't check HN too often" to myself.

Out of curiosity, what keeps you there?
I have a lot of similar ideas. The one constant problem I keep running into is the amount of work it would be to get power to all those devices. I'd absolutely love if it were possible to power + network all the devices via PoE, but those adapters are so expensive.

If anyone knows of a good Pi-like board that runs off PoE out of the box, let me know.
My understanding of what makecheck is talking about is a more personalized sort of classification, though.
I haven't used Spark, but it seems from what I see that this aspect of the product just classifies a few generic types of emails that everyone receives.
However; I don't think Spark learns to classifies emails that only I receive. Like I always instantly delete emails from Debby in marketing about upcoming customer engagement sessions.
If you could create your own category, and add new emails to that category and once you have a statistically relevant number, ML could start classifying that stuff.

On the other hand, who needs ML when you can just set up a filter to automatically delete emails from Debby with the word "Customer Engagement" in the title.
The mechanism doesn't really matter. Perhaps these drugs simply do make people feel good and consequently they perform better. In the end it still increases their performance on these tasks.
Interesting, and extremely sad... :-/

Anyone familiar with how this compares to react-router? I hear they are adding react native support.

https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router
yes i would say that is correct. oracle (we) make most of our money from the fortune 500, and specifically oracle database SUPPORT CONTRACTS from those companies

since then we have not been too good at innovating, so we buy companies technology + customersfor the explicit purpose of soaking up as much of their existing revenue as we can, to pad the falling sales of our databases, hw etc

then, inevitably, after we have abused our relationship with those customers and the sales reps on those accounts, we... buy more companies and start the process all over again (see netsuite), rather than fixing the abuse (see hyperion, peoplesoft, jdedwards)
At the same time, though, fighting a lawsuit is death to most startups. It'd still have the same consequences, even if Tesla loses here.
There are allot of uniformed assumptions being made here...

You don't know the quality of my questions and the degree of my contributions...and you never will. What most people do know is that Stack Overflow is a shit show in decline.
We fixed a lot of bugs while working on the new generics features in Swift 3.1 (and also recursive protocol constraints, which didn't quite make it in but a lot of the plumbing was done for it).

For example, in practicalswift's fuzzer collection, 260 cases were fixed between 3.0 and 3.1, for a total of 5426 fixed (with 39 still open).
Worse yet, he expects both.

You still trust the cloud providers' upstream. In case of UK providers, the GCHQ sniffs upstream and ingress, so they can correlate traffic. Same for DE (BND, MAD) and basically all countries.

I've always seen some close parallels between Peirce's approach to logic and Dijkstra's approach to program construction. Both start with an "empty" object and then transform it according to simple rules until the finished product satisfies some chosen set of predicates.

But most everyone here knows Dijkstra, so I'm mostly just replying to thank you for bringing up Peirce. He's wildly under acknowledged and more importantly under-appreciated. Truly an American genius.
There were some improvements to type inference with closures in 3.1. Do you have example snippets that are giving you trouble?

Radiation poisoning? Seems to be a Russian favorite means of asssassination in the last decade or so, in fact Edit actually I didn’t realize Litvinenko was the same famous case I considered part of a bigger trend and I don’t see other cases after a quick Google. Disregard my comment, with my apologies. I thought I remembered a larger pattern. That said, more generic poisoning does seem to be a pattern: https://www.google.com/amp/s/timeline.com/amp/p/4256eafcd76c

> The original Al-Qaida (every major member is now dead) which planned 9/11 actually didn't feel left behind at all. They were trying to fight change and westernization.

Go read the Wikipedia article about 9/11, they were fighting against the US attacks on Muslims, their influence on local politics, and their support of Israel. Why do people think it takes more than that?
Dunno, lemme give it a shot:

First off, if a compromise can be found, that could solve the problem instantly - for example, if instead of abortion, a fetus could be removed and implanted safely in another woman, or in a laboratory, and brought to term, and there was a legal apparatus in place to ensure the child received care, that could eliminate the "killing" aspect of an abortion while preventing a woman from being forced to keep a rape-induced pregnancy to term.

That doesn't exist yet though, so, lemme try this, though I feel very dirty doing so:

If abortion is murder, then there's no legal justification in carrying it out because one is a victim of a crime, even if the abortion is a "solution" to one of the long-term effects of that crime (the rape). Just as one is not allowed to steal to replace stolen goods, one should not be allowed to "murder" an unborn child in response to a rape.

Well, you're not wrong, it's a pretty hard argument to make without bringing religion in.
Yes, classical propositional logic can be given a constructive interpretation using call-with-current-continuation. This was first worked out by Timothy Griffin [1], and there is a cute story by Philip Wadler about making a deal with the devil [2, section 4].

It's pretty ballsy to use a company laptop, on company time, at a company office to do work for a competitor (which is essentially what the suit is alleging).

My guess is that if he was more circumspect in this - waiting until he quit, working on it after hours on a personal computer, etc - Tesla would not be suing him over this (if the allegations are true). It's rare to see lawsuits over these things if all of the activity is taken after the employee has quit.
Juicebox is a great way to share your music with others. You can create rooms, add songs, and share the URL with others, and they will be synced to the same song as you when they join. It's built on React, Node.js, and Firebase. I've been working on this for fun for the past few months, and I'm hoping to hear some feedback from the HN community.

Thanks for checking it out!
"Reversion to the mean" is the process where later data is more typical than an outlying datum, so aberrations caused by outliers are averaged out, giving a result progressively closer to the mean of the data as subsequent data is added.
I have no problem with "proofs are programs", only with "programs are proofs", and I think that most of theoretical computer science refuses, almost on principle, to view computation merely as programs expressed in any particular formalism, just as physicists would say that a certain ODE is a description of a falling apple, not that a falling apple is an ODE, nor that an apple can only fall if we can describe it in some formalism.

See the discussion here about realizers vs proofs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13495547. Perhaps you can shed more light on the subject. Harper's post is interesting, but while it does offer less narrow a view than Wadler's using a different definition of proof (which I don't think deserves the name proof, but nevermind), it is still too narrow a definition of computation (and his introduction of types seems to muddy the water and complicate matters further, partly because the use of types necessitates yet another computation, because types are certificates). Computation is a wider notion than constructive mathematics (as every construction is a computation but not every computation is a construction, and two different computations can yield the same construct).

As to the choice of a foundation of mathematics, I think this is largely an aesthetic matter. It is certainly a separate discussion from computation in the sense that computation does not depend on the choice of mathematical foundation, nor that the choice of mathematical foundation must be built around the notion of computation. I like Turing's view that there are no privileged foundations, and a mathematical formalism should be chosen based on utility, on a case-by-case basis.

People come up with a lot of rationalizations for being opposed to artificial self-enhancement. But most don't apply the same standards to "natural" self-enhancement, even when we know that there are severe tradeoffs.

In particular, people overly discount the value of life-seconds. What is the opportunity cost of putting in however many extra hours it would take to practicing chess, in order to account for the benefit of using modafinil? Is that cost outweighed by the small risk that there's some hidden deleterious effect of modafinil which has somehow eluded scientists for thirty years? And even if so, why should we police individual choices of what risks to take in life?

After all, we know that baseball pitchers are at extremely high risk for shoulder injuries. Should we enforce rules that limit practice time, intensity, and technique, so that other pitchers don't have to risk their bodies to compete? Should we put an asterisk next to the names of pitchers who are found to violate those rules, and kick them out of the sport?

That seems, broadly speaking, not to be the kind of choice we've made as a society when it comes to "old-fashioned" self enhancement. Yet we do make that choice when it comes to "artificial" enhancement. I put it to you that the distinction is arbitrary.

Edit: Just one other thing: "mind-altering substance the users of which appear to experience no negative effects and major improvements in their functioning"

That very nearly describes modafinil for most people. (If you're going to say "all people", you've set the bar so high that no drug will ever reach it. Ibuprofen doesn't even meet that bar.)
Exactly the opposite experience for me.

I think you're probably right. I don't really have concentration problems in the first place, but in small doses, I feel like I can focus a bit better on a single thing. Too much and my brain still works but I tend to go off on a tangent, then proceed to get completely lost in thought. Also, too much means a lot of my time is consumed eating or looking for food.
It's called a budget review. It's Congress's job to do this, not the Administration. And it seems like a total waste of time compared to all of the other more important issues the Administration should be covering, IMO.
"They didn't want to see Niagara Falls"

But they did see it and then they had to run off to the next thing they needed to see. They just didn't have time to soak up the view and wait. There was something else waiting for them, a cab, a dinner, a flight, a job, a child, a pet or countless other distractions.

Every time I get to take even a minute to see something I cherish it. Then I have to run off to the next task to do.

I'm not sure I agree with the authors projection of possible motives of those they were observing. There is always danger in assuming you know what is going through someone else's mind.
This is exactly the direction I am moving with my client. Prior to reading about this library I was planning on using the latest version of react-router to do this. See:

I dearly hope the solution involves not installing webhooks on all one's repositories.

Not sure I understand what the webhook is for. (I've not yet installed the app — because of this issue.) Is this done in order to automatically track Github issue changes? If so, what happens if you want to use this app on a project that you don't have admin rights to?

> I think the more important question is what are we spending taxes on? and why does it have to be decided by a bureaucratic monopoly that is above the law a.k.a. government?

This is what elections are for, but obviously they could be done better, and with more granularity of choice (more than two).

> Shouldn't we have a choice in how we allocate our own resources? Is it not our own time and labor that we use to produce? Why does that belong to anyone else?

The government IS you, and everyone else, and you (and everyone else) build your time and labor on a society and infrastructure built by common funds. Anarcho-liberalism is insanely naive and can never work.
I didn't want to wait for a solution that may never come for the webhooks added to 200+ repos of mine/that I have access to, so I hacked this script together.

Generally the well-educated believe it is ethical and moral research, but there's a vast swath of America that believe that it is unethical, either from a misunderstanding of how the research is done, or simply from a total moral objection to the research at all.

Arbitrary example: If you're using SHA256 you're emitting 256bit hashes. Hopefully the distribution of SHA256 outputs is indistinguishable from random (or close enough) or else we've got big problems in other domains.

If you're drawing at random from a pool of size k you need approximately sqrt(k) draws until you reach a ~50% chance of a collision[0].

With 256 bits, there are 2^256 possibilities, so following the rule-of-thumb you'd need 2^128 draws until you had a 50% chance of a collision.

2^128 > # of atoms in the universe.

If you adjust your risk tolerance you'll have different numbers come out, but the chance of a collision in any realistic scenario is negligible.

IQ correlates very well with all sorts of things, including career choice (e.g. physicists have very high IQs) and lifetime earning. By any objective measure, IQ is at the very least a prerequisite for brilliance.

No, they weren't. Apache mod-pagespeed is and has been a completely different effort.
This isn't FUD, this is presenting you with the other side of the coin, what you are losing, what you are risking, from first hand and second hand experience ( I happened to escape the treadmill, but friends of mine didn't get that lucky...). I never denied the enhancements, only their magnitude. And I think they are not worth the risks. Others think they are.

IQ is not boosted much by intensive education, especially in adults. Intensive education can raise IQs during childhood, but by the time these children mature into adults, their IQs are roughly where you'd expect by extrapolating from demographic factors.

Education is a prerequisite for making best use of one's intellect. Do you propose witholding education from boys so that adult outcomes are more equal?
I couldn't agree more. You said it perfectly. The federal offices and state offices, all that stuff is easy. The hard work, and where the opportunity is, is figuring out the obscure Water Districts, Port Commissions, and similar positions. Very winnable, and they create momentum.

Step into any university Chemistry or Engineering building and it becomes very clear that the only reason the USA is still at the forefront of scientific advancement is because it has still convinced the highly educated of other nations that this is the place to be.

Remove the desire for the Chinese, Indian, and Russian engineers to try to study and work here, and you remove the USA's competitive advantage, and you give back all that talent straight to the USA's biggest competitors.

For those interested: over here in China (specifically Shanghai) is a massive bike sharing war being fought, where the two largest incumbents have been given well over $200m in investment money over the last year. The leading brands are Mobike and Ofo, with around 4 other small competitors creeping in.

Mobike was started by an ex-Uber China manager, launched in Shanghai - whereas Ofo had been developed as a bike sharing scheme in universities.

Mobike has GPS enabled, QR unlocked bicycles. Where as Ofo are not GPS enabled and are unlocked with a simple analogue pin code bike lock.

>IQ tests only measure one's ability to perform IQ tests, are widely criticized as flawed indicators of performance and are at best tangentially related to what most of us would describe as genius or brilliance.

So first of all, max("a", "b") expands to max<const char*>("a", "b"). It computes the maximum of two pointers, without looking at the characters at all. Comparing two pointers to unrelated objects is unspecified behavior, but in this case it usually returns the second pointer.

As for max<string>("a", "b"), it implicitly converts both arguments into temporary strings, then returns a const reference to one of them. Since it's a reference to a temporary, it becomes dangling when max returns, but you can assign it to a const string& anyway. When you try to access it, you'll get garbage or crash.

You mentioned people's "ability to problem solve", and that it "takes forever to find people that can do the job". This is very interesting. How do you measure "problem solving ability" in your applicant pool when all you have are resumes? Do you simply look for points on the resume which reflect positive improvement? Do you have more than just a resume to base your judgement off of?

E.g. consider these two similar points on a resume: "improved loading times tenfold by using compound indexes and denormalization" would reflect an improvement from a problematic situation to a better situation. Whereas "designed schema and implemented indexed database" does not explicitly name a problem and its solution.

I hope my point makes sense, and I am wondering if little differences in the wording make a big impact in how you perceive someone's ability to identify and solve problems.
Wayland fixes this. Try it with Fedora 25 - most Gnome apps scale seamlessly.
