A few recommendations on this, since at where I work a talk is organized on this very topic today.

1. A great book that covers multiple paradigms of programming is Roy and Haridi's "Concepts, Techniques and Models of Computer Programming" https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/concepts-techniques-and-model... . This stands hand in hand with the better known SICP.

2. Folks in the CS and programming world seem to ignore bleeding edge work being done in the arts space. To get a broader view of languages than "characters that go into a plain text file", expose yourself to the live-ness of the following -

2.ø Smalltalk - one of the first fully available language and runtime that is still usable today.

2.a Max/MSP/Jitter - by David Zicrelli and Millet Pickette's - Visual data flow programming language with decades of dominance in the Computer Music scene.

2.b SuperCollider - for architecture lessons as well as another multi-paradigm language.

2.c Impromptu - a Scheme based live coding environment for music and visuals by Andrew Sorenson. Normal REPLs will bow in front of most "live coding" languages used for music.

2.d Ixilang by Thor Magnusson - another live coding language, where the language is in a sense inseparable from its run time environment. The current running behaviour of a textual program could also depend on how the program evolved.

In short, break out of normal modes of thinking and attain Turing nature, at which point you can proclaim that all languages have Turing nature and yet retain your discriminating view.
So this launches kvm machines instead of containers?
Take the original statement "Everything they do is a preservation of differentiation of the American version of the caste system." If that were really true in the absolute sense it was presented, Lincoln would not have freed the slaves, not even as a side-effect. It's fair to point that out as a counter-example when the original argument was so stark and black-and-white.
"In 2016, Netflix spent $5 billion on original programming. Netflix plans to spend $6 billion creating 1000 hours of new content this year, more than doubling its 2016 lineup."
That's a little bit worrying : double the content, with only a slightly higher budget. I wonder what impact this will have on the quality of the shows. No advertising is great but meaningless when the content is rubbish.

The test had intended to fire the missile towards the Atlantic. After launch, it turned around and flew the other way towards Florida. From the sibling posts's response I made:

According to the Sunday Times, the unarmed Trident II D5 missile was intended to be fired 5,600 miles (9,012 km) from the coast of Florida to a sea target off the west coast of Africa - but veered towards the US.
they don't even claim that. they now advertise that the high res picture is only seen by specialists that are in a room without view to your face, so thet don't know who they see butt naked. this was explained on the posters in the line.
I agree whole-heartedly. However, as we take on projects of larger scope and complexity, reflecting on the craft in a measured and skeptical way can be powerful and productive. It's a tricky line to walk.
I always wonder if this could be done once and for all languages, instead of Ruby making bundler, Haskell Cabal sandboxes or stack, Perl Brew, etc. Is this where Nix is going?
Well in this case they potentially allow forgeries, but yes.
Yes, when that happened the Fox News constituency took it about as hard as the rest of the world is taking Trump right now.

Indeed, the note of defeat in your average Fox News personality's voice was palpable.

They were washed up has-beens for the next few years and they knew it. In terms of a 24 hour news cycle that's eons.
They double the content because they still have all the shows they made last year. That's what makes this model so powerful: new subscribers haven't seen House Of Cards, season 1 yet, so the value proposition keeps getting better.

It might be a good time to bring back critical thinking to the education curriculum. I see that as the only real solution.

It would be interesting to know how the spread of this misinformation differs from other types of regular news.
I hope you're being sarcastic. I, for one, would have preferred an actual root cause analysis, with all the technical detail. This just feels vaguely patronizing, like Samsung expects me to not be able to understand the electrical details.

I mean, I get why they're releasing a summary infographic. The fewer details they release, the fewer things they're vulnerable to lawsuits over. But at the same time, I do think that it's important for society as a whole for companies to release the root-cause-analyses when their products have caused harm, so that other companies in the future know exactly what to watch out far and what sorts of designs to avoid. Right now, there's nothing preventing some other phone manufacturer from making the same mistakes as Samsung, with the same results.

> but at least for the next four years do not expect any great resistance or movement, the time for that is over.

Its certainly difficult to mobilize a mass political movement in the US without an imminent election and outside of the immediate aftermath of one, but the great and influential movements all were movements that managed to do that.

The time for a movement is not over. Whether it will hold together or not is, certainly, a thing about which there can be legitimate differences of opinion, but the signs I see suggest that there is something there.

My best guess is that mjolk perceives that your hypothesis is the following:

* Americans (as individuals) are racist,

whereas your hypothesis is:

* America (as a society) is racist.

The latter acknowledges that a society can be racist because of past actions even if all present members are non-racist, whereas the former assumes every member to be guilty of racism unless proven innocent. That's a very strong (and in my opinion, inaccurate and unfounded) accusation towards individual Americans, and it shifts the burden of proof in a way that is unjust towards the accused.

In short, the challenge is to diagnose and fight systemic racism without unjustly blaming individuals caught up in that system, even if said individuals appear to be the beneficiaries. The same is true for the fight against sexism.

As for the "all people can be racist" issue, remember that because systemic racism against white people is minuscule, the personal majority of racism that white people do experience is personal racism, an in this area minorities are just as bad as white people, if not more so. As an Asian-American I have encountered some personal racism, the vast majority of that from blacks and latinos while in middle and high school.
The country went through mass hysteria after the election, first it was fake news, then russian hackers, then the usual blaming of demographs.

The news media was completely upended by Trump. He seemingly has a reality distortion field of his own. His first couple of days in office have been spent at war with the media, this is precedent being set. No doubt that Steve Bannon is pulling strings already.

I think we're going to see a brand new propaganda machine set up by his administration. It'll be interesting how they deal with the rapid fire groupthink that seems to patrol the internet nowadays. I definitely don't think this is comparable to anything that's happened before.
Here is one thing Fox News does do: give us information about things the rest of them don't want to think about. Ever see what happens to coverage when a shooter/attacker is Muslim?

8:30am (CNN, MSNBC, Fox News) MASS SHOOTER AT UNIVERSITY!!! FRONT PAGE!!

Information Released that suspect is Somali immigrant

8:40am (Fox News ) Police are saying shooter is Somali immigrant
(CNN et al) Leaves up original page with update added that shooter may be a Somali immigrant

Information released it was a Somali immigrant, who is Muslim and praises ISIS, and used a knife

9:00am (Fox News) Information was released it was a Somali immigrant, who is Muslim and praises ISIS, and used a knife
(CNN et al) Front page: Look! someone taught a dog how to water ski!!

The rest of the day Fox details the history of the suspect, pictures and supporting info and the others bury it completely.

This has happened numerous times over the last few months. Is this better for us?

I met a then-CTO of HBO on a train once, talked for a few hours from NYC to upstate. I (digitally) followed the news about him for a bit - it seemed pretty clear from the time we spent talking, and what I saw digitally subsequently, that he tried and failed to get HBO to understand streaming and the web. HBO content is still amazing, and HBO isn't bad, but... It's certainly not as good as Netflix.

It occurs to me that it's a lot easier for Netflix to become HBO, than for HBO to become Netflix - You don't need to build up a tech base, or a talent pool, to make an amazing show - it's all rented or hired per thing, so if you can pay for the talent, it's available, and can start making magic immediately.

Not trying to imply the creation of amazing content is easy, more that the lead time is waaay less than for the creation of tech like Netflix's.

The reason there are commercials is it allows them to offer the service for less money and most people don't care.

I liked and appreciated your comments in this thread and was supporting your point, in a way, by reminding people that this happened to tech workers too but only for a relatively brief period of time and they struggled just the same.

Usually I'm the one in these threads arguing the position you're arguing, but I've decided that it's a pretty big waste of time to do so on HN.

I treasure my Submariner. It's the one article of fashion I have that goes perfectly with every outfit; it looks great with a tuxedo and it looks just as good with shorts and a t-shirt. It's incredibly well-made: I wear mine every day and after nine years together, it still looks better than the year-old iPhone in my pocket. It's also understated--at least, my stainless steel, black-bezeled Sub Date is--and it doesn't scream "expensive" or "showy" like many watches on both ends of the price spectrum often do.

There are a few advantages to owning a Rolex that may not be so obvious: For starters, it's quickly exchangeable for a high percentage of its value in cash in virtually any major city in the world. Because you're always wearing it, that's $8,000+ in cash that you can have in short order if you needed it badly and circumstances prohibit you from accessing your bank account.

Another advantage: they almost always appreciate in value over time. Very few physical assets can claim similar long-term value. People have been coveting these watches for nearly a century and that's unlikely to change. I will surely give mine to one of my sons someday.

If you can afford it, I highly recommend you treat yourself to one. I get enjoyment every day when I put mine on. I can barely remember any of the cars and trucks I've owned but I spent less on my Sub and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for the article, OP.
For additional seasons of their existing shows, they already have sunk costs for sets, props, and all that jazz. I don't know much about the economics of production, but I'm sure there's some sizable cost savings from leveraging those existing assets during subsequent seasons (same for movie sequels).

They've also been pumping out animated kids shows quite heavily. Those are almost certainly less expensive per hour than a lot of their blockbuster hits, and would easily allow for a 66% increase in content-hours with only a 20% budget increase. And, anecdotally, are the types of shows that keep subscriptions active long after parents stop actively watching things. Kids get attached to characters easily, can watch the same season repeat dozens and dozens of times, and benefit from consistency (i.e. not app hopping between Amazon Video, Netflix, Hulu, etc). And the value of Netflix during times like extended traveling and running errands is not to be underestimated.

My subscription would have gone long ago if my daughter weren't so attached to some of their Originals. They're really good at making spinoffs of popular movies (like the Puss in Boots spinoff from Shrek) and popular toys (like Ever After High, based on the Monster High dolls).

I like how the author just re-invented if statements. Even still called them "if". Compare:

title: 'Has the user searched yet?',
test: !!pageData.searchKeyword,
if: {
true: {

},
false: {
[snip]
},
},
}, [snip]

vs.

// Has the user searched yet?
[snip] if (decisionData.searchKeyword) {
[snip]
} else {

}

I'm also a researcher in medical AI and I would just add one other area that I'm optimistic about (which I happen to work on): automated EEG interpretation. We've seen some really big steps forward in the past few years and automatic epileptogenic spike detection is now as good as a human neurologist. Seizure detection is not quite there yet, but we've made a lot of progress and within another year or two it might get there. It's not a huge market so it doesn't really get much publicity outside of neurology circles. But if we can continue to cut down the time it takes to read an EEG it will be a huge boon for neurologists.
About a 6 months ago, all of our open VPN and softether VPNs was blocked, setting up new ones where blocked in 10 minutes. So we changed to shadowsock and it's been working since, it seems harder for them to detect.
> Why are there ads on cable tv?

To pay the bills.

> Why can't they just charge tv subscribers the whole amount and get rid of ads on tv?

That's what premium channels (HBO, Cinemax, etc.) do, and they appeal to a different audience than non-premium cable, because most people are more willing to accept the cost of advertising than the cost of paying for premium channels.
I think python packaging has gotten LOTS better in the last few years. I find it quite pleasurable to use these days.

From binary wheels (including on different linux architectures), to things like local caching of packages (taking LOTS of load off the main servers). To the organisation github of pypa [0], to `python -m venv` working.

Also lots of work around standardising things in peps, and writing documentation for people.

I would like to applaud all the hard work people have done over the years on python packaging. It really is quite nice these days, and I look forward to all the improvements coming up (like pipenv!).

I'd suggest people checkout fades [1] (for running scripts and automatically downloading dependencies in a venv), as well as conda [2] the alternative package manager.

You do package lib the same way as before, although cargo like dependency handling would be a nice thing. Especially for upgrades.

But a good package manager should ALSO allow you to produce a:

- a stand alone executable for most OS.

- a standard package for major OS (msi, deb, snap, rpm, dmg, etc).

Doing that right now with Python requires you to setup stuff like nuikta and the like. It works but it's much harder than it should be.
normally I use virtualenvwrapper and that makes a virtualenv directory for all virtualenvs you create with it. before that, I always create my projects' venvs inside my project hierarchy.

I had a dilemma about it. But after all, you can not move your venv directory unless you use `--relocatable` option. So, anyone have a strong argument about creating venvs inside your project directory?

HBO was doing that long before Netflix had original programming and Netflix, fairly overtly -- as in, I'm pretty sure I remember Netflix execs saying this -- was following HBO's arc rather than vice versa.
1. 'Day dreaming'. I'm not sure what's the scientific term for this is, but fantasizing about a better future, a better you, better circumstances etc., can give you a fresh outlook. Need to remember that this is just a means to an end, and not "the end" itself !

2. Thinking of how your "ideal self" or your "real life hero" would've handled the situation. Would he duck for cover ? Would he have thrown and given up ? Would he have backed out to survive the day (eventually to fight another day) ? This kinda helps in bringing in a fresh perspective to the situation. It no longer looks like a pain, more like a challenge/problem that needs to be faced/solved !
I really take issue with these kinds of articles.

Misinformation, fake news, propaganda all pretty much the same thing and they've all been around for a long time.

Our media is a reflection of who we are. Confused, misled, naive and easily persuaded. Suspension of disbelief happens to even the smartest cookies, no one escapes.

Until a automatic reliable semantic fact checker comes along with 99% accuracy we're all in this swirling pile of garbage together.
With regards to string quotes, I've always used this idiom, which I find fantastic:

For strings that are meant for human consumption, use double quotes, otherwise use single quotes.

This is super practical when looking strings meant for translation, end-user formatting, and such.
Okay - maybe I'm missing something, but pip is the only Python package manager I've ever used. And it's basically "pip install xxx", "pip install --upgrade xxx", "pip show xxx", "pip list", "pip uninstall xxx"

I'm curious what I've been missing about pip that makes it problematic - I've never used the other tools you mentioned (setuptools/distutils/ez_install) - so I can't comment on them, but, on the flip side, I've never had to use them, so maybe my requirements are somewhat more simple than yours.

Just like in politics.
