Nova is pretty good and paid version has promotions for dollar

ADW launcher Beta 2 is pretty good as well, but i uninstalled it because of annoying advertisements and developer's reputation

Holo launcher is as light as you can get with enough functionality without installing Chinese spyware

other than that only Lightning launcher which cost a lot and not sure how is it better than Nova
But most chans are also pseudonymous. The only difference is that by default websites such as these require some sort of alias. It's very hard or even impossible to be really anonymous on a computer network.

The key part about why dependency injection with partial application is not functional:

> When you inject impure operations into an F# function, that function becomes impure as well. Dependency injection makes everything impure, which explains why it isn't functional.

I all but refuse to sign up or use any site that requires me to create a login at this point. I will absolutely never, ever sign up for another forum. My email every birthday is just filled with hundreds of emails from the various forums of hobbies/interests long since gone from my life.

I'd consider going to a site if it had oauth via Google/FB. It's own login is a hard stop. And even at that point there's probably an 80% chance that I'll forget about that site after a week.

If you're a content creator don't make it my job to find and keep current with your content.
Why would you use a massively complicated and expensive robot to do an interview instead of a speaker and a microphone?

Unless you mean a tablet running android, in which case I agree.
Your argument contains a logical error!

>I'd like to point out that if you're designing an algorithm to optimize for raw skill comparison in tournament match-ups, optimizing it to rebalance match-up results to be more mixed essentially voids that first optimization

This is not necessarily the case. For example, if you alphabetized by last name, then obviously people with coincidentally the same last name could appear in any order. But if in twenty cases the men always were listed first (that's what the algorithm spat out), it might seem unfair. You could add the first name (another dimension) but you could also add a preference for mixing. Indeed, perhaps adding first names makes it unfair, as the pool of male first names is more skewed toward men (in the way aaron does not have a female equivalent). Last names likely have no such skew since a person born xx or xy gets the same last name.

So this example shows that the first dimension, which is fair (alphabetical by last name) can remain optimized while adding a second dimension. Because the first dimension doesn't care about what order people with the same last name appear.

Likewise perhaps the first dimension is equally fine with a few different pairings - so at that point optimize the second dimension.
Oh I had forgotten about that

I used this in a couple of projects, and it was one of the easiest to use (still, it had good scripting possibilities)
> And free markets are the ultimate solution.

On the subject of arrogance, spoken like a true believer..

There is hardly ever an ultimate solution to anything, and to take an extreme position on matters is almost always harmful. Things are never simply black and white.
"all correspondence are designed to make the motorist believe they have been caught by a CPM patrol warden"

That sounds unethical. You should have the right to confront your accuser, especially someone with an incentive to possibly falsify evidence to collect a reward.
Yeah, this is one area where webdev is way behind other fields, and i think we're going to see lots of new tooling in this area soon.

We're currently working on a way to help devs test web app functionality and complete user journeys without having to actually write tests in Selenium or whatever. The idea to is let devs write down what they want to test in English ("load the page", "search for a flight", "fill the form", "pay with a credit card", etc), then we'll use NLP to discern intent, and we have ML-trained models to actually execute the test a browser.

You can give us arbitrary assertions, but we also have built-in tests for the page actually loading, the advertising tags you use, page performance, some security stuff (insecure content, malware links). At the end we hand you back your test results, along with video and perf stats. It’s massively faster than writing Selenium, and our tests won’t break every time an XPATH or ID changes.

As a .NET dev, .NET Core is pretty exciting.

We're porting a sizable application to .Net Core so we can be on Linux and save cost and time on instance launch.

I'm writing an in-depth blog post series about the process because I haven't found any significant migration stories. I'm hoping it will help a lot of people through the process.
How difficult do you think it is to build jamming equipment? If you are technical enough to install new firmware, you can follow directions to block cell phone calls in your immediate vicinity. It just takes a Google search and a soldering iron.
Why you expect that junior developer (someone with very little or no development experience) will use a test tool or any other development technique? I expect that junior developer in software field should be able to program only.
Talking over a woman who is speaking for herself, and discussing whether she is competent without her input, is a classically sexist way to be rude.
The sad part is it's due to a very small amount of trolls that did a lot of damage. I can't help but be disgusted that these guys are now laughing about IMDB shutting the whole thing down because of their actions.
but they are not obvious to an external viewer

That's precisely the point. The whole philosophy of APL is that it's not supposed to be obvious to anyone who doesn't (yet) know it. However, seeing as the character set is still Latin, it's not hard to guess at what it does even if you don't know the language.

- I don't see 'vs' in the snippet, but would guess V stands for Vector.

- Even in all but the most anal "standard style guides", single-character names are normal for temporary/limited-scope variable names.

- You could likewise ask why Chinese words aren't separated by spaces, or why English words need to be. It's a different language with its own grammar and style.

I don't know APL either, but at least I make an effort to see their perspective on the language, because it is clear that there are people who are highly proficient at working with code like this. (Likewise, I would guess that experienced APL'ers probably find more "traditional" languages like C, Java, Python, etc. "unreadably" verbose.)
Mixed feelings about this.

I'll miss inane arguments about movies, but I'll be glad to see the back of the "Oh she's growing up fine" comments on under age actresses' profiles. Creepers are creepy.
Another piece of Internet History gets deleted, that's a pity. Personally it literally was the very first url I memorized back in IE3 times, and eventually first online user account as well (June 1999, wow, time flies).
All due respect, it isn't really the same code base at all. RN assembles your app from a large list of components based on what your JSX file tells it needs to be imported. If you went and counted LOC you'd probably find that most of the lines of code (outside of the RN backbone) live in those modules. The common code you can share is your JSX.
I just deleted Facebook. All my photos are gone forever, according to them.

It felt like Snapchat except the timer was set to ten years.
They seem to be adopting the same public comment that NPR did when they shutdown comments - "we aren't shutting it down but rather we are simply 'migrating' community engagement to Twitter(and perhaps other social media outlets.)"

I find relegating community engagement to Twitter creates an uneven experience in that I have to go "out of band" to participate when I am already on the IMDB site. Also discussing movies(or any art form for that matter) via 140 characters is hard for me personally to take seriously.

I wish they had provided numbers for the volume that uses the comments section vs Twitter as it would have been interesting.

Maybe this change will create an opportunity for an alternate movie site?
I used Facebook for about a year or two - but when I did I made 2 separate accounts, one for friends I was close to and one for family, colleagues, etc. Fake name on the friends one. Is this not a more common way to get around this issue?
Platform exclusivity is a dark pattern. Content is what's important, the platform is largely irrelevant to users.

I'm perfectly happy paying for media. But if something isn't readily available, I'll probably end up pirating it or never listen to it.
Solid Perfume a perfume's revolution
Just computing hashes seems a bit of a "waste" but given that this mining exists...does it essentially provide a market cap for renting GPU calculations for say deep learning? If I offer 13 coins for the estimated GPU usage it takes to mine a block, rational miners should switch over and let me rent their GPU farms, right (ignoring other costs for arguments sake)?

Is there something like Amazon p2s that mine bitcoin and show a running cost (x/h) where I could just bid >x/h and rent it for a while to do my calculations and when I "shutdown the instance" it goes back to mining?

The mega farms are build around scale and cheapest electricity usually. wouldn't it make sense for them to slap a "rent our servers for deep learning" on top? They know really well how much expected value they generate from the mining (with variance due to the BTC price swings) so they could charge a bit more (or 2x...depends on how well known the margins are) to let anyone rent the calculation for other stuff...then return to default-mining once the rented calculations are done.
I do electronic music. The rise of platforms like Bandcamp and Patreon, and the abundance of high quality free/inexpensive tools and guides is raising the bar for quality in independent music, and making it easier for more people to get paid in whatever niches they prefer (vs. going for a mass audience).
Just goes to show you, how narrow their field of vision is. Most xs get trained a certain way with certain tools and for the rest of their career that is all they know.

Applies to most of us whatever the value of x.
Try browsing 4chan for a bit. It's crazy to see how much conformity and mob behavior happens even in an anonymous format like that.

Almost as though people exhibit adherence to a culture just to perpetuate that culture itself rather than their own identity (of which there is none).
Worth a read even if it could be a bit more straightforward. What I found valuable was the author distinguishing

- willpower (and providing some historical context)

- self-control

- ego depletion (he points to debunking studies)

- temporal discounting

- emotional regulation

He used to come on #winprog - I think Winamp was his first windows app, he was always asking about GUI elements how he was planning on making it skinnable. Everyone was trading mp3's and I couldn't figure out why you would want to spend 15 minutes downloading a song...
I believe they have made the practice of an "alternate" account much more difficult and also shut down accounts they believe are not tied to "real names."
Doctors' and lawyers' experiences are not gained purely in school. Realistically, a comp sci major gains immediately usable skills during a degree as compared to either of those professions.

In fact, all your argument points to, logically, is that there is a far stronger case for "more sophisticated professions" to have more gruelling interviewing standards than software developers.
Yes - I was agreeing with you but my comment was unclear. I wanted to make explicit what you implied by use of "Process groups".
There is an OSS version of Minesweeper that does something like this! It would dynamically set the game grid so that you never need to guess.

Inversely, if you're guessing, it would make you lose ;)

It also included a hexagonal grid mode and other goodies, but I haven't touched it in 10 years and can't find it anymore. Might have been windows only, not sure
>Why you expect that junior developer (someone with very little or no development experience)

I don't think thats the definition of a junior developer. Test tools are apart of building software, you should be hiring devs that have created projects that use tests of some sort, if not with the technology you're using.

>I expect that junior developer in software field should be able to program only.

I don't know how you can have little to no dev experience and know how to program.
Absolutely. I've been to more than one final round where the feedback was "not technically strong enough" but it was clear from the interviewer's attitude that it was largely about "fit" and whether they wanted to "let you in".
I live in Los Angeles, specifically the west side; hardly a day goes by that I don't see a Ferrari pull out of the Sony Studios facility, a 50-person crew filming 2 actors talking next to a cafe, or an action scene that closes down part of a freeway, with 100s of police, security, helicopters, etc. around. Many scenes of Grey's Anatomy are filmed in what is almost my back yard, and they often involve a dozen camera-crew trucks, staff of 60+ people, etc. I just cringe when I think of the cost.

What most people want is a great story, and great dialog. I'm not talking about the audience for a Transformers movie, I don't watch them but some do; that is a different story, and the animation can be done, and is being done, more cheaply outside of Hollywood already. But what I'm saying is that if you can write a great script and have a great story with great dialog, there are plenty of hungry, often young (age isn't relevant BTW) people with RED 4K cameras who can film and edit and put together a great product for $3M, not $30M or $100M.

The days of Brad Pitt getting $30M for a movie, of Julia Roberts getting $25M, are coming to and end. It might take 5 years, or 10 years, or even a generation, but it will happen. Same thing to studio execs; the days of drinking champagne for breakfast and lighting Cuban cigars with $100 bills will end. IT JUST IS NOT SUSTAINABLE, NECESSARY, OR COMPETITIVE ANYMORE. (Sorry for shouting, but that is the crux of my point). 30 years ago, there was no internet to speak of, there were no RED (or Canon, etc.) cameras, there were no "prosumer" drones with HD cameras, non-western countries were isolated and not part of the global workforce, etc.

That has all changed. It is just very easy to put together a great product for less, and all must adjust. It happened to IT, computing and programming, and it's happening to entertainment.
Docker, containers are crazy powerful and cool too!

Lots of cool stuff in the space like Kubernetes, Swarm, CoreOS, rkt!!

That's how it should work, not how it actually works. You have to move your head to focus, same as with bifocals. It might even be harder to use to focus on a small object like a phone.
There is a monthly 'Who is Hiring' thread for job solicitations on Hacker News. It is posted at 9am Eastern (US) time on the first working day of each month. Otherwise, with the exception of YC companies, job advertisements are off-topic.

Good luck.
That makes sense - if autoconf source is closer to a set of instructions "please include library functions A, E and G in this order" than C source, it's obvious that each function is under copyright and so the output would come under the terms of the license covering those functions.

It's not based on math, it's empirical. In practice seems to work.

To put it another way, on two adjacent tiles where there's one mine, if you had the choice to reveal a 2 or a 6, which one would you choose?

I would assume that by saying the chans are anonymous, the poster meant they are anonymous between users.

Sure, the site administrator, your ISP, or the NSA may know it's you posting, but the other users of the site don't. And you don't have a site wide identity that follows you around. Unless you explicitly choose so.

"There are so many problems with Graham’s thinking that it is difficult to organize a focused response."

Statements like these are pointless theatrics. The more wrong someone is, the easier, not harder it is to point out where and how. What's the argument?

You have to wait until section 2 to find one:

"...there are actually several critical errors in the above reasoning which render Graham’s conclusions baseless. The first is the idea that measurement of things like quality and success can be objective, perfect and fair. These are not objective facts, they are highly contextual and can be manipulated by power struggles, charisma, clever marketing, or outright fraud. Value is a social construct..."

After about eight paragraphs about how "pedestrian" PG is, his point (finally) is basically that value is subjective and immeasurable. I don't know how true this is philosophically, but for all intents and purposes, if it were true, it would mean that nothing could be better than anything else. [1] It's also a conflation of ideas. Marketing doesn't create value; it distributes and sells it. Value as defined in the original essay is the meaty stuff people want: a home computer, for example, or an affordable spaceship.

"Graham identifies that “Many of the employees (e.g. the people in the mailroom or the personnel department) work at one remove from the actual making of stuff.” So what exactly do they contribute to the wealth generation process? Does Graham imply that without these others working at “one remove”, the programmers could still create the wealth they do? Without the human resources team to coordinate their medical benefits, would the programmers be as productive? Without the legal team to fend off frivolous lawsuits brought by patent trolls [...]?" (And so on.)

All Graham is saying is that programmers are directly involved in the creation of the product itself — its design, engineering, and maintenance. Other people create the social environment that makes it possible for this product to be distributed and not be killed, but don't make stuff in the artisanal sense.

I can understand why it would be insulting if someone claimed that anyone who isn't a maker were somehow useless, but Graham never did.

I'm ten minutes in, and everything I've read is basically a verbose form of "it's all relative" and "things are more complicated than that." Philosophy has a standard refutation to this: we deal with complex phenomena by isolating principles. For example, the abstract idea of value, the distinction between creation and distribution, and so on. It's the most boring thing in the world to hear, "the universe is more complex than that idea captures." All abstractions are reductions.

This sort of argument based on moral outrage and authority about how the real world works holds back truthseeking discourse.

[1] I also have a hard time understanding how someone who has earnestly tried to make good things could want this to be true.
The TTY is just a user-facing device and as such has a single read-write pair.

- You can read() from it (this is basically what the user types into the keyboard)
- You can write() to it (this gets translated into what is displayed on the screen)

The TTY has no business separating programs. It doesn't know or care what its input/output is connected to.

What you are looking for is shell redirection.

If you have a problem with redirection in a concrete shell script, get in touch - I can fix it for you :-)
The author, arrogant and verbose though he may be, takes issue with Graham's casual assertion that the best hackers are libertarians, and attempts to deconstrust the psychology underlying this connection. What's so illustrative is how Graham inspires his followers to believe the way he does in order to justify and perpetuate his own wealth. The money quote in my mind is:

> It is amazing how well this piece serves as marketing fodder for Graham’s venture capital arm, Y Combinator. His business model relies on convincing hordes of eager young hackers to sign over their surplus labor to his investors. With logic crafted to appeal directly to the introverted minds of recent computer science graduates, he has no shortage of cannon fodder lining up on his doorstep willing to eat Ramen and gleefully line the coffers of his investor’s portfolios.
I agree with all of your points and there is also the downside risk that one of that "broad audience" is going to leave some appalling or just cringe-worthy comment about your post. And unless you check up on FB regularly that association is just hanging out there. When I used FB I found that I had to go an do "maintenance" to untag photos and delete cringe-worthy comments from people I am not even really friends with. I don't miss having FB at all.
It's the same for me. I've never posted because usually other contributors have already provided interesting observations or interpretations. If I have a question, odds are someone else in the past two decades has already asked the same question. While, I've noticed the quality of the discussion in inversely proportional to the popularity of the film, even for mainstream films you can identify the useless threads quickly enough or back away if/when they get derailed.
But still:

Most doctors are not trained researchers, like others have said. A researcher in a different field could be better equipped to solve a certain medical problem than a doctor, given that they have access to the right information.

Here, one should also consider that the doctor typically has 15 to 30 minutes to listen to a patient and come up with a solution, whereas a persevering patient can spend hours upon hours searching for solutions, correlations or clues on the internet and in the scientific literature.

One of the campuses I was on had fiber to every dorm room. I remember the banners on DC++ servers exhorting users not to play movies directly across the network. The idea of streaming a movie off someone else's hard drive certainly seemed like witchcraft.
