What the fuck.
Well, then you're mourning for that which never existed.
Whenever I start to think that solitary confinement might not be so bad, I remind myself that everyone in solitary can always have someone like Tyler Durden for their cellmate.

The isolation cell is a crucible for whatever crazy you may already have inside of you, and when they finally release you, it has been purified and sharpened.

That strikes me as an incredibly dangerous thing to gamble with. You may be turning a person with sociopathic tendencies into a stone-cold serial killer. Or you may be turning a slightly neurotic person into a helpless, useless wreck. Or you may be turning a slightly self-destructive person into a suicide. Do you really want to completely remove someone's societal feedback for extended periods of time, and then see how their compensation strategies work when they are expected to reintegrate with civilization? Solitary has literally trained a person to function only inside a tiny box with no one else in it. What would you expect to happen afterward?
"who are more than you'd think; who do you know who hasn't broken at law at least once or twice"

You wrote this without an ounce of introspection, not thinking about what we classify as "crime" nowadays and how much are entirely victimless activities.
You could take home a pi, keyboard, and mouse though. Assuming you have a TV you can plug your pi into.
Thanks, I registered and did exactly that!

I'm really happy to hear that it helped you get started with Kubernetes. This was one of the reasons we started with the project.

When can we move to fixing people, not just punishment?

Our current system is selfish. The suffering is a show for everyone else.

It's supposed to suck. Nobody has a beef with that. But it doesn't have to destroy.
I was about to comment on what skunk works did with the U2 and the SR71, but then i saw that virgin wanted to go at 4x the service ceiling of these two planes.
These two planes already had several very hard problems to solve (as related in https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/101438.Skunk_Works ), i can't begin to imagine the bigger problems to get higher.

Having spent a lot of time thinking and talking about this concept, this is valuable because you can attach cost-of-suffering to entities participating in an open conversation with an aggregate.

Consider the use of Twitter's platform as (currently) allowing a small subset of knowledgeable users to leverage viral behaviors to spread their belief systems into a larger aggregate, without the larger aggregate being able to defend against it.
Learning not to look down on any technology. Anytime I read technology X sucks (C++ sucks! PHP sucks! Relational databases suck! JavaScript sucks! Python sucks! Java sucks! C sucks! Linux sucks! Windows sucks! etc. ad naseum) I know that I'm dealing with an immature developer.
The technology is definitely there (and it can be done in many ways); I recently came across researchers/musicians using the self-organizing properties of slime molds to create music: https://vimeo.com/163427284
To me the demo was a bit bland.

What it really needs is the ability to add cues, similar to how ML painting programs are now giving you the ability to define areas of a photo/painting (this is sky, this is water, etc).

If you could say I need 30 seconds of uplifting music for my trailer but here are the 3 places where things are fast paced and here is the point that is shocking, the AI could in theory accommodate that into one piece that aligns with your already assembled visuals.
Tyler Cowen has a good video on this as well:

The textbook was the big red flag that this was all a theater production. "See how modern we are, all the kids have iPads"

It likely was Flash-based. All I know is it didn't work in iPad Safari.

My kids didn't use them for much else other than games at home.

I think it depends on what you mean. I don't think that just the number of bytes of data should be used to measure the size of your dataset. For example, if I have 1TB of all 1's, this is a lot of data, but not very interesting.

I think a more nuanced notion of size is the /information content/ of the datasets. I haven't thought about it carefully, but I'm sure you can quantify this more explicitly in terms of information theory or other non-bit-based complexity measures.

From this point of view, literature may not be large (in terms of the number of bytes), but in terms of information content, it is incredibly dense. A large portion of human knowledge is written somewhere. From this point of view, it is in fact big data.
The only way to master JS is to read one or two books (YDKJS being one of them) and then actually program projects of increasing ambition while asking questions and reading docs.

I'll never understand the obsession with reading so many books and doing so many courses.
I tried spacemacs once but I found it too magic. I decided I should learn proper emacs instead of running a random playbox of plugins ontop of plugin. But haven't had the time to properly learn emacs yet.

I have tried various haskell plugins for vim in the past, but they always tended to break so I gave up fixing my config and threw them all away.

Now it's just plain vim (with some non-haskell related plugins) Next to it I have a terminal that reruns tests when a file changes : `stack test --file-watch` . It's simple but it always works.

I'm not sure if the vim stuff got any better lately, I haven't checked. So if you have any suggestions, please tell :)

I don't have an official source, but the spillway will be rebuilt. It can be completely closed for an extended period once the rain/melt up season is over. I guess they might have to prepare a diversion to do it, if the work cannot be completed in months.

The water management and power provided by the dam pretty much guarantee it will be repaired and continue operating.

Avoid the Next AWS S3 Outage with a Failover Scenario
Implementing Feature Flags in an Angular E-commerce App
Snapshots can be created and restored with bare metal if you install the right software. Only basic metrics are monitored by AWS by default (have to pay more for more detailed monitoring) and alarms have to be specifically configured, as I recall. Note that "bare metal" doesn't necessarily mean non-virtualized; the end user can be running VMWare or Xen on owned hardware and get "cloud-style" flexibility and goodies like automatic monitoring.

DB services is a different class of problem than bare metal v. cloud application servers, and cloud DB services can be used whether you run your application on bare metal or cloud instances (but, for the record, the same type of things are mostly applicable here, in that the user still has to do their own security and configuration).

Show HN: Donatemates
"On the fact that median male wage was higher in 1969 than it is today"

The obvious explanation for this is women entering the workforce, it is basic supply and demand. While this is good for the economy and society as a whole, clearly men now face more competition for jobs.
That "show me all contexts related to samba" is something I'm really missing. I worked one weekend on getting NextCloud to play nicely with SELinux and Apache on Fedora 25 without any dirty tricks, and one thing that would really have come in handy was an accurate list of all the labels related to Apache. The only comprehensive lists I could find online were out-of-date, and the only things that were up to date were single examples.
While it's certainly not the worst, and certainly can be used for many things, bash is definitely pretty damn bad. You've got horrible string escaping nonsense ($IFS, ...), an utter lack of any sensible types, constant incompatibilities due to command-line tools supporting different arguments on different platforms, ...

While Perl or similar are not without many faults, at least they solve a lot of this. Think of even writing something like a JSON parser in bash... it's horrifying.

When the evacuation was announced I sort of hastily pasted into a chat channel that the dam was going to fail.

The main dam of course did not fail, but looking at the recent photos, the overall system sure did fail. I hadn't realized the extent to which the spillway had continued to erode.
Thanks.

Actually human rights are universal. China doesn't recognize that, sure. It doesn't give them special rights. Legal rights within their borders are theirs to adjudicate, sure, but they are still wrong to suppress journalists for instance.
Projects are never going to pick the perfect solution out of the gate. But, tested compromises also have value.

I would suggest SpaceX freeze a design every 5-7 years that's good enough to scale while cheaper than it's completion and then have a more experimental path. If option A costs 20 million more, but has a 98+% success rate and option B saves 20 million then the market can chose which to focus on.

The real 'problem' spaceX is facing is humans simply don't send all that much stuff into space, so they are never get enough data get the experimental path stable.
Followed by get fired and charged.
Can't really agree, literature is literature because of form not content, every literary work is its own separate world with references to other similarly separate worlds from the past. Data analysis can help finding invariants, like in Meter in Poetry from Prof Nigel Fabb https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meter-Poetry-Theory-Nigel-Fabb/dp/0... , but not the reason why literature is literary at all, which comes from social sciences. Mythopoesis as the cumulative sum of the real and imaginary worlds thought by humans is another possible result but it would not be literature, languages and theory of language instead.
We can disagree that the author's analysis is faulty (or that they inadequately support their reasoning with evidence) without merely casting it away as propaganda.

For instance, doesn't technology lead to significant gains in productivity, thus potentially exacerbating the vary demographic/economic shifts the author is arguing for (stipulating, for argument, that these shifts are actually taking place)?

What, specifically, do you disagree about the author's argument?
For me, it's mostly the number of concepts and the fact that they need to be known upfront. None of them are particularly difficult, but I've done ops for a bit and gone from manual sysadmin on bare metal to Puppet to Chef to Salt... then when we started playing with docker, there's the initial learning curve, then a slew of orchestration options to consider. I'm exhausted keeping up with devops tools.

What I want is a better way to learn hands-on or as I go. Not sure exactly what that looks like.

Most Bitcoin owners have absolutely no say in whether or not your transaction goes through. Only miners can do that.

Big miners can easily delay your transaction, by refusing to include it in a block, but the only way they can prevent your transaction entirely is if all of the miners collude not to include it.
Years ago, I was the junior in this situation. Being very careful about how to criticize code publicly/not criticize is a skill in its own right!

Hi! Been a while since my last "Show HN." I think that was Gumroad. :)

After the ACLU matching spree, I wanted to make it easier for folks to run their own matching campaigns in a similar vein, without having to monitor their @replies with a Google Sheet or other mechanism.

So me and a couple friends shipped Donatemates. You create a campaign, get a matching email address, and ask for friends to forward their receipts to it.

That's it :) – thoughts, feedback, and contributions (it's open source) appreciated!

Hi HN-ers!

We're building a simple customer relationship tool that helps you keep track of all the details of your client interactions. It's flexible to be adaptable to your startup's needs.

There's plenty more features coming up ahead including automation workflows, a plugin system to automatically pull in any kind of information and customer analytics. We plan on integrating with Gmail, Drive and Calendar.

Here's the direct link to the app: https://app.orchestrahq.com

Sorry, we haven't set up any demo accounts yet so you'll have to register to test it out.

Looking forward to your comments and critiques.

Cheers and thanks!

Hey guys... Drew from Amper here. Thanks for the feedback!
The article paints a pretty negative picture of the present. While its true that there has been a convergence of factors that have caused much despair/desolation in most of America outside Tech/Coastal areas, this might simply be a rebalancing of the economy. Completely anecdotal of course, but most of the young Americans I see/meet are incredibly optimistic about the future, willing to work hard for their future, interested in other cultures etc. (But perhaps this is only because I live in a liberal city). It seems like Millennials are much better poised to build and contribute to a 21st century America.

At the risk of sounding incredibly ageist, it seems like its the older generation, the baby-boomers who are unwilling to retrain, unwilling to move, unwilling to accept or understand the new economy and world order. They seem to be yearning for a time when life was easier. While I can understand the sentiment, it seems to be producing incredibly toxic effects on the nation; we've seen the political ramifications, soon we might see social and economic ones as well.
The best ones are those that have projects at the end of each chapter that incorporate what you've just learned. But yeah, I feel that books are mainly just for jumpstarting into a language, and don't help terribly much in the long-term. It can help with solving problems in the most sensible way for the language, but otherwise it's best to just hammer on a project.
The view is inherently stateful. Ignoring that because the JS doesn't have to be will always get you trouble. Adding transitions, however fast they may animate, will be killer.

That's not to mention the so completely obvious missed opportunity to let the Enter key do what it says and Enter the folder.

One way to view NPR as state-sponsored propaganda is by looking at the connection between NPR and the Open Society Institute, an organization representing the deep state run by George Soros.

It is exceedingly unlikely that a 1.8 million dollar donation will be given for nothing in return.

* The most recent Maidan Square coup that fractured Ukraine

* 2014 Ukraine coup

"The Bridge is a 2006 British-American documentary film by Eric Steel spanning exactly one year (365 days) of filming at the famed Golden Gate Bridge which crosses the Golden Gate entrance to San Francisco Bay, connecting the city of San Francisco, California to the Marin Headlands of Marin County, in 2004. The film captured a number of suicides, and featured interviews with family and friends of some of the identified people who had thrown themselves from the bridge that year."

Some people are essentially told to contribute to this phenomenon when you buy a house in the US. High home values mean good school funding, which means homes will hold their value over time, pricing out people of different incomes. Buy the cheapest house you can in the most expensive neighborhood you can afford for the best return (with the caveat that mixed use zoning is rare).

If had a Japanese zoning model,[0] decoupled school funding from local incomes,[1] and ended or capped the mortgage interest deduction, a lot of this would go away.

None of those are trivial changes without entrenched interests though.

I think the best way to grow, or mature, is to make mistakes. And the best way to make mistakes, is to do what we don't normally do.

In a professional setting, this would equate to a job that allows a certain amount of variety. If you can't, in your current role, you should move!

It doesn't matter what the variety is. If your given variety you will grow. Different variety, different direction - but nevertheless, grow.
I do not think China would be so successful if not for the Democracy elsewhere in the world.

It is not Chinese citizens, with Chinese money, buying Chinese goods and supporting the Chinese economy. It is Americans and Europeans outsourcing manufacturing to China of American and European designs and selling mostly to Americans and Europeans with China taking a cut because they can do it cheaper than locally sourced manufacturing.

It really isn't that simple, of course every country has some R&D, some manufacturing and some purchasing. etc... But Expensive goods of almost any kind are American or European, if they are bought or sold. Even commodity goods aren't all made in China.

Their whole country is filling gaps that Western businesses leave behind. That isn't exactly "working", but it is clearly better than it used to be. If their citizens ever get freedom to run businesses like the west has, like they used to have in Taiwan, then China would be the economic superpower instead of just a major economic power. I don't think they can have that without democracy or something equally empowering.
