First of all, JetBrains IDEs run all on top of Java, except for the Visual Studio plugins they also develop.

Second, while it is great that .NET is now open source, the libraries that would allow for something like InteliJ to be build across multiple OSes aren't quite there yet.

Finally I was actually referring to the fact, which I hate to see done by some in new languages that target JVM communities, is spiting on the plate that gives them food. Without the JVM those languages wouldn't even exist in first place.

Yes Sun had a more engineering friendly culture than Oracle has, but they also did tons of missteps. Specially in what concerns making Java appealing for the desktop, something that for incredibly as it may sound, has been better handled by Oracle.
The whole point of RationalWiki is that it's a callout site. RationalWiki is first and foremost a well-documented list of science deniers and pseudoscience pushers. Neutrality is counter to its goal.
I feel like 720p/3GB would be capable enough for most basic Android utility apps, and some social media, which appears to be the use case they're targeting here.
Herring is also delicious when pickled in vinegar with onion, and also in some canned varieties. At least I love it.
That is something to mourn, yes. It is in some way disappointing to see such an old culture, one that's been the focus of so much effort, be overtaken and undercut by newcomers that don't have that culture. It's interesting, though; in topics that lives depend on, medicine and industry, we celebrate the advent of new techniques that remove the burden and dependence on the old guard. Like you said, "Free to never play that damn game ever again". But in this case, where the mastery of the game is the end in itself instead of a means to some other end...

I don't know. My perspective is likely decidedly odd, as I've read a great deal of far-future science fiction and done AI research and have already spent a lot of time thinking about what it means to be human when machines will inevitably outperform us all in every way. The key, I think, is that there still are - will always be - things for us to enjoy. We can always find achievement in our own accomplishments, even if they're insignificant next to what someone or something else can do. I don't care that I run slower than a supercar; I take satisfaction in being able to run faster than I could yesterday. Not all is lost. :)
~$15k in total.

ecommerce-related domain - I let it expire and then got email from potential buyer if i'd want to sell it. Luckily i was able to re-register it to negotiate a ~$3k sale.

Another .COM domain i registered and never built anything and got a request to sell it. Time to hold before selling ~2 years. I was first owner.

1-letter .GG domain. $10k. Chinese buyer. Buyer paid for domain + Escrow.com fees. Spent about $800 to keep it registered before sale. While selling it - i received an offer for $12k for it :)

I am pretty good at finding decent domain names even when others think all good domains are taken.

PS: I was contemplating about registering GOO.GL domain when it was available. I registered GO.GL back then and run photography business off it for a couple years before letting it go.
Thank you Stepan :) Means a lot
You can sell 500 BTC in one go while incurring roughly 4% slippage on Bitstamp[1].

Also, https://bitcoincharts.com/markets/ has order books for all the major exchanges, and includes a sell/buy calculator on the "Market Depth" tab for each exchange. But last time I checked (6-12 month ago), Bitstamp was the most liquid one for USD.

Solution is simple. "Make sure you reply to company wide messenger. Make all open area conversation via messengers. Make any conversations that benefit vocal speaking in a separate room. Give everyone an option to book private rooms for occasions where you need long phone conversation"
Shadow Profiles: shouldn't they be disallowed/illegal?

The fact that I am not on facebook, means that I am not even covered by the privacy of their ToS.

Anyone who knows me, ends up exposing my information and privacy, which I have not consented to.

How does that make sense? The only way I can deal with this intrusion, is to open myself up further and get on Facebook?

I'm unsure how to parse the rights and restrictions here

I cant speak much for lee sedol's mind :)

I dont think he wants to play alphago again. Go is a game that relies a lot on confidence: professional players almost never play amateur players casually, for example. Thats because if they lose to an amateur player, it will affect their mindset, their confidence, and they could then perform worse in the real professional tournament.

An argentinian amateur beat 2 strong professionals back then in 2001 in a major professional tournament: it was a huge sensation. Those two professionals basically disappeared from high ranking tournaments forever. It was said that the setback was so severe it affected them permanently(purely hearsay).

Its not good for a professional to play a game he thinks he will lose.
Yeah, the headline is sensationalist. With the current spending factored in, it's really not that bad.

A big enough tax on fast food could probably cover it, with the added bonus of decreasing the amount needed.

If that doesn't work, then there are a lot of programs they can cut that are less important than healthcare.
Its an open question. What is beauty after all...
It's still inaccurate with word secure in there. That's a more widespread problem, though. ;)
This is kind of the key. If P100s were common on gce, it would be a better comparison. But the k80 is very old by today's standards, and a consumer card will run circles around it.
Great phrasing lol...
Well, not that wrong, though there's this media idea of some women admitting they are watching gay porn etc, which they blow as on the rise or even prevalent. Still, according to PornHub:

Moving on to search terms. Women seem to have a lot of love
for ‘lesbian’ porn. The term dominated women’s top
searches. From ‘lesbian scissoring’ to ‘lesbian seduces
straight’ even to ‘lesbian threesome’ there was a definite
request for anything female on female among our female
viewers. And while the ladies’ preference was ‘Lesbian’ by
a long shot.

They also provide preferred search terms and preferred categories for men and women, and gay related stuff is not in the top 10.
The footnote says: (* this is not a guarantee). OK, I guess...
The idea is not totally bad, but I have come across some bad implementations.

The worst is when there is no visual progress feedback, to know where I am in the filling process.

Also for me this is worse than a single form. At some point a question comes up which I don't want to answer, eg. for privacy reasons, or you don't need to know that for the operation I'm carrying out. I have already given out info, which I'd rather not in this case, as I changed my mind on the way.

I believe that multiple page forms have a lower conversion rate, while also wasting non-converted consumer time. this adds frustration, and lowers future conversion rates. Happened to me.
I think "compilers for which both the source and target languages are usually written by humans" is a useful category. They face some fairly unique issues, like having to plan around a second optimization pass geared towards human, not machine, output. I'm not sure why it's such a big deal to you the particular word used, since it AFAICT was never used to mean anything else.
The article could have been better if concrete end to end example was provided (or references where people could clearly see) that they could apply to their own scenarios.
Separate from the cost debate, the bill is labeled a "job killer," I assume because of all the insurance and related jobs lost.

Which would be bad for the people losing their jobs, but they're only employed because they work for an arguably unnecessary middle-man industry. There's no "right" to those jobs, and if we can find a way to deliver health care, as opposed to health insurance, to close to everyone, we should figure that out, regardless of insurance jobs.
>May I guess that you are heterosexual male who does not have good looking friends?

Yes, but that would be beside the point, as I'm talking about the average male, not "good looking" ones or Tom Hiddleston in a suit.
One problem with this argument is there isn't enough history. When aws added k80 the price of the old ones did not decrease much; they just increased the price of the new k80 higher than the k20. Theoretically what you said can happen, but Google still has to run the k80s and pay for them.

By the way, I appreciate the useful comments you've left in the past on your experience for gce.

The AGA has been able to get Michael Redmond to do quick reviews of Master (online AlphaGo) games, I love his review style so it's a great way to spend half an hour.

Trucking deregulation occurred between 1978-1980 during the Carter administration.

Plus, the way it was regulated makes modern regulatory capture look consumer friendly.
If you wanted to start a trucking company, you had to submit a business plan with a list of committed customers and already set in stone pricing. The Feds would literally hand your plan to everyone with a route in the region, give them a few months to review it and then your potential competitors got to vote on whether you should be allowed to operate that route.
Predictably, it was basically just outsourced sales for the exiting companies.

With the nightly compiler, you can get most of the non-OS dependent parts of the stdlib via the core, alloc, and collections crates. As others have mentioned, a lot of the more basic stdlib functionality is a re-export of core.
Anker has 18 month warranties. As long as you purchased it from them or an authorized reseller, they will honor it.

For me Facebook is my go to in messaging and events discovery/organisation and it is a genuine value add which I do not want to give up. Just yesterday I organised a party - the invite is on Facebook because every single person I see regularly has it and gives me a simple way to see who is going and contact them, and for my other guests to see the invite list and interact with each other/make plans around it.
>You might think you know what I'm doing in the bathroom.

Well, even for the times that I know EXACTLY what are you doing (e.g. because I saw you gulp down 10 big Macs and a box of laxatives before rushing to the bathroom) you still want privacy.

Im not sure i would extrapolate the feelings of workers in an entire industry from a two day visit to a truck stop.

If you interviewed my coworkers at the hated retailer-of-them-all you could cherry pick totally bad experiences. Or on the other hand you could find example after example how a walmart worker can buy their own house [1] and how every walmart has at least one employee making 6 figures, often 250k or more.

I hope nothing bad happens to the scientists for pursuing this line of inquiry. Charles Murray basically got excommunicated for work in the general area of intelligence and populations; this is different, but could be viewed as worse by some people too.

> The enforcement is stupid (both the previous hack and now the block)

Hack indeed. Seems like blocking POST would block posting stuff while blocking to log in allows you to just copy your cookie, and doesn't allow you to view your notifications.
In the real world, though, 99% of the time, we DO know. And even if we don't know exactly, we can narrow it very closely. We either shit, take a bath, masturebate or whatever. We still want privacy of any of those things.
DynamoDB is just not good. It has a document size limit, and throttling. It gets very expensive very quickly. And it's not fast. Writes are slow. And it's difficult to query.
> But what's the advantage of Facebook over email and/or texting?

Discoverability. Facebook has it inside the app. Email and texting require you to go out of band for it.

It's impossible to exaggerate the value of this. Groups of people who had lost contact in high school have gotten back in touch in retirement, planned trips, and traveled to a place to meet up together because Facebook has in-band discoverability. Before Facebook such a group of people would just hope someone in the group had enough time and patience to manually track everyone else down, which was probably hundreds of dollars of their time wasted.

Musicians find gigs through it. Friends of friends are leaky so you don't even have to bother people to find useful connections or fan pages. Businesses list specials, trips, blogs, etc. Way cheaper than sending out a snail mail newsletter or even managing an email list.

All Facebook's users save oodles of time connecting with acquaintances and making new connections, for whatever reasons they wish to connect.

Honestly, it's an incredibly difficult question to answer fully because I'm not sure where the short circuit is. Why do you see value in messaging protocols but not social networks?
Ask HN: How do you find the right people in the organization?

If your GWAS has more people, the results are more accurate, and you can detect smaller effects, finding more SNPs that do something. The CTG study had 78,308 people in it, the SSGAC study will have 1,000,000.
Volume and order book depth are two unrelated figures.

Volume is roughly proportional to trading fees, while slippage is a function of order book depth.

It's easy to increase volume: relinquish trading fees. Getting people to deposit USD/BTC on your exchange, and lock it in a sell/buy order, is a different matter though, since it mainly depends on trust in the company behind the exchange (since you will lose that money if the exchange goes bust).

I realize this is days later, but I felt the need to respond even though I didn't feel the need to check for responses earlier.

I do see how it can be easy to believe that ratings have more influence than students. At the same time, many ratings include student surveys as a substantial part of the ratings process.

Additionally, I can see how it can be easy to believe that there is significant administrative bloat in universities, even when the reports on funding sources and costs state that the administrative costs have been going down. For many the budgets and administration of public universities simply don't have enough transparency, and even when they strive to achieve transparency there may not be enough historical data to give people any real perspective.

Further, it's easy to point the finger at all sorts of practices within a University as sources of said administrative bloat, regardless of whether the budgets support those arguments.

When you have a significant reduction in state funding for public universities, you drive those institutions to look for ways to overcome those budget shortfalls. Generally speaking, it's hard to get people to accept salary reductions, so cost-cutting measures come from other directions. Where I work, tenured/tenure-track faculty in some colleges are teaching significantly more credit-hours than they would have ten years ago, so there are fewer lecturers, students, part-time faculty teaching classes. Since the tenured faculty don't get paid more for teaching more classes, this is a pretty effective cost-cutting measure for some colleges, but it has its limits, especially since those faculty are also expected to continue with other intellectual contributions (such as research).

Every new staff or faculty member hired anywhere within the University has to be justified. They no longer hire someone simply because a position has been vacated, so when someone retires it's possible that their duties simply get distributed among others and the position goes away.

However, if someone's job is basically fund-raising, it's probably going to be easier to get approval for that position, especially if you can find a candidate with a proven history of improving the budget situation for an educational institution.

Meanwhile, programs and physical things like buildings and equipment tend to be attractive to donors. You can put up buildings and fill them with equipment by demonstrating a willingness to pay for 50% of the cost and then creating a big push for donors, and with the right people working on the project you can end up paying significantly less (or nothing). Further, you can then leverage the new building/equipment for further facilities/equipment upgrades.

Good luck getting someone to pay someone's pension or to pay the salary of any of the staff dealing with the budget, custodial work, IT, etc.

That's not true. Previous gpus, like Pascal, have lower precision instructions​ for fp16 and int8. The tpu allows a 4x4 matrix multiply and accumulated in one clock cycle through special cores. They're physically different parts of the die.

The vacuums have to blow out air too, and this stirs the dust you didn't vacuum yet. As soon as you are done this starts settling again. If you sweep the floor instead, with moist or antistatic cloth, you get most of it and it does not just resettle.

Back on topic I think many people that goes to higher education does not valuate the work of people that clean or do other manual laybour. I have done quite a few different jobs like cleaning, transport and servicing machines and it differs a lot between workplaces how much you feel appreciated. A school for example would not be able to stay open if noone was sweeping the floors every day...

If you found this interesting, I highly recommend Frontline's The Fish on My Plate [1]. It chronicles this quirky author's journey into the world of seafood. He does a "Supersize me" like experiment with seafood. I learned a lot and it even inspired me to modify my diet. Mussels not only are delicious, they help clean up the excess runoff from farms.

I'm currently working with Scala and recently dabbling with Elixir and Phoenix. It's a good language and great platform, however, I still prefer static typing.

I'm still getting used to dynamic typing in Elixir. Most of the time I feel like just matching against Map data structure or records.

While Dialyzer is great, writing the typespecs is a bit of a maintenance overhead. I suppose it's a tradeoff...

> I came to Elixir from Scala, [..] now I don't have to deal with the half of the Scala community that tries to make Scala into Haskell.

IMO Scala will continue to be a multi-paradigm lang. On pure-FP and libs, it's a choice and really depends on the problem domain. It might not be a good solution to everyone, but I'm glad it exists.
> A big enough tax on fast food could probably cover it

Exactly this kind of statement is what worries some about universal healthcare. I highly support single payer, universal healthcare. But statements like this undermine the cause by feeding fuel to the idea universal healthcare will inherently lead to more government intrusion into your personal decisions.
> Most of the above features don't need constant monitoring

The above features flat out aren't available in the Electron based editors people like to call IDE's now.

Im not talking about how possible it is to implement them - I'm explaining why I accept the overhead of a JVM based IDE, but won't accept an Electron one: the JVM one (JetBrains IDEA) has those features, none of the other options on macOS have them.
No, he's right. "You do realize" always makes you sound like a jerk. You know very well that the person doesn't realize whatever it is, and you're rubbing their nose in it. If you intend to sound like a jerk, it's a fine go-to, but if not it should be avoided.
