My wife and I have a small hybrid commuter car (we'd probably have an EV if we could reasonably install a charger at our Condo). When we go on a significant trip, we generally rent a bigger car or minivan for a more comfortable trip.

We get the advantage of an easy to park and fuel efficient car for the daily commute, but also can take advantage of a larger car for the big trips.

Google makes money from the web. Massive amounts of money. Something like 93% of their revenue. If WebAssembly leads to the decline of mobile apps, the amount of resources that Google spent on PNaCl is so tiny compared to the amount they will make by continuing to own the world of online advertising.
Yeah I would say so. Here are a couple of animations that I made in Keynote to show how the web app could be structured

For small teams, this can definitely be true. At least in the beginning.

For better or worse, the native app UX advantage still pays off massively in real dollars. And with walled gardens like Facebook and Google AMP growing so quickly, building a native app of your own is often the best chance to capture an audience.

There's a Radiolab podcast about Guadeloupean raccoons, where they're considered almost sacred even though they're as pesky as in the US. I found the locals discussing their attitude to the incredulity of the Radiolab hosts quite amusing.

HTTP/2 push is totally the problem browsers have today.

Not the damn CPU usage, not the enormous RAM consumption.
Streaming means parsing a bunch of untrusted data. What if ffmpeg/gstreamer/Clementine has a security issue? It happened before.

With a Chrome App, it sits in a (really strong) sandbox and would need to escape the sandbox first.

With a native app, it's game over.

Well, I took the route you suggested (the CS program). I liked to program when I entered, but most of that joy is gone now. I had the same in high school with reading.

I might be downplaying CS programs, I just experienced one of them. In that program, I had no chance to learn compilers, operating systems, electronic circuits, assembly language, or any math. In hindsight, I'm not sure if this was the right choice. I did learn about those topics, but just in my spare time. I was able to pass my CS program while barely going to lectures (which may sound nice, but in practice I did not make any friends; it was a terrible time). I could just as well learn this on the side while studying something that is intrinsically more interesting, like physics or electrical engineering.

At the other hand, I was able to double major, and it's not hard for me to find a job now.
That rings true - I had a VW, so probably the same engine as in an Audi. I had to replace the turbo at about 100k miles. It cost me £700.
World changing products often don't come from just billionaires, they come from all over. Billionaires just tend to be the ones that are good at monetizing them. Others are good at doing other things with them. How many valedictorians won a Nobel, Pulitzer, etc.?
But Japan's not really full of raccoons. I've never seen a raccoon in ~4 years here and I've seen 30+ wild tanukis (up to 10 or so could have been the same ones). It also states in the article that Hokkaido has been killing off 2,000 raccoons per year because of the agricultural loss due to raccoons. With that being said I've only seen 2 wild raccoons in America in 25 years so maybe they're just much better at hiding than tanukis.

This has a lot of potential.

This fist stage is a blow to the Google data monopoly.

I obviously don't know if there's a second stage, but there might be, if this spreads awareness that private coroporations store everything they do online—if it makes Americans more privacy conscious—there could be a second stage.

The second stage would be to introduce strong privacy regulations applied to everyone. This, again, would hurt Google more than the ISPs.

To someone like me who doesn't think Google can ever be hurt enough, this looks like a good law.
Software vendors often prevent you from transfering the license from an old PC to a new PC. I don't know what's the legal ground for that (outside of OEM product). For instance Microsoft will not let you activate an Office 2010 license anymore.
To be fair I have backpacked around the world and lived on 10$ a day on food and I could have lived on $5 if I didn't indulge. I even have maintained a high level of fitness and good muscle mass this way, so I was consuming well above survival rate of nutrition.

Additionally, I was travelling most of the time in developed countries, and not selecting cheapest options. And certainly was buying small amounts at retail prices.

So say 2$ a day as an aggressive estimate of what can keep an average person alive.

@ 2$ per person you can feed the world for 5 trillion a year. That's not even 7% of global GDP, and it's not even including home production.

So with 7% of global production we can feed every single person--as an upper level estimate. I would bet it's possible to get below 50c per person.

That's not a cheap price?

I find the I'm much less productive on pgAdmin 4 compared to MySQL Workbench 6. On my machine the web-like interface that pgAdmin uses since version 4 seems rather unresponsive. It's still a relatively new product though, I'm sure it will perform better over time.
This is absolutely terrific! I often work with csv or tsv and large data, and I just want to quickly look at it without loading excel or exporting to google sheets. https://atom.io/packages/tablr Tablr for Atom is good too. One feature request. I very often get data in JSON format (then convert to csv), it would be amazing to also support JSON. Thanks for sharing.
The EULA almost certainly contains a provision [..]

That's begging the question. The question is whether any provision in the EULA is relevant at all.

I concede on all your 3 points. I did not think.
If this wraps 120k lines of actual TeX backbones, why write the API layer in Rust at all? Yet another dependency, just to be buzzword compliant?

We've come a long way since the original literate TeX program.
I agree with most comments which say that the modular approach is good for maintainability. But what about performance that takes a hit when the JS is creating and linking styles. Also, browser caching of styles is not possible in these cases.
3Dxpoint is essentially a faster flash with all the problems of NAND cells. Its not memory-like with limited write endurance.

I couldn't see any way to export data, once I had filtered or pivoted it.

Is this supported at all, or do I need to use the copy mechanism? I have a ~4GB file to filter down and analyse, and this almost looks like a nice tool for business users to use to explore the data themselves, but they need to be able to export to excel at some point.
It's a general rule that everyone follows. Things should always be sync or async, not a mix of both.
How do you get that high? Is that including eg cpu caches or just browser?
You should definitely try Delimit (http://www.delimitware.com), I was impressed how easy I could handle >1 mil rows with it.
Not related to the aforementioned Bluebird feature, but I think that's the very reason the promise spec allows you to specify an error callback as the second argument to .then. I guess you can always fallback to an if/switch statement if it's a concern (which is what you'd do with await and try/catch).

How did you afford to live on $5-$10 a day in developed countries?

Mainly for the cascaded pivot option.

First remarks :
- Requires \n or \r\n end line, not working with \r

- Requires comma as separator (not possible to change it or I don't find how)

- Does not support (for exemple) ANSI encoding
Not in my experience. I believe the placement is random (in particular, that the distance from you to the Pokémon was simply randomized). It does "feel" like they're placed "in a way that makes sense", because the image is an overlay on top of camera feed - which guarantees it is on top of everything in the camera feed, and the brain will play tricks to make sense of the picture. It works especially well if you don't have the feel for how big the Pokémon should be compared to the environment (most of us don't). See also, "perspective optical illusions" as a search keyphrase.

Also, again from what I remember when playing ~6 months ago, the Pokémon placement in AR mode locks orientation and distance. So walking forward is literally the same as standing still - only the background camera feed changes, but Pokémon and its animation isn't affected in any way. This again supports the theory that placement is random and totally unrelated to "real world".

> Google wasted huge resources on an approach which it was obvious from the beginning would never lead to a Web standard

Google has been doing this for a long time, I doubt it's unintentional. If there is functionality that they want which is not standardized, they go ahead and implement it. When a workable standard is ready or detailed enough, they switch over to it. The earliest instance of this that I can recall was Google Gears, which was deprecated by LocalStorage. There probably are earlier examples.

It uses lexical scoping, so it probably would mess up traces.
If chargers become widely available then this is only a consideration for long road trips. Otherwise your car can be charging at practically any time it's not being driven. Meaning it stays near full battery most of the time you start driving. That's not true for gas; you don't have a gas line connected to your tank in every parking lot.

Teslas have a driving range of ~200 miles or something like that right? After driving 200 miles, most people are happy to stop and stretch their legs for 15-20 minutes. Tesla superchargers take about 30 minutes to charge your battery most of the way. Drive another 200 miles and you're ready for lunch or dinner, which could be a ~1 hour break, if you're not getting drive-thru and a chance for a much longer charge.

The only limiting factors I see are cost, the availability of charging options (and density of locations) and charging for apartment dwellers. Charge times are probably "good enough" already and likely to get better.
I was playing around a little more and I noticed that stack sets the following
ghc-options by default:

-threaded -rtsopts -with-rtsopts=-N

which I assumed explained some of the speedup, so I disabled them and got a
reduction to 99% cpu as expected, but unexpectedly the single threaded version
was about twice as fast:

Ask HN: Have you introduced Netflix Vizceral into your Application/Network?
Hi HN!, I am currently doing some research around implementing Netflix Vizceral into our application & network infrastructure to give better intuitive visibility of the overall health of all nodes. Have you done this with your applications / networks? and do you think this have given you a better visibility and intuitive understanding of problems in your stack and help identifying issues before they become critical.
Question to spark discussion and for me to fill potential gaps in my knowledge, not to criticize the article as I very much appreciate the transparency and build-up from the simple naive initial approach to the final approach used in production:

Is anyone else bothered by the claim that there "is a 100% chance that the new version is better than the current one" shown by using bootstrap? Maybe I've just never come across such a use of bootstrap through my encounters with statistics. I know it as a tool for resampling from a population to build up properties of your estimator (mean, variance, what have you) when all you have is a dataset and no clue about the actual distribution. When I saw bootstrap with that probabilistic claim, I thought the author would calculate a bootstrapped (100-x)% confidence interval for both the current and the new weights: and if the intervals didn't overlap with one another then you can claim with (100-x)% certainty that one is better than the other. But the author creates a new statistic that is a function of both datasets; Z_i = 1 if new is better than current on iteration i (on a random subset of data) else 0, and for all N=10000 iterations Z_i = 1. The chance/probabilistic claim made of new being better than current is based on the fact that no variation was seen on Z_i (I'm also kind of skeptical that out of so many iterations with random subsets that each time the new weights were better than the current). I think at most you can say that you simulated subsets of the data and 100% of the time new > current; the current claim leads me to believe there's inference that isn't there.

Maybe I should just ask one of my past stats profs. Open to someone enlightening me.

I'd be more than happy to believe you if the comments in this thread weren't for the most part confirming my experience. On the other hand I'm more than willing to believe that there are plenty of places where none of this applies (though, I haven't seen them) and where with some slight variation you could get a lot of mileage out of these methods.

Because if the only extra constraint would be 'you can't halt development' then that's easy enough: simply iterate on smaller pieces and slip in the occasional roadmap item to grease the wheels. But that does assume that development had not yet ground to a halt in the first place.

The biggest difference between your experience and my experience I think is that our little band of friends is external, so we get to negotiate up front about what the constraints are and if we put two scenarios on the table, one of which is ~70% cheaper because we temporarily halt development completely then that is the most likely option for the customer to take.
"It works on any tabular data source."

Just on that point, Excel allows you to define the field delimiter on import of text files and handles a ton of different formats out of the box, so I doubt this is a point where Tad is better than Excel (though Tad does look promising as a tool to quickly check data files).

So true, well I have a question, my plan is to work for 2 years in R&D and curate a story line telling how now that I know the technical part I would like to learn more about management part. Or should I make the story about the startup I am working on which is in the energy sector, showcasing how I grew the company from what it is to what it became?
What do you think will look more appealing for the MBA colleges a kid who built a small startup(might become successful but fewer chances, also it can fail too ) or a kid who worked at a Fortune 50 company for 2 years as R&D Engineer and learned the technologies good enough? Honest opinion
I think you're wildly overestimating the intelligence and awareness of the general population.

The media is and has been doing this for decades. If they do it in a totally obvious and outright manner, then yeah, everyone's going to notice, but if they do it in a more subtle way and push their agenda over a longer timeframe, most people won't notice that, or they'll only notice it when it's too late.
It's not about brainwashing everyone. All you need is a critical mass and once you're there, you've basically won.

Most people lack critical thinking abilities and they're rather contend with having other people think for them. You don't notice this here on HN because the readers and commenters here are far smarter than the average person is.

Nice. I've seen quite a few immutable update utility libs out there. This bears some similarities to others I've seen, but looks like there's some differences as well. My only immediate concern would be the dependency on Lodash, but admittedly many projects will already have that in use already.

I'll also note I actually already had this added to the "Immutable Data#Immutable Update Utilities" section of my Redux addons catalog :) https://github.com/markerikson/redux-ecosystem-links/blob/ma...
Definitely give Libre office a chance it's a great free alternative office suite.

Does your argument hold if you consider that input to the brain is limited to the reception of electromagnetic/mechanical waves through a set of sensors, being the fact that one can transmit speech (and Godel sentences) through those sensors is just a higher level abstraction?

Put in another way: Couldn't I in principle define such a circumscribed system with all axioms and inference rules by including all of those sensors and all of their possible states into the system?
I don't think math majors consider statistics a math course.

I should note that I did study a year in California. There, the computer science was much harder, and the math was much easier (scored straight A's in math courses literally without any effort, and nearly failed the operating systems course that I took).
I think the eventual goal is to rewrite the backend in Rust, and to make that available as a library to other applications.
