Howdy everyone. I'm author of devist. It's an open-source, Ruby/Gem, release notes generator. How it works? Simply, if you are developer, having a typical `changelog.md` inside your project repository, and if you follow the format of the -.md- file, just write `devist changelog` and this tool will convert the changelog.md to beautiful HTML page.

You may create a custom theme, the -.md- format is readable in raw & [git]hub/lab flowered. Devist also support an API that you can use for integration on Ruby/Rails, Project deployment/Capistrano etc. The project offers a stand-alone CLI that you may use for own procedures or internally through the project/shellxec.

I'm open for ideas. Just wanted to share this since I saw couple of such tools on ProductHunt lately based on subscription.

Cheers.
react is literally the opposite of what the parent described. It's a huge convoluted ecosystem that requires many new tools to use effectively and almost everything in the stack is complex to learn.

compare to something like https://github.com/yoshuawuyts/choo which is actually tiny and simple
Don't you have to be well-versed in Christianity to recognise the allegory? How does that promote Christianity, perhaps to 'reinforce it for those raised as Christians'?

There's no doubting they were written in an overtly Christian context; does the author speak about using the allegory as a means of proselytising? Or, is that conjecture?
From what I've seen about reddit is a few things:

1. They have some weird policies about how they want their employees to work. At one point of time they were ok with being remote, then they moved everyone to SFO or told them to pound sand.
2. Scaling issues: Seems like that's an after thought and only gets addressed "when it happens"* (Never thought put in after the fact)
3. The Modmail.. it's bad when you're dealing with lots of it. There are features completely lacking. (Like searching, or a CRM for users and how they contacted the mods)
4. The non-obvious spam.. it's gotten worse now that they took down r/spam.
The Featured Article. (There are echoes of another F-word in there, mostly from the older abbreviation RTFM, but they are rather faint.)
And TOR is no longer (was it before, I don't know) a secure tool.
Amazon.com? Ebay? Hard to think of any major development at either in recent years
This is not how markets work. Once the "self-driving capabilities are perfect and legal":

- investing in such a fleet would be like investing in any other kind of business: it's easier if you have the money, but if not you can go to any bank and get a loan.

- prices for a trip with a self-driving taxi will drop immensely, this is probably going to be a big liability if you would start the aforementioned business

- other effects that I can't think of right now

It is true that in a lot of places rich people have an edge on the less-wealthy (it's easier getting/staying rich if you are rich), but that's more of a generic problem than something that would be amplified by change to self-driving cars.
As others have said, I found it surprising that the change in rate with time scale compared was surprising. Simon Ho's paper is downloadable (link in OA) and it has a mathematical framework for his discussion. I'm not sure if the argument is accessible to non-specialists but I'll have a read.

Rabbit hole warning: Björn Kurtén the Finnish paleontologist whose work on horse fossils was cited early in the OA turns out to be a very interesting character. He wrote what he described as a 'paleonovel' about encounters between CroMagnon and Neandertal people...

Infinite loop after exit(0)
I have experimented with various at-home PCB production techniques: engraving, toner transfer, UV litography. The main limitation for all of these is fine pitch parts (less than 0.5mm) and plated holes (vias and through holes). The fine pitch part can be solved relatively easily (have a better mask for litography, have a finer engraving bit) but I am not aware of easy solutions for plating holes.

I have settled on Chinese board houses- you get very good PCBs with plated holes, soldermask and silkscreen- for 50USD and two weeks in total.

I have spent countless hours debugging copper whiskers shorting traces together- something which I have only seen on self-made PCB.

How can you trust the person after the farce called Hyperloop? Have he invested in it financially?

Isn't it pretty clear that these "grand enterprises" are a cheap pr trick to stay relevant and attract more investor money to his other real businesses?

I wouldn't have doubted if he had really followed through the Hyperloop thing. But after that, I wonder how anyone can fall for these things!
Also, the weird English custom to capitalize most words in titles, but not in normal sentences, adds to the confusion here.
Probably reading too much into it. The things you mention should be taken care by OS, app should not even be aware they are available.
New guides and insets help if you use new header styles, which cant take a lot of space.
Fo those who didn't read the linked thread, here's the nugget (answered by Ian Lance Taylor):

> Why not just panic, though? And why the infinite loop, I wonder?

The runtime is a special case in many ways, and this is among the more
special parts. This loop exists to catch problems while testing new
ports. If that loop is ever reached, something has gone badly wrong:
the exit call should have caused the program to exit. We can't assume
that panic is working. We can't really assume that anything is
working. What we want to do is stop the program. Since exit failed,
it's possible that a nil dereference will succeed. If that fails too,
we still have to do something, so we just loop. We can't return
because this is the main function that started the program; there is
nothing to return to.
You've never been temporary blinded by a low-sun? Never sneezed and had your eyes closed at the wrong moment?

Another hint is they made the reception indicator less wide (went back to bars from dots)
That's interesting. Still no volcanoes (or other seismic activity) has been observed on mars, so it's pretty safe to say it's not something to worry about.
Ask HN: Online web crawling services that are affordable and support UTF-8
Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend any web crawling services that support UTF-8,

I've had issues with 80legs not supporting that when I used it some years ago, which gave me results which I couldn't use unfortunately.

Ideally I would be looking to pay less than £100 to crawl a site with a large number of pages.

Any advice would be most appreciated!

Cheers
Amazon paid taxes for the benefit of existing in the US, or didn't it? That's what you call the "land of the free"?
Once AI gets as smart as us, it will likely start to make similar mistakes.
Cruise is also using Lidar which provides depth sensing[1]. You can do depth sensing with cameras, but that requires building depth maps from multiple cameras (like eyes) and still being able to interpret the depth map with computer vision. Capturing depth is definitely possible with monocular cameras (because humans can do it), but it seems like lidar works a lot more accurately.

Would multiple editions be worth the effort? I can see that having them might be useful to some few people but creating a new version of On Liberty would be a substantial amount of work even if it could be done algorithmically because of the proof-reading required to make sure that it conveyed the same meaning as the original.

Are there many people who would struggle to read the original who are nonetheless sufficiently interested that they would read a 'simplified' version?

Could be Advertising. Reddit could do a lot better in helping advertisers spend money with them.

I've been comparing Facebook's Advertiser tools and options with Reddit's. Reddit is miles behind, in terms of making it easy to try different campaigns, different headlines, different messages.
Think they remove ending space.
Maybe some want to have some work done instead of endless discussions and coffee table buzz?
Remote tools work very well, and what's more: you have logs, even you were not present at the time. You get a nice async mode without falling out of the loop.
Still, making the compiler do whatever the hell it wants because "hey it's undefined behavior so we have the license to" is just as idiotic. Make the compilation fail and then add a flag to override for those who feel extra smart.
If you are interested in following this idea even further, try Reagent in Clojurescript out. It works in the same way - it's all data.

An example:

(let [greeting [:div {:style {:background "green"}} "hello"]]
[:section#hi-there greeting])

Just a little bit of data!
I first encountered Turkish Delight through the Fry's product advertising - a sultry lady scantily dressed, as if from a harem, the product on a silver platter, a Bedouin looking fellow in flowing robes, he cuts the confection with a shining scimitar, "full of Eastern promise". Bleurgh, hated the stuff; enchanted by the advert though.

I can't recall but I don't think I made a connection between that and the book, as a child I just read it as him being offered sweets by a stranger (something we'd been warned of specifically).
The Contrast Rebellion
There is one point I do not understand in your criticism: Musk makes it pretty clear that the plan includes a return ticket for anyone going to Mars. It does not seem hard to extend that to any child of colonist that would want to go back to earth.
There's a Swiss company making impeccably high-quality versions of the HP Voyager calculators, based on a modern ARM processor. Well worth checking out if you're in the market for a 12C.

Yeah, if it's made by Microsoft - let's ignore it: https://github.com/Microsoft/automatic-graph-layout
There are already newer versions, Yolov2 and DSSD. See http://github.com/sbrugman/deep-learning-papers

In practice Faster R-CNN worked better for me than YOLOv2 as it, in contrast to what is reported in the paper, had a higher recall for the detect task I used it for.
This is just false. China has a massive censorship operation, of which their wry advanced anti firewall technology is a critical piece.

You must be joking. There is a lot in the line for an academic journal and its website. First one need an submission and review system, after a paper accepted there is proofreading and art department, and editors also need to decide whether to invite someone write a commentary on which paper, and subsequent comment and response section if a paper raise questions/interest, then billing department and production for the physical magazines who also handle the preprints(EDIT: should be "reprints"). Finally the website platform which keeps all those digital versions of current and previous publications. I am just talking about this from an end user point of view, and I believe there are other things behind curtain we are not familiar such as deciding the future directions of a journal, writing press release, etc. Also journals do promote themselves, which inevitable incur costs.
Does genetic variation rise in response to selective pressure?

It seems to me that this is a two stage process.

1. Variation is introduced at a fairly constant rate by mutation.
2. Variation is filtered out by natural selection based on how well it fits the environment.

The shocks occur when the environment changes so that the criteria for fit change and new variations survive for the long term.

So when we look at evolution we see a rate of change driven by the rate of mutation.

When we look at the long term we see a rate of change driven by the environment.
NO. DO NOT ALLOW THIS. GUYS, YOU CANNOT ALLOW THIS.
What if I want to browse a site without Javascript? Will I just see an empty page? Why is page structure (for which a language already exists) being moved to a language designed to assist the language providing the page structure? What is the benefit of this aside from writing everything in a programming language as code which your users have to run, esentially making them run arbitrary code on their own computers?
This is stupid. Use HTML. HTML exists for a reason. It is not pretty, I know, but at least it's used for its intended purpose. I don't want to visit $website and have to enable Javascript. Content can exist with just HTML and CSS. Enough of this hipster "Javascript is cool and awesome and amazing" crap.

EDIT: To add to this, I need to enable Javascript on celljs.org, then wait 3 SECONDS for the page to load because they use their own "not a framework" to build the page instead of just using HTML.

The chances that you'd get responses to your question would be higher if you explained why you're asking the question.

Also, I doubt there are any popular libraries with ^crappy^ documentation. why even use such a strongly negative word?... Disagree that it is strongly negative? Well I think your question is crappy.
do you have any spinning disks around that once may have had the unencrypted keys on it? I could modify the commercial data recovery software I wrote (https://macosxfilerecovery.com/) to scan your drive for the private keys
What's the hype here. It's a curated model zoo, or?
I have about 18K miles on my Model S with the first-generation sensor package. I live and drive in New England.

The lane-holding feature (autosteer) does expect you to keep slight pressure on the wheel. It has, that I can discern, four modes ...

freeway following (another vehicle in front)
freeway leading
nonfreeway following
nonfreeway leading.

Only in the first case, you have five minutes before it starts pestering you to hold the wheel. In the other cases it's one minute.

Lane holding and adaptive cruise control in freeway following mode is a WONDERFUL feature. It drastically reduces the driver's workload in heavy traffic. And, it has speed control features that contribute to the melting of compression-wave traffic jams.

Lane holding can be a little squirrely when the road surface is dirty. I think the car sometimes mistakes tire marks for lane markings. There are parts of my regular route where I just take over from lane holding.

Snow or heavy rain? the lane holding feature goes first, then the adaptive cruise control. Snow, rain, or frost on the windshield interferes with the forward looking camera. Snow or ice on the nose interferes with the radar. Ice on the bumpers interferes with the near-field sonar proximity sensors.

Autonomous driving on the Stanford campus and up Sand Hill Road is one thing. Autonomous driving in a nor'easter snowstorm on winding Atlantic Coast roads is another. We shall see.

I admire and support people who tackle hard problems fearlessly. Tesla's doing that.
They've been dicking about with it making it harder to choose the mobile version. One time, earlier this year, I got a "use the app" screen with no option to continue - you could block the overlay though.

Recently they added a useless interstitial.

It's interesting to me they say the app is faster; presumably they're artificially slowing the mobile site just to push app installs.
I think that with tesla's wireless software updating capabilities they'll continue to improve the software over time after you buy the car.
Knowing what the actual units do, I prefer spelling out the acronym as Long Short-Term Memory. They implement short-term memory, like all RNNs do, with a slight improvement to make it long.
That's basically what I use Charles/Burp for, cool to know that Firefox can do that in dev tools.
OpenSSL by far.
Autopilot for Batteries. What I wonder is, why isn't anyone building self driving batteries that park near the road and can follow you and give you more range if needed. They only would need to implement some kind of follow mode witch should be relatively easy. Cars could be build light and inexpensive and at the same time come with infinitive range.

Is it not possible to plot an interstellar course that utilizes gravity for deceleration?
Awesome. I do think all publicly funded research papers should be available. Research done by private companies using their own funds however shouldn't be.

Maybe if America had open access, things would of turned out a lot better for Aaron Swartz :(
>If something planet-scale happens while we wait on a single planet, the entire species would not make it

On the other hand, the list of disasters that would leave Earth less inhabitable than Mars without also destroying any Mars colony is pretty rare. If human survival is the primary goal, it might be best to work on perfecting that sort of self contained habitat somewhere in the remote parts of Earth.
That wasn't a feature.
Maybe 15 years ago, but today it's very sophisticated, incorporating deep packet inspection and machine learning. Under normal circumstances, they allow some VPN traffic. But they ramp up the firewall during big political events, at which times it's almost impossible to gain proper connectivity.
IMHO airplanes demonstrate the exact opposite. A plane can not only potentially fly the entire flight path on its own, it can also autonomously land. The reason why pilots still hand fly planes is 1) because the whole process is not automatic and you are still receiving directions from an ATC, and 2) to keep their proficiency in controlling the plane.

Numerous times I've seen pilots complain that their employer requires autopilot to be used wherever possible, while they would like to fly the plane by themselves occasionally.

If we polished off the autopilot to also handle take-off and taxi, and installed it in every single plane that exists, I'm pretty sure the entire aviation industry could be completely automated.
Thanks I had no idea that i.reddit existed. It's so much better than the standard mobile version. I don't understand why they don't focus on making reddit fast and reliable.

Making it beautiful with nice animations should come second and the mobile version still crash a few times a day for me.
Self-driving cars' marketing pitch is that they could reduce road accidents,
but if we really want to reduce road accidents, might we not have a better
chance at it if we removed cars from roads altogether? We could replace them
with, I don't know, some kind of overground system of personal pods on rails,
or something like that.

I think one big selling point of cars has always been that they grant the user
a great amount of autonomy (unprecedented, in their time, taken for granted
nowadays). You can ride your car and go anywhere you like! The cost of that
autonomy of course is that some of us will be killed or maimed in road
accidents, because you can't give silly little monkeys autonomy behind the
controls of big powerful machines without death and carnage ensuing.

Self-driving cars propose to reduce this risk of death and injury by taking
away the autonomy we traded it for in the first place. What remains would be
just a mindless automatic system carting the user to and fro. Well, in that
case- we don't need to wait around for full level-5 autonomy. We already have
dumb machines that can do that: trains, trams, all sorts of vehicles-on-rails.

Why do we need self-driving cars, then?

Answer: we don't. And I haven't for a moment believed that any of this is
anything to do with road safety. Note that nobody even discusses the other 900
pound gorilla in the room: pollution.

Guess what? Taking cars off roads completely would also reduce air and noise
pollution tremendously.
I dare you when you use your real name to criticize a recent paper of top guru in field is total garbage and never has a moment worrying about subsequent funding application which the guru usually serves the reviewing board.
I think colonizing other planets may be one of the most important means we have for addressing systematic problems on earth:

Populating new places can enable a new start and experimentation with new forms of social organisation. Escape from the momentum of tradition.

This isn't just speculation. We've already seen demonstrations of this, like the founding of the United States and the democratic system they put in place there.

This sort of thing could help us address the sort of problems you mention. Like with the case of the US, successful new ideas can be transplanted back to other places.

Also the fact that in the long term colonization may help with overpopulation on Earth.

Re 1. if they're working on moderation code then they should get their hands dirty regularly.
Maybe it's just me, but I never got around liking the jQuery documentation. Its not bad - but visually too heavy, not easy to navigate and the example code is often not very consistent. Counterexample: The lodash documentation.

Sidenote: A very nice project that aggregates many API documentations and puts them into a coherent style and nice UX is http://devdocs.io/
Thanks! I'll be honest, cell is only a couple of days old, and I myself can't say what The best practices are.

And this is by design because the goal was to create complexity out of simplicity.

I believe this bottom up approach can be much more scalable in the long run than some frameworks that dictate every single detail you need to implement, because all organisms are basically built that way (cells make up body) and they seem to be working fine.

Personally the more I use this the more I find creative ways of using it, which is the beauty.

But I also do realize sometimes it's good to have some sort of "best practice" structure and I think people will figure it out eventually.

TLDR: I think you should be able to build all kinds of sophisticated apps with it because I believe emergence is the best way to construct something. if that's not the case, that doesn't mean the framework is a failure but just needs some tuning, which I believe is totally possible just because the library is so minimal. So please feel free to play with it and share if you run into trouble, we can evolve cell just like cells evolve in the real world.
1% seems like a huge number here.
Those aren't too bad (out of context of the Tesla article), I can see how the ai might misinterpret those images. The bagel one, for example, is pretty on point.
At worst they could call Tesla and ask for permission and a separate license agreement. I'd expect Tesla to agree in any of those cases.
Maybe not the most popular, but the Microsoft UCWA documentation is atrocious. Really, anything surrounding Lync/Skype for Business - so much of it is undocumented, and what is documented is often incorrect.
Ultimate guide, sure as hell. Only that it boils down to “use Trello and our own time management tool”.

Not sure why this ended up on the frontpage.
It's the JS. And you can't use it without JS either.
