I think that Tom Dale made a pretty good argument of why to avoid CoffeeScript as part of his argument for TypeScript.

"For example, CoffeeScript adopted for..of loops to iterate over the properties of an object. Meanwhile, ES6 introduced its own for..of loops as a way to loop through iterable objects. If CoffeeScript wants to support new functionality with similar syntax like this, it has two choices: break existing CoffeeScript code, or diverge from JavaScript more and more over time."

I think it's the author's fault for switching between probabilities and odds and the readers for not recognizing the switch.

"Thus A’s chance of being condemned remains twice that of being pardoned."

When he says this, he is talking of odds of 2:1 and therefore, the probability of not being condemned is 1/1+2 = 1/3

Also when he says "Because, unlike in Monty Hall, the intuitive judgment is the correct one in Mosteller’s puzzle." He means the intuitive judgment that 1/2 is incorrect.

I was extremely confused the first 2-3 times I read it and kept trying to understand the author's viewpoint because everything other than these two statement seemed to make sense. At least I wasn't the only one.
I'm not quite sure how you get from "this can be misread" to "break their stubbornness or isolate them". Are people who might be put off by the title "stubborn"?

The data space around this is so complex, it is simply not possible to come to single, clear conclusions.

Lots of interesting questions, no answers to date:

1., Did the introduction of electricity and mass refrigeration amplify/cause the deterioration of public health?

2., Did the massive losses of young, fit, male population in WW1 and WW2 lead to the decline of public health in the partaking nations? It stopped fine genetic material from procreating (you needed to fulfill health standards to serve after all). Losses of that scale were not encountered before.

etc etc.

This comes off a little aggressive to me. People should be able to provide opinions and anecdotes on HN without the constant "citation needed" for everything. We all know everything isn't fully backed by 4 studies that will be presented here and now. Just say you disagree and offer why. It will probably be an anecdote too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVX-512#New_instructions_in_AV...

The instruction set info on that page is 2-3 years old, nothing has changed since then.

I've seen those tables at least a year before the KL launch they were also available on Intel's webiste (the blog irrc) at least a year before KL.

I don't know who told you that that information is embargoed.

EDIT: The inital table was here: http://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2013/avx-512-instructi... the blog post no longer exists, try archive.is

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/performance-tools-...
"The instruction groups common to both the Intel Xeon Phi processor x200 and the Intel Xeon processor are AVX-512F and AVX-512CD. The AVX-512ER and AVX-512PF groups are implemented in the Intel Xeon Phi processor x200 only. The AVX-512BW, AVX-512DQ and AVX-512VL groups are implemented only in the Intel Xeon processor."

https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/additional-avx-512-in... This used to lead to a PDF with the tables, the PDF is still there but it's a living document which is updated every time, the latest revision was in 2017 but as early as 2014 there was already a split into COMMON-AVX512, MIC-AVX512, CORE-AVX512 with a difference between future Xeon Phi and Xeon processors.

This is why you should use pseudonyms and strive for anonymity. It's trivial to signup to Hackernews under an assumed name, or handle, and start venting on contentious issues. Hackernews might shadow-ban your throwaway account, so you might have to lurk moar and share some interesting links before you can comment without being censored. I know from experience. Last time I checked, HN has no strict policy on multiple accounts and you can do this very easily.

In terms of OPSEC, you obviously shouldn't contaminate your real iden with your anon iden, or contaminate your anon idens with other anon idens. You should also deliberately alter the stylometry of your writing so nobody can link two pieces of text to each other. Anonymouth[0] is my favorite tool for doing just that.

Hey, I see that you claim to have 4 billion records. Could you talk a bit about your verification process for said records?

My private collection has a bit over 5B records atm (and presumably largely the same data) but I would never advertise a service with that number as I know for a fact that various databases contain millions of generated entries.

The results for queries like "00000000000000000000023@inbox.ru" seem to indicate that you have large amounts of bullshit data included in that figure.
>life expectancy at age 5

This is the catch. The kid with asthma or diabetes didn't make it to age 5 back then, but today he does. Replace asthma or diabetes with other conditions. If your higher infant mortality is weeding out everyone who has any chronic disease which may effect longevity then this is what you get. The downside is that parents back then were burying a lot of babies.

I had a recruiter who called me in the mid-90's. It was pretty obvious I wasn't ready to leave yet, but we struck up a conversation and she called back a couple of times. She did have a basic grasp of the technology, but there were a lot of technologies, much like today, and understanding if an OWL programmer could adapt to a place using MFC was a challenge to recruiters. HR and the computer industry loves buzzwords, so its no surprise recruiters end up using them with about the same understanding.

I guess I always preferred teaching to help enhance the relationship from my side. My being a nice guy and teacher, did help when I wanted to leave.

I work to live and distribute time to items which nourish my soul and encourage family wellness. Working towards these goals creates a feedback of contentment for me - I'm in a good place and very happy about who and where I am.

I've learned over time that means activities which give you energy: physical fitness, creativity and relationship time (parenthood, spouse, friends, other family etc) and less activities which draw energy from you, inebriation, excessive video games, excess in any form (for example gluttony or work) etc.

I used to try to do projects 'for the money' in my spare time and inevitably I would give up on them. For me, money is not a main driver. I have enough, and toiling extra hours has no benefit for me.

Afaik there is no meta data scrapped (technically I think some HTML meta tags are scrapped but not sure if used).

There is machine-learning in the annotations - categories rely on a (cross lingual) text classifier, entities rely on matching to Wikipedia articles, maybe a bunch of small other things to - I don't know all the details - there are some papers published about it.
There are internal message board systems in Microsoft shops (i.e. Sitrion on SharePoint) that struggle to achieve 2,3,4,5,6,7,9. Despite beefy servers and huge $$$, still slow and lame.
Yep. That was exactly my thought.

Everything old is new again. (And Usenet is even still there.)

I'm still convinced that Usenet gets ignored precisely because it is federated and mature - it is harder to extract nickels from than a centralized service; user-surveillance and other ad-related choke points are fragmented, it works already, there are already robust end-user filters.

(I also believe Twitter should have been an RFC, not a startup.)

For anyone who wants to build similar stuff for internal use - NNTP is probably not going to be the right choice unless you have a large number of sites. For a startup, IMAP has everything you need built-in for shared, threaded group messaging that looks a fair-bit like usenet (from the client's perspective). If you don't have strong ideas about UI or workflow, you can use an MTA to read and respond, and you're done. If you want your own UI, there are a huge number of IMAP libraries out there for just about any language you want to use.

"Old" tech is a goldmine.
Curious way to look at it! Do you find it helps you in preventing spending?

For me a big mental change was switching to pre-paid goal/checking-accounts for everything I need, and having big long term, aggressive goals. I do this with Simple "bank" (though I hope to find a more feature rich app to do it in the future). This helps me consistently feel "broke as hell", which has proved to be quite effective to saving. Furthermore, I plan all purchases weeks in advance and budget for everything, food, luxury, bills, etc.

Well, the KKK and Jim Crow supporters were a bit farther up the ladder of 'unpleasant'. 'Unpleasant' being used in the same meaning and tone as a southern lady saying "aren't you special".
Your argument boils down to, "If they agree to it, there's absolutely nothing wrong," which is an argument that I've never accepted before. A person in a position of power, which the studios are, taking advantage of young people to pay them below market wages (which these are, despite whatever you try to argue) and work them insane hours, is wrong, full stop. There is absolutely zero reason why game wages should be below regular development wages.
As long as the CEO of an company (RNC) that gives data to an outsourcer (Deep Root Analytics) is not going to jail to give data to an unqualified company, nothing will change.

If the CEO goes to jail, things will change very rapidly (CEO will manage his CMO much tighter who will first want to see an security audit not older than 6 months).

At least CEOs I have reported to as CTO were very sensitive for implemention issues in areas that could land them in jail.

Same for every other hacking (e.g. Sony) or IT failure (e.g. British Airlines crashed DC).
The uniqueness and diversity of individuals will soon be lost as everyone is forced to adopt the socially acceptable opinion or risk being exiled. Think about how many revolutionary ideas started on the fringes of society. Astronomy, America, Civil Rights.

The techno-utopia is always portrayed as some society where open mindedness and diversity are embraced. This is the paradox of modern political correctness. If the hivemind of society rejects you and your ideas, it is in fact not open at all.

Leveling up in the same org is all about the company's cost.

Some companies(especially bigger ones with names that attract new grads) will deny you a promotion if they believe you are cheap to replace(denying a promotion often leads to employee unsatisfaction which causes them to leave).

Most companies, especially if they are having problems finding new engineers, will just give you a promotion to keep you happy and because they can't afford the time and costs of losing and employee, find and train the next one.

However, I think the article is more about personal improvement than proper leveling up within an organization, in which case it's not about being noticed.

So I will like to know if I stand a chance thanks.
> HoFs are not array comprehensions and array comprehensions aren't supported in ES6.

Neither of these is a claim I made so I'm not sure why you feel the need to point these out.

However native HoF obviate much of the need for comprehensions, especially combined with terser "arrow functions". Languages like Smalltalk or Ruby do just fine without comprehensions for instance.

This.

I am pretty sure this is the case. I have worked with small and large teams. Large teams usually have a lot more abstraction in terms of their architecture. So there is most likely a "backend" app that is just an API and you consume it in your "frontend" (node, rails, etc) whatever that may be.

Frontend in this context is just another server that is communicating with backend APIs using RPC. When small teams think of frontend, they usually think about a framework like React, etc and pair it with a backend like Rails.

https://projectpiglet.com/

We are also specifically targeting investing, as opposed to a more broad market (for now).

Piglet, tracks top news stories, identifies how domain experts feel about said news stories (as well as general topics), and provides trend, sentiment, and net promoter tracking. We just launched a very rough MVP a few days ago.

If you're interested, on the first of every month, we send a survey. If completed, you will receive the next month free of charge. It's free as long as you keep providing feedback.

The canonical example in the standard library would be this one from the entire collections framework:

public Object[] toArray()
public <T> T[] toArray(T[])

You cannot turn an ArrayList<T> into a T[], for example, without passing a T[] into the function so that you can grab the type from the passed parameter at runtime. C#, which retains the generic information at runtime doesn't need this so you can just do

public T[] toArray()

The other place I've seen this come up is with Exceptions- you cannot catch a generic Exception. It's pretty annoying now that Java 8 has streams because you cannot have a checked exception abort out of processing a Stream unless you either 1) catch Exception (rather than the specific subclass) and deal with everything or 2) catch the checked exception in the lambda, wrap it in a runtime exception, rethrow it, and then catch the wrapped exception.
