I used to share this opinion as well, until I started working on an internal library that was created by a skilled developer. He had very good test coverage and good quality tests, which turned out invaluable, once I got on board. We tried to move to library towards being fully typed in TypeScript, just to get some experience with TypeScript. Our first thought before starting was, that it would help, but didn't expect it to have a significant impact. During the port to TypeScript (and being strict on typing everything possible), we soon found numerous unexpected behaviors in the code. Some of the issues found, could have been found by a linter, but other things like models changing over time was only found due to adding static types.

After this experience I changed my opinion towards the value of static types, from being more than a nice to have feature.
I'm confused by your statement. If "Ban != Access" then what's preventing courts from simply denying access (not a "Ban" under your assertion above) to people outside of prisons as well?
Missed your comment; I'm in West End, which is fully fibre but in two parts: most of the suburb is Telstra South Brisbane Fibre (which they built when the Qld Gov knocked down the old exchange to build a hospital), while all greenfields (apartments, e.g.) are NBN. My apartment is NBN Fibre with a dodgy company called MyPort (who were preinstalled in the building, but refuse to give me a critical information summary), while my office is Telstra Fibre with iiNet.

Both get 100 down, but Telstra Fibre only offers 5 up. The NBN on the other hand has 100/100 sync available if you want it.

The headline (and perhaps the article; I haven't read it since the headline is so bad) overstates the importance of the ruling.

The case involved someone on his state's sex offender registry. He was also prohibited from accessing social media sites, and got in trouble for posting a complaint about a traffic ticket on Facebook.

The actual ruling is that not allowing him on any social media site for any reason was too broad. Apparently the opinion makes comments about how important internet access is to modern society, which does give a hint about how the court might rule in the future, but a concurring opinion says there's no need to go off into the weeds for that discussion.

Those are the rates for something like Down's syndrome. Gross chromosomal abnormalities are mostly determined by maternal age.

Everyone has a few mutations in protein coding regions, and the number rises with paternal age. Most mutations are neutral or harmful.

More rolls of the dice to accumulate more (likely small) damage is probably going to hurt you.

The way it almost certainly works is people who have better genes (for socioeconomic success in our current society) have kids later and these kids inherit these traits....

However it would probably be better if the dad had the kids younger.

It's also easier for denovo mutations to cause mental rather than physical problems as the brain is very complex so there's more genes used and more to go wrong.

Piling a bunch of redundant libraries on top of each other, becoming confused, and drawing the conclusion that functional programming was the problem? Okay.
I started doing this recently by quitting my job, and I currently have no income.

There is this assumption that one must build a minimum viable product that has to be released as quickly as possible, so much that it's become startup mantra. It's no surprise that a lot of these products seem to be technically shallow, everyone is reaching for low hanging fruit.

I feel rather alone trying to do something that I think hasn't been done before, or if it had, wasn't executed well. I don't think I could possibly commit to it without having strong motivation, which I struggled with while having a full-time job.

The biggest technical/social challenge I have is to make something that a non-technical user could easily get right away and make something with it. I think the automation of web dev is an inevitability, and frameworks were just a historical blip on this path. The same thing is happening to web design. http://hypereum.com

This was a disappointing read, coming from such a large company, looking like a disposable blog post.

It makes it sound like front end development is about knowing CSS, react and redux, these are good options of tools for the job, not essential ones, especially when Vue and Angular are still big in the scene.

Maybe I'm wrong about my own profession, as some other comments said, it is often blurry and in the past it used to be more related to graphics design even, but for me front end development is about programming, just as full stack but without worrying about business logic that is supposed to rely on the backend. This can include design(as in CSS, colors, grids, fonts, responsiveness), but also worrying about the delivery mechanisms(some API level knowledge, browser vendors), including performance(consider crappy or inconsistent networks).

I've been using AWS Lambda on a side project (octodocs.com) that is powered by Django and uses Zappa to manage deployments.

I was initially attracted to it as a low-cost tool to run a database (RDS) powered service side project.

Some thoughts:

- Zappa is a great tool. They added async task support [1] which replaced the need for celery or rq. Setting up https with let's encrypt takes less than 15 minutes. They added Python 3 support quickly after it was announced. Setting up a test environment is pretty trivial. I set up a separate staging site which helps to debug a bunch of the orchestration settings. I also built a small CLI [2] to help set environment variables (heroku-esque) via S3 which works well. Overall, the tooling feels solid. I can't imagine using raw Lambda without a tool like Zappa.

- While Lambda itself is not too expensive, AWS can sneak in some additional costs. For example, allowing Lambda to reach out to other services in the VPC (RDS) or to the Internet, requires a bunch of route tables, subnets and a nat gateway. For this side project, this currently costs way more running and invoking Lambda.

- Debugging can be a pain. Things like Sentry [3] make it better for runtime issues, but orchestration issues are still very trail and error.

- There can be overhead if your function goes "cold" (i.e. infrequent usage). Zappa lets you keep sites warm (additional cost), but a cold start adds a couple of seconds to the first-page load for that user. This applies more to low volume traffic sites.

Overall: It's definitely overkilled for a side project like this, but I could see the economics of scale kicking in for multiple or high volume apps.

I wasn't able to hear a difference on that website, but I tried some songs on my computer and there was audible hissing in some parts (it mostly sounded great to me, though). All that was gone at 48kbps, though. It's kind of crazy to see a full-length album sounding amazing at 20MB. I think if I were to convert everything I'd go a little higher (64?) to be safe, but wow.
Yep, I paid around $2000 for a nice Hitachi drum-type washer-dryer machine last year.

I would certainly, without any hesitation whatsoever, have been willing to pay $5000 or even a bit more for one that, instead of just washing and drying all our clothes, took a pile of dirty clothes as input and output a few stacks of washed, dried, folded, and sorted clothes.

Anybody with children would want this; those who also have sufficient money would buy it.
Somewhat off-topic:

Why is something like Uber called ride-sharing to begin with? I'm not sharing my ride with anyone that coincidentally wants to travel (more or less) the same route as me. I pay somebody to drive their car first to me, and then some other place.

This is called a taxi or cab [1], there Uber is a taxi company.

At least in Germany, there used to be actual ride-sharing systems, of which the best one used to be mitfahrzentrale.de, where people would advertise what route they were planing to drive (and when) and other people could "book" a seat on that route. I don't know if some others still exist, I haven't used them in years.

Unfortunatley, with the machine learning hype, a lot of companies are pushing "AI-assisted software" that does put people in prison for "being a threat" or for a longer time they should normally get, simply because of factors like being black, or poor, or from a bad neighborhood, etc.

"Uber is a play on self-driving cars" is a misleading but often repeated story.

When Uber started and raised its first investment rounds, self-driving cars were too far away to be part of a business plan. I doubt the latest investors take that view either - spending billions per year until self-driving cars happen is a way too expensive way to build up a fickle user base who will switch the moment a competitor offers 10% lower rates.

And when self-driving cars do arrive, there is no reason to believe that Uber will have exclusive access to them. Google and other software companies will be licensing the technology to anyone who pays for it, car manufacturers will be selling cars to anyone who pays for it.

It may kill taxi driver as a career, but there is no defensible advantage to Uber compared to Lyft, Hailo, Taxify, and so on.

your list is pretty good, but it makes me think of a few things:

> Reduce all bills/belongings to bare essentials to live minimally.

depends what you mean by living minimally. if you want to be responsible for the fewest things you could live somewhere that doesn't have a kitchen, and own no equipment for cooking, but eat out every meal. in some sense this will be "simple" but also relatively expensive. if you want to really focus on reducing costs then there will be a business case to invest in "stuff" like cooking equipment. for example you could buy a large a freezer so if you see something you like to eat marked down by 80% you have enough capacity to buy in bulk and store for the next 6 months.

> 4. Invest in yourself with excellent groceries, gym membership/local park visits, medical/hygiene care and other healthy habits.

keeping yourself in good mental and physical health for the long run is a great idea, but avoid falling into the trap of spending money for things that are not actually necessary. be careful about using the word "invest" for things that wont actually generate income.

e.g. instead of paying for a gym membership maybe you could switch from driving/public transport to cycling. in that way buying a bike could be an actual investment if it reduces your transport costs (probably hits break even point in 0.3-1 year) and has the side bonus of incidentally filling some of your need for exercise at no cost.

Yeah this was basically also my conclusion of the article.

If you really want to do clojure(/script) no language but clojure will give you that experience. It doesn't make functional programming in javascript an anti-pattern just because it does not become clojure.

That's much like saying that you can't do functional programming in clojure because there are no monads and proper static type checking.
It eventually is exploitation no matter how you slice it. Doctor's salaries and the money that is made in medical just because it is medical is insane. How much money does a doctor need to make? Why is $400,000+ a year okay when it is bankrupting thousands of people's lives?

On the other hand, you can only be considered a threat as a consequence of specific actions you took in the past.
When you get out of prison that means that, according to the law, you're no longer a threat, and there shouldn't be any reason or justification for limiting your freedom or shaming you publicly by putting your name on a list.
> that's probably not a result of racism

Not directly related to the article, but racism is not the same thing as xenophobia and it is not a cause but rather the effect of different races having different amounts of power. If a practice causes or strengthens some power disparity between races then it is racist, regardless of motivation (same goes for sexism vs. misogyny).

"Task 4. Determine Characteristics Required for Lint Ignition

Lint that accumulates on the heater housing can easily ignite under conditions of a failed high-limit thermostat and a blocked exhaust vent.
Lint accumulating near the heater intake can ignite before the high-limit thermostat switches the heater element off.
Lint ingested by the heater and embers expelled from the heater outlet can easily ignite additional lint or fabric in the air stream, resulting in additional embers in the dryer system and exhaust vent."

I can't stop you from going online but I don't have to give you a computer to access it?
Yeah, I was quite confused when reading. Semantically, Javascript is basically a crappy Scheme (first class functions, lexical closure, etc. but no macros, tail calls, call-cc, etc.), with lightweight objects and prototypical inheritance.

The functional/OO split in JS is basically whether to focus on the Scheme part and only use objects as hash tables, or whether to focus on the objects, methods and inheritance and avoid Schemey functions.

You don't need any libraries to do either. If it makes life easier to include a library (whether functional or OO or whatever) then include it; if it doesn't, then don't.

Seriously awesome paper!

The answer seems to be "yes" judging by their dramatic conclusion:

> Our conclusion is contrary to our expectations and to previous findings and goes against conventional wisdom, which states that accesses to RAM are slow, and should be
minimized. A more accurate statement, that accounts for our findings, is that accesses to RAM have high latency and this latency needs to be mitigated.

In other words: to optimize memory access you should think like a network engineer - treat RAM as a "long fat pipe" and do the usual optimizations like pipelining that you would in TCP or HTTP or ....

Ask HN: Should I buy the new Macbook Pro with Touch Bar or the previous model?
I've seen a lot of discussion of the new Macbook Pro with Touch Bar here at HN, but most discussion revolves around comparisons of the new Macbook and other brands of laptops. I'm about to buy a new computer and I want to stick with a Macbook Pro.

The Touch Bar in itself seems annoying. However, the new model has some upgrades. For example,
– 2.70 gHz (vs 2.20)
– 8 MB CPU cache (vs 6 MB)
– 512 GB storage (vs 256 GB).

So, given that my work includes the occasional fairly heavy-weight computation, and speed is important, should I buy the "old" MJLQ2KS/A model or upgrade to the Touch Bar model MLW82? Money is an issue, and the difference is almost 1200 dollars. What would you do?
