Reading posts like this, I get the distinct impression that the common "I don't want to spend ages messing around with my operating system, I want something that just works" argument against Linux is becoming more and more irrelevant. I've jumped back and forth since the early 2000s but even I scrapped my Windows partition around 6 months ago and haven't looked back (to be fair, I still have Win10 in VirtualBox for PhotoShop and Office, but even that hasn't been booted in weeks).
Ask HN: Business that should not scale

Well, Go doesn't have a package system and no good external tool to circumvent it.

So the choice is either maintain a fork of every dependency or vendor them, and vendoring is considerably less painful imo.

(I'm not saying it's a good solution, mind you)
I also have a filled-in square which it says is incorrect with no indication of where/why it's incorrect, which is quite frustrating. Would it really be too easy if you could guess and then be told why it was inconsistent?
I'd caution the author against MIT style licenses for such an early release of a text editor; it's easier to loosen restrictions than it is to add them. Especially for an editor, having a GPL-esque license wouldn't have much practical impact on its use, aside from making it harder to embed and re-release it (which could be considered a feature of choosing that license).

The sole exception I can think of is plug-ins, but that would depend on the implementation.

I don't think that's as bad as it looks.

Part of the point of inventing concise notation for mathematics is so that you can "let the formalism carry you through"; a great deal of the time you can write down the next line of a proof by looking at the previous line or two and simplifying something without thinking too hard about what it means.

One of the things that the students are practising is performing a longish series of operations while thinking about the important stuff and letting the simple stuff take care of itself.

So I don't think it should be too concerning if a student starts to make mistakes like this: what's gone wrong may not be "the student doesn't understand what sin means", but "the student has gone astray in converting their understanding to an internalised rule of formal manipulation".

(It's a bit like if a younger pupil mistakenly gets it stuck in their head that 6x7 is 49: it doesn't mean they've fundamentally misunderstood what multiplication is.)
It might also include fees for accounting work etc. which could possibly be considered a legal fee
The op actually knows someone who ran into problems. This is bound to affect their thoughts and actions.
Alternately, it's a very useful technique to identify the penultimate step; it's often a useful rephrasing of the problem, and gives something easier to prove. And then just repeat...

(It's probably usually a hangover from poorly taught rote proof exercises in a lower grade, though.)
No idea, however I doubt any Linux user with Wine installed would double click some random setup.exe that was auto downloaded.
I'd say that's pretty situational, depending on the type of site you want to build. Including tools like SASS, gulp, etc should be applicable to most sites, though.

What do you expect from Western classical music? ;)
You know that thing about anecdotes. There are a lot of explanations for your situation getting better concurrently with chiro, but not because of chiro. For example, regression to the mean, placebo effect, etc.

That said, I had been under the impression that chiro is about as effective for lower back pain as evidence-based physical therapy. But that doesn't mean it is effective. It could equally well mean that we don't know of many good treatments for lower back pain, and thus that physical therapy is only good as a placebo (chiropractic).
Interesting about the 50-50 split. If you talk to most people in the valley, they would probably tell you this is the worst thing you can do. That is, if you're looking from the perspective of a VC.

I have seen this first hand at a acquisition. Missing licenses resulted in the entire FE team working in finding missing licenses/find alternative module with proper license or worst case scenario; implement our own solution. This literally took 1 week. Shrink-wrap would have saved us a bunch of $$$.
Some of the basic assertions, such as the relative inefficiency of block compression in database engines, are true. I've seen material gains from using context/content-aware compression and some commercial OLAP databases exploit this extensively. They appear to be using many of the same kinds of techniques.

However, the assertions made around caching behavior, such as wasting memory due to double caching, are not generally true. While you will see this in simple/naive database engines, a sophisticated high-performance database implementation won't be designed this way.
There only exists two proven methods for stopping back pain: Physical exercise and rest.

Many things tend to go away by themselves (regression to the mean), back pain appears to be one of them and we haven't found better ways to treat it.

Chiropractors often make one feel good for a few days but the effect does not last.

There is one more thing. Developing in HTML5/JS (with all its ecosystem) is freaking fast in terms of developer productivity. You will probably build full fledge app in shorter time using JS than with C++. So you can deliver MVP to the market faster = profit $$$

And initial group of users are early adaptors anyway. They are usually eager to try new applications even if they are not perfect.

The problem is: "what next?", when users will start complaining about speed or other things.

Should company rewrite original HTML5 based MVP to C++ to gain speed?

Or should they optimize existing HTML5 solution? (many HTML5 apps are running with nearly native responsiveness).

Or something else? Or maybe HTML5 even for MVP is a bad idea?

By the way, I don't know if you're aware that Wikipedia with its parallel corpus in hundreds of languages covering almost any subject is very important in NLP (natural language processing) and the development of AI with common sense. Wikipedia is also routinely used to build word embeddings for many languages. The Wikidata project is essentially a huge ontology - a database of entities and relations - very important for advanced NLP tasks.

So it's a valuable resource both for humans and AI. We'll benefit from Wikipedia indirectly by using AI trained on its database.

This generalization is insane. I don't go to chiropractors regularly, and my situation was clearly be anecdotal, but there was one afternoon where any movement in my back caused me extreme pain. I scheduled a body massage to try to alleviate at least some of the pain but when I went it didn't help. Then my fiance suggested trying a chiropractor and I walked in, explained my pain, and in about 30 seconds it was all gone. I know there are skeezy chiropractors as well because I have a friend who worked for those kinds of people who swore they could cure anything. That's bull shit. But this article is a gross over generalization of a practice. The chiropractor I went to didn't try to sell me anything afterwards, he didn't promise any mirale weight loss, I just explained my pain and he fixed it. I respect that.
oh dude.. seriously?

Chiro's entire "methodology" is based on something called "subluxation". Go and ask your local Chiro what it is, and get them to show you what it is.

You'll be waiting a while. its complete bullshit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebral_subluxation

There is No. Such. Thing.

They're dangerous pseudo science pushers, with no evidence to back up their core basis to operate.

Go to a physio therapist. Their medicinal practices are based on good, solid scientific evidence based medicine.

lastly.. here is quite possibly the most ridiculous thing you'll ever see, a Chiro doing an "adjustment" on a snapping turtle... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=693MsUkQzsA
Totally not bullshit.

Hospitals alone kill close to 100,000 Americans alone each year. https://www.propublica.org/article/how-many-die-from-medical...

Chiropractors are good:
1) Personal experience. They have helped my spine recover multiple times, in record recovery time.
2) Modern medicine consists of prescribing drugs, or high risk surgeries. Paralysis for life is a real risk.
3) If you get a great one, they will add years of pain-free time for your life

Chiropractors are also bad:
a) There are some 'religious schools' founded by 'bodies for Christ' aka Maximized Living that make some interesting claims. Unfortunately these are becoming common
b) many new chiropractors have poor technique. This often goes back to the previous point.
c) Unless the person is really good don't let them mess with your neck. There is a growing link between neck manipulation and strokes, especially when 'fast techniques' are involved. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Deanna_Rothwell/publica...

TLDR;
This doesn't mean that Chiropractors are bad. There are many many great ones and it really works.

There are many quacks who drink the cool aid. They are mostly new graduates.

Modern medicine's approach to back and neck pain is utterly subpar and medieval. There are many quacks there too, and they kill a lot more every year.

And the medical community also disavowed Surgery as 'quackery' not too long ago: http://mentalfloss.com/article/66664/how-uneducated-butchers...
> That's trivial to do with little snitch.

It's not trivial unless you have a lot of network, sysadmin, and OS X background. You have to think about a lot of issues of what to permit, what to deny. Then you still get alerts and have to research the things that want access.

I'm reluctant to deny unfamiliar system apps in case I break something and later have to spend a half a day tracking down mysterious behavior.

The developers of Little Snitch have this knowledge. They could create presets for common situations.

The only preset I want is "maximum privacy while user initiated outbound still works". I'd be satisfied even with cookbook step-by-step instructions for such a preset.

I love how everyone thinks they are an expert. I went to physiotherapy for over a year. I took medications for longer. Neither worked. I took a short course of chiro and the pain permanently went away.

Guitar Center never adapted to the electronic era and are now being run by bankers to squeeze as much money out of the business as possible. They will go the way of Radio Shack.

It's a lot easier these days for young people to mess around with Ableton or Fruity Loops and make music alone than save every last dollar to buy a cheap instrument and try desperately to find the drummer and bass player which were always in short supply.

The guitar will be on more equal footing with every other instrument and hardware that musicians/composers use for live performance. There is still a need to perform music and people like seeing musicians do something, whether it's fiddle knobs or play an instrument. And there will always be something magical about an instrument that fully digital electronics will never have.
Not only that, but you don't get word level timestamps when rendering a phrase. If you want to track speech word by word, it's not possible.

Search for "car virtual reality" It's used in auto design and eventually sales.
Just to be clear, the fact that someone bills themselves as a chiropractor doesn't mean that they exclusively offer chiropractic "treatments". Some offer quasi-legitimate physiotherapy-like treatment, advice on lifestyle modification, and guidance on over-the-counter drugs. Any of which might end up being useless or harmful depending on how knowledgeable and sensible a given chiropractor is. But the extent to which they do this corresponds pretty closely to how much they deviate from chiropractic theory and accept proven understandings of physiology.
Is this for the company Binomial, mentioned on the author's home page?

One of my coworkers got excited when he heard about LTSB for a particular use-case. But it didn't take me long to find Microsoft documentation that suggested it would not be a good fit [0]:

"Specialized systems—such as PCs that control medical equipment, point-of-sale systems, and ATMs—often require a longer servicing option because of their purpose."

"LTSB is not intended for deployment on most or all the PCs in an organization; it should be used only for special-purpose devices. As a general guideline, a PC with Microsoft Office installed is a general-purpose device, typically used by an information worker, and therefore it is better suited for the CB or CBB servicing branch."

If each reversible step was clearly marked as such, I don't see a problem with starting at the goal and then working towards a trivially true statement. Usually the problem is that the steps are written down without explaining how they are supposed to relate to each other, so you are left to guess based on the order they are written down.

Across two math departments that I have taken courses with, this was handled by having an official document that explained how to write proofs ("Read this if you want to pass the homework requirement."), then mercilessly marking down any missing details (e.g. whether two statements are equivalent).

This was probably quite a shock for many who hadn't needed this kind of rigor before, but they did learn pretty quickly to state their proof attempts according to the guidelines. (There were still mistakes, of course, but at least they were less ambiguous.)
This made me curious about its effectiveness for back pain, so I tried to find a meta-analysis. Turned up this on plos one. (note, I can't speak for the article's quality).

> Moderate evidence suggests that chiropractic care for LBP appears to be equally effective as physical therapy. Limited evidence suggests the same conclusion when chiropractic care is compared to exercise therapy and medical care although no firm conclusion can be reached at this time. No serious adverse events were reported for any type of care. Our review was also unable to clarify whether chiropractic or medical care is more cost-effective. Given the limited available evidence, the decision to seek or to refer patients for chiropractic care should be based on patient preference and values. Future studies are likely to have an important impact on our estimates as these were based on only a few admissible studies.

You are the one that claimed there is evidence, the onus is on you to show us it, not for us to disprove your claim. No one is claiming there are peer reviewed studies showing the opposite.
