As a parent of a 3 year old, I haven't yet had to deal with this, but I have thought about it. My view is that a parent is supposed to protect and guide a child to prepare them for adulthood and being self-sufficient once they are of age. To that end, I plan to take the general viewpoint that on the major stuff I will force requirements from my child. On everything else that is far less important, I will let my child make decisions so that they can learn cause and effect and the consequences of those actions. Doing this I hope to shield them from terrible decisions that affect their lives in a major or permanent way and let them experience the good and bad of the decisions which have less impact. So...

study - this is in the "major" category. I will push them to do well and have expectations that are challenging and in line with their ability.

religion - my wife cares about this so she is going to raise them as Roman Catholic (which both of our families are). I actually am not a fan of organized religion but I don't see the big harm since no one in our family lives their life around it at all (hell, we don't even go to church), and it can help teach some core values which I do approve of. I plan to encourage my daughter as she gets older to think critically about the role, if any, she wants religion to play in her life and press the fact that she should seriously evaluate it again as an adult.

online controls - i'm not going to filter her internet or anything but I will strongly stress the dangers of communications with random strangers on the internet. the COPPA law helps here, since children aren't supposed to be able to have accounts until a certain age (12 or 13 I think?), which is an age where they are fully capable of understanding what is being explained to them regarding the dangers. of course, anyone can fill out any age they want when signing up, so there is still a concern that has to be monitored. Also, youtube kids is pretty good at filtering out the inappropriate content. some stuff slips through, but overall it's pretty solid.
Thanks for this!

Did you measure memory usage for e.g. San Francisco or Berlin?

Why did you consider this non-commercial license? Especially since you say 'I don't plan on actively maintaining it'
I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem as common in new tables. Personally I find it to be a pain in the ass, and will only go for manual ones. I used to have an auto Technics changer turntable. Frustrating to use most of the time.
you mean now you CAN monitor the queue... it's been very helpful for us to just throw alerts on queue size in AWS Simple Queue Service.. but we have some apps keeping state in Mongo and you have to write a custom script each time to query and send data to Cloudwatch
Because that one factory pretty much represents all the battery production outside of China.
I grew up with my parents trying to force me to be religious. Sent me to religious school from K-12 and went to temple a lot (Jewish). As someone who naturally gravitated toward problem solving and logic (engineer), I was always skeptical of religion and the more I learned about it the more I was exposed to things that just made no logical sense and it became pretty obvious to me early on that this is all stuff that some group of people made up a while ago and I don't need to base my life around it. Furthermore, I don't need religious text to teach me how to be a good person. For example on "holy" days where the community spends all day in temple reciting the same prayer 50 times over and over again, I would much rather volunteer at a soup kitchen or maybe plant trees or do community service, that is much more rewarding to me than praying to something that no one even knows exists. That being said, I don't care if anyone else wants to be religious, I am not trying to convert anyone to atheism, as long as their beliefs don't pour over into my life. This is where tension has built up with my mom who continues trying to force me to be religious even as I am into my 30s now. I do not try to convince her to be atheist so I don't understand why she feels she needs to force it upon me. We don't really talk much anymore because of it which is a shame because otherwise we got along. Anyway, I hope you let your child choose whatever path he/she decides is best without forcing anything upon him/her.
Before we know it, 1TWh worth of battery storage will be produced every year. That should make EV batteries and EVs in general quite cost-competitive.
If you're looking for the best music discovery on the planet, or just some easy eclectic listening while you cook, then try KCRW. Public radio at its very finest. Based in Los Angeles, it's what I recommend to any music listener if they get tired of streaming their own music all day everyday. Let me also plug Gilles Peterson who has a show on BBC Radio 6 every Saturday morning, PST.
I've been buying records for over two decades and I will tell you there is still an art in "finding" new great music, and in my experience, you have to still listen to the "radio" to find it.
Facebook has custom-built servers in Sweden and Ireland, both of which could be easily seized via an EU-wide court warrant (which is actually possible to get).

And just seizing and selling their IP would be enough to encourage facebook not to violate the law.

Everyone would love buying their software and trained models.

Unlikely the last decade China has been pushing its industries to go from cheap and mass produced to better qualities at higher prices
The article discusses how China is building 4 gigafactories worth of capacity by 2020.

It's unclear what your tone signifies, muddying your message. It's a couple commonly known truths about Tesla, with a tone of "take THAT Bloomberg!"
We are a metaphorically murderous bunch.
I would worry about quality.
Sure they do test everything and break nearly every rule you give them. You cited only one part of my sentence, I gave this in a row of other things, that are equally important. Nowhere did I say that this is the only or the primary way to teach them.

Right, that's pretty much my whole point. Money gets concentrated. Employment is low.
Almost the same story with solar panels.
If you get all your records from the same place as everyone then your sets are going to sound the same as everyone else.
To clarify: the transaction feature is a transaction over updates to Kafka and provides transparent, correct processing in Kafka for Kafka Streams or anything else only maintaining state/output in Kafka. The trick you described where you either transactionally or idempotently store your offsets and state updates in an external store when consuming in a general app still works, but obviously for that to work it requires there are no duplicates in the log itself, which the idempotence feature in the producer described here enables.
What you are proposing,"get better informed and contribute", doesn't many any sense.

"get better informed" about what? How insurance companies take advantage of poor people? Even if I know all the laws and regulations and details of my policy, if I don't have the money (hire a lawyer) to fight it, then I am screwed.

And this has happened to me. I was in the right, but my insurance company ruled against me, I complained and they basically told me to hire a lawyer if I didn't like it.

And "contribute"? what is that? Contribute money?

You still don't have a solution for the problem, insurance companies having asymmetric power (via information and money and legal influence) in the customer relationship.

They collude with other insurance companies to create complicated policies that you can't negotiate or understand, but are forced to have legally.

It's billion dollar powerful and well connected corporations vs. one person. Not exactly a fair fight.
which youtubers do you follow for ideas of why altcoins are under-rated?
After reading the previous article in which Jessica mentions "grabbing coffee with investors" as waste of time, I am conflicted. Most VC and angels advise to form personal relationship and yet here I am being advised against.

Do VC's even think from a new start-up perspective?
Why is there so much chasm between what they think and what really is for startups on ground?

I am running a start-up and my time is split between customer support , managing my team, forming partnership ( which Jessica didn't want to) , developing ML code, creating roadmaps and attempting to talk to VC's

Partnership with Intel is how I got a free deep learning machine on cloud, partnership with IBM got me business contacts to network.

And there is this fanatic obsession of ARR.

Honestly, as an upcoming startup we would have been long dead if we had listened to any typical advice from VC firm.
One of the first question from Sequoia partner was about ARR although we are growing and I explained we are focused on almost zero churn rate as customer data is more important than his money for our ML.

Are we missing anything?

Not to get off the subject, but they are not mutually exclusive. I use my cast iron often, but would not cook anything reactive (i.e. tomato sauce) in it. It's a matter of right tool for the job.

I suppose the same could be said of many things: communication (people still use irc or even send cards), music (people own vinyl but listen to digital), books (people often read both physical and ebooks), and so on.
I see no harm either, although what I found to be rather amusing was the demonstrable power of a leading question.
Good luck O'Reilly!
I find it fascinating that the packets per second chart resembles an RC circuit's step response. I wonder if there is a good electrical circuit analogy for packets, packet size, and bandwidth.
Yes. Every parent works to transfer their sincerely-held beliefs to their children because every parent wants their child to succeed.

"How do I raise a 'good' person?" implicitly indicates the parent's intention to transfer their own moral and social values, which comprise the core of religion, to the child (and there's nothing wrong with that; that's how it's supposed to work).

This type of ethereal, fundamentally subjective teaching is religious education. A mature mythos around the core is not the element that causes people to value religion, and discarding that mythos cannot automatically make a religious sentiment non-religious.
Having been on the receiving end of more than a few apps where the devs used a database as a queue, I say "please don't".

Yes, Oracle's AQ product is built on top of an RDBMS. And yes, early versions of Microsoft's MSMQ used SQL Server. But most dev teams use the database as a shortcut and don't invest the effort in making their hacktastic DB queue work like a real product.
Discover weekly is Spotify's key to that sweet payola, and it really shows. You can't remove songs from the weekly recommendation, and somehow it repeatedly gives you well-marketed artists completely outside your listening preferences.

True, but again, most problems I've been given are solved problems I just need to glue the parts together.

I do not design a sorting algorithm from scratch (without consulting any of the literature on writing sort) - I could but the result would probably be a variation of bubble sort. However I stand on the shoulders of giants. That means I already know bucket sort, quick sort, insertion sort, bogo sort (and several more that were covered in CS203). I have never encountered a situation in the real world where calling whatever sort is built into my language is not good enough.

Most problems are variations of take some data, do a little math, and [save for latter use, present to the user, or change some physical control]
Really? It seems like (true) techno releases drop as either digital-only or simultaneous digital and vinyl, bur rarely vinyl-first.

Which makes sense, because techno has always been at the forefront of digital adoption compared to other genres of dance music.

Perhaps a nice challenge for a home project: to build a CD player from discrete components (not ICs).
>dereferencing property of an observable didn't trigger rendering

For real!? This seems like either a critical bug or huge design mistake on the part of the MobX author.

I also cannot understand why you cannot make a Set an observable. It's such a fundamental part of programming!
Interview with Ex Machina’s Scientific Advisor
So, I was sleepy and going off to bed when I made that comment and now I've realized that how massively I botched it. Major failure of communication on my part, sorry.

But it's good that you mentioned the Hemingway article, because the difference between that article and this interview highlights pretty well what's my issue with trying to "reconstruct" Camus from quotes. A living person is able to perceive as well as react to context. What questions have been asked, who's asking them, what is the level of understanding of the world, where we are ... these all might be grouped into "context", and the point is that they're all relevant in conversation.

Now, when a person takes up the mannerisms of someone else, it doesn't really detract from their ability of adhering to context. But when they're trying to "reconstruct" a person from things they've said at some point for the purposes of an interview, while trying to preserve those quotes to some degree, there can never be such a close fit between question and answer because each was made in different contexts.

Another way to look a it: what the author did is essentially search the Camus corpus for continuous segments of text which most closely fit his questions. But the answer which Camus would have most likely given could depend on discontinuous segments of text. This is actually pretty common in academic literature: whenever people are trying to reconstruct the meaning of certain concept, like Aristotle's "entelechy" or like Kant's "noumenon", sometimes we have to refer to different passages of the relevant corpus in order to get a clearer picture of what it might have meant. And there's an interaction between these passages, because they don't just heap over one another as in a concatenation of disjointed facts, but instead build upon another. The interaction between different passages might actually change the perceived meaning of individual passages. If there were a living person to answer these questions, whether it be Camus or just someone who really knows Camus, he already has these higher degree interactions in his head. He doesn't have the excerpts of text, he has the model which generates them. So if there's any question which might warrant a more subtle or complex answer, he'll able to do it. Maybe even a question which wasn't previously considered by Camus and for which we can find no immediately relevant passages in the corpus.

My issue isn't that this is some bit of necromancy, but rather that it is a Procrustean bit of necromancy. I wasn't skeptical because there's some degree of uncertainty either (though I think that in between chopping text and answering based on some model there would be less uncertainty regarding the latter), I was skeptical because I think this is an awkward and useless approach. It doesn't "reconstruct" anything, it merely deconstructs the Camus corpus.
> they should be familiar enough with the concept of long term wear and tear to draw their own conclusions about what's appropriate.

From ages ~15-22, I averaged less than 6 hours of sleep a night, ate north of 4000 calories of junk food a day yet had visible ab muscles with minimal exercise, could stay up ~36hrs before I'd have to crash if I needed to, all but the worst cuts, scrapes, and bruises healed completely and disappeared without leaving a mark in 12-48hrs, I simply did not get hangovers ever, could push myself to run a pretty damn fast mile despite not being a runner and not feel it at all the next day, and so on.

I don't think I had a very good handle on what long-term wear and tear was like except in a very abstract way.
Does this just mean (in TL;DR form) that Kafka now has producers generate an ID for each message they send, and Kafka deduplicates it now instead of requiring deduplication on the end consumer?

Not really, "dilution" implies that when the Internet grows to include another crappy site everything else in the "solution" is slightly crappier. If a new web site for cat pictures or political shouting matches opens up tomorrow, it does not affect the quality and usefulness of HN.
On the other hand, does it matter how long the business lasts? It seemingly has minimal costs and is making bank.
Facebook says that only governments may use violence to achieve political aims:

"The rule against posts that support violent resistance against a foreign occupier was developed because “we didn’t want to be in a position of deciding who is a freedom fighter,” Willner said. Facebook has since dropped the provision and revised its definition of terrorism to include nongovernmental organizations that carry out premeditated violence “to achieve a political, religious or ideological aim,” according to a person familiar with the rules."

I couldn't get through this article, even though the title sounds interesting. I don't like the kind of blog post that tries to explain technical concepts as a conversation. It seems that it is often used as a way to make the concept more approachable, and also to insert some cute humor. But I find that it just obscures the information and I have trouble following the narrative because I usually try to speed read (skim) these things. Another example is the "Lawsplainer" articles on Popehat.

I'm willing to admit that this just might be a matter of taste or habit. But, in my humble opinion, technical writing is an art that was just about perfected in K&R. Technical data is organized in a way that matches the subject matter, and the narrative follows the information without superfluous discussion. Off the top of my head, Armin Ronacher's (creator of Flask) has put out some articles that I find to be very informative and also easy to read quickly.
They all tell you to be bold in claiming fair use, the Chicago Manual gave the same advice 20 years ago, yet McMansion Hell is still down. EFF says one thing, Zillow says the opposite. What guidance are we supposed to believe? Is it like Torvalds when someone asked him if he had been approached by the 3-letter agencies?
Well plenty of health care providers refused to service Medicaid patients because the rates are so low. That would infer that they aren't getting what they want from the gov't.
Not sure if this is still the case, but 10-15 years ago most vinyl albums were mastered separately from CDs. CDs were subject to the horrors of the loudness wars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war . So, in many cases, the vinyl actually does sound better, but not (directly) because of any difference in technology, just a difference in how the medium was processed.
Just wondering if the guys can automate the scraping part, seems unlikely this is usually information that needs to be handpicked or "moderated" by one or more humans.
Tesla has been spinning their gigafactories for years now, though. The fact that the federal government doesn't do the planning doesn't really have any bearing as to whether the "US" is being "left in the dust". Those factory plans are real, they're being built (with a huge infusion of capital from a bunch of different sources). It's happening.

Now, it might be the case that the PRC government's resources are superior, that they'll end up being able to outproduce Tesla et. al. in volume and undercut them in price, and that they'll ultimately "win" this battle. But that's not due to a lack of planning or resources in the US.

You should be able to look at the messages only, and see where a bug starts.

Apple Music doesn't have a free version, at all, either. Spotify only has ads for the free version.
Any developer should know the basic algorithms. If you tell one to write sort they should immediately think to look up merge sort is implemented. My algorithm will be O(n ln n), not because I'm great at creating algorithms but because I know I can do better.

I actually did a fairly robust empirical analysis of the extent to which brand owners did 'register their name in many of them' back when the round of ICANN gTLD expansions was happening.

The conclusion was that both currently-fashionable arguments were kinda bogus: the new gTLDs couldn't deal with 'artificial scarcity' in any real sense, if it even existed, and yet few brand owners were defensively registering in the existing domains (even .org) so claims that it would extract massive economic rent were also overblown.

It was eventually published in the Journal of Information Policy (vol.3, pp.464-484). There's a full-text copy on https://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:ba4ca100-2f81-43ea-b207-84... if anyone's interested...

I don't care at all for the act of playing vinyl, but I really love the artwork. I occasionally buy records just for the art. I wish they sold the art separately because it's kind of ludicrous to spend all that money for something that is kind of incidental to the actual product.
