tl;dr: cop goes for a 160h course, gets a Drug Recognition Expert certificate, then his opinion "based on his training" is enough to establish probable cause and make an arrest and then you sit in jail for however long it takes for tests to get back (if that even helps because "tests come back wrong all the time")
I agree with you, although I think it makes more sense to have something like c, with the python indent and all the nice things it has, lists, dict, etc. A static python is complicated because types would make your code much longer and less readable...
#truth on the don’t trust a contract detail mentioned

I've known people who claimed to be from a VC fund that had $10MM raise out of $50MM and was making investments.

In reality they had no money raised but signed $11.5MM in investments with startups.

It's a crazy world out there. Vet your investors.

I've seen an early alpha version of GP during the Scratch conference of 2016 (the 2017 conference is wrapping up tomorrow), and it worked awesomely, like a supercharged version of Scratch. A fun thing about it is that it features a very small VM, and the rest of the interface and blocks are written in GP itself, and can be readily inspected and modified.
You may be right about this.
Bravo to KQED for owning up to the compromise!

Meanwhile, there are countless lawyers, accountants, doctors, architects, engineers, landlords, and other small and medium businesses that suffer similar attacks and don't talk about it publicly. If you have an important relationship with a business like that, the time to ask them hard questions about security and reliability is now, before the court date, tax audit, surgery, construction commencement, etc.
So funny to read and so true. Moral of the story, best money to secure is the one from customers. Much more difficult to get but so rewarding and the types of answer we get from prospective customers does not exceed 3.

The cause-and-effect is backwards. They don't sell drugs so they can kill lots of people. They kill lots of people so they can sell drugs.

Not a comment on the content of the article, but I find it pretty obnoxious when an author uses a word like "hereodox" which has a much more commonly known nearly-exact synonym "unorthodox". It's hard to imagine any reason for that beyond "look at how clever of a writer I am".
Registered assets are always more secure and cheaper than bearer assets. And if you needed bearer assets, there's multisig, which does everything turing complete code does, cheaper and more secure

You're confused. The original argument is not a deductive one, it's abductive. Material implication, e.g., P -> Q, is a deductive move.

In non-deductive arguments, like we have here, any claim (be it conditional or otherwise) certainly does not happen independently of the speaker or of what logicians call the knowledge base (KB).

By the way, I went and looked at the offending contract. The pull request that introduced the line with the bug added 2228 new lines of code while removing 918 lines. In fact, the diff is so large that GitHub doesn't even show parts of it by default (including the part with the bug). The pull request was reviewed by a single other person, and committed on the same day it was submitted.

I don't think I'm comfortable with the barrier being that low, at all.
My shortened version of the answer to this topic: if they don't say yes, it's no.
None of what you said makes any sense to me.

You can create a simple page based UX metaphor using SPA. In fact it is the most common model around. You emulate routes client side and rather than refreshing the page you just change the inner content. Every demo, framework example and web site template I've seen uses has this as a reference.

And of course this is faster than server side model since you are only loading what is changed and not the entire page again. Also SPAs allow you to selectively bring in new Javascript components/widgets.

Also there is a common pattern for conveying the page loading to the user. It's the thin coloured progress bar that appears under the tabs. And there are dozens of plugins for implementing it.
It's age related. When you are 18 your liver is like a glittering biotech factory, like the ones on Kendall Square. When you are 40 it's a test tube, one of the scratched plastic ones at high fucking school.

Comparison with express-graphql

- express-graphql works with Express and Connect, Apollo Server supports Express, Connect, Hapi, Koa and Restify.

- Compared to express-graphql, Apollo Server has a simpler interface and supports exactly one way of passing queries.

- Apollo Server separates serving GraphiQL (an in-browser IDE for exploring GraphQL) from responding to GraphQL requests.

- express-graphql contains code for parsing HTTP request bodies, Apollo Server leaves that to standard packages like body-parser.

- Apollo Server includes an OperationStore to easily manage whitelisting.

- Apollo Server is built with TypeScript.
I highly disagree with not giving early employees equity. I've always given them even to the receptionist and they have a substantial impact on building a better team environment. It becomes "their company" and you get more commitment, better efforts and even more honesty.

And issuing employees shares in an LLC is a mess. Giving straight participation is taxable. Giving appreciation rights is complicated to do and manage. Doing it in a C Corp is basically automated with all the tax issues clear and codified.

Complicating your deal with Angels is also a good way to get them to walk away. You can use convertible debt if you are on the verge of a VC round, but you have to be a C corp in that case. And you have to agree on convertible terms that will attract Angels but not scare off VCs. Angels typically want to be investors, even most family members, and an LLC makes that a mess.

If you don't want to get VC money that's fine, but you better be sure.
You're confusing what's theoretically possible with what they're actually doing. You asserted that they did something that they categorically do not do, and are trying to defend it by saying "but they could!".

This sort of announcement doesn't tend to do well on HN to begin with, plus our software drops upvotes that look promotional. You guys would be much better off writing something about what's intellectually interesting in what you're doing, and posting that instead. It sounds like there's a lot there.

If you want, you can email a draft to hn@ycombinator.com and we can give you feedback (as long as you don't expect an immediate reply!). The same offer goes for anyone who is trying to write about what's intellectually interesting for HN.
I bought a used Grand Marquis for someone else. Got it from the estate of an old man that had died. Has 40k miles. Paid 3k. Put another 3k into it. Will probably run for 100k more miles with minimal maintenance.

It has really mushy suspension. It's like driving a big leather sofa. It's great.

FWIW Iceland gets about 4 hours of daylight near the winter solstice, not a generous amount to be sure. Still, it reduces the requirement for artificial illumination, and with "free" energy from geothermal sources it may be practical enough to grow under glass with supplemental LED illumination. Obviously most anywhere in the US will get more winter daylight which should make greenhouse culture easier to pursue.

Though I couldn't get the link you gave to cooperate, I have seen examples of cold weather greenhouse installations before, so I know that it can work.
How we built reinforcement learning datasets with Human-AI Interaction at Digg
Yeah, that's pretty much it, and it's not just tech companies. Prior to about 1990 or so, if you spent less than about five years at a company before moving on it was considered a black mark on your resume. If it was a regular pattern you were only going to get hired if your prospective employer couldn't find someone else.

So companies had some confidence they would get a return on their training investment. They couldn't force you to stay, but they knew you realized it was in your best interest to stick around for awhile.

That all changed. These days, particularly in tech, it's pretty normal for people to move on after 18 months or so. While it might make sense for the industry to train people, for an individual company it's stupid to put effort into an employee's career development only to have him move on to a competitor.

As a married religious person who was once single and not so religious, I can attest that faith and marriage have generally made me happier.

Given the choice again, I'd utilize both regardless of health benefits. I do wonder if that general happiness factor contributes to better health in indirect ways.

I'm not saying there's no validity to either of them as strategies, just that they're big differences from the way we operate today and there's nothing to mandate their application except these politicized exaggerations.

I more mean the bleak pictures painted to gain these ideas favor are pretty much junk in my opinion.
Interesting.

I've been wondering if we're simply too over-connected at the moment and if there will be a regression back to using different networks that are literally physically disconnected with one other for certain kinds of professional work.

Meaning, the wonder of the internet is that there are now billions of people who have access to your office door. If a guy in Romania decides he wants to jimmy your lock and steal your filing cabinets, there's little stopping him from trying.

Will some offices simply disconnect entirely?
First, we have no idea how "unique" fingerprints actually are. Silly, eh?

Second, have we programmed a computer to do it? At this point, something like "fingerprint analysis" should be quite open to machine learning. If we can't program a machine to do it, then probably humans aren't actually accurate either.
"sure, but what is actually wrong with drug use?"

I don't care; that's not what's being debated here. The fact of the matter is, it's illegal, and anyone who sets up a drug marketplace today knows that. They set it up with full knowledge that they are breaking the law. If they wish to campaign to have drug laws reworked, I'm all for that and wish them the best of luck. But they're not doing that; they're setting up a marketplace with the intentions of making lots of money. They're not fighting for freedom or anything like that; they're just trying to make a quick buck.

And please don't respond with any kind of false equivalence bs. Getting high is not any kind of civil rights struggle. It's nice, but that's it. It is absolutely nothing like civil rights struggles of the past, and comparing it to such events is an extreme disrespect to those struggles and those who went through them.
> It is essentially Redux, only much worse the more complex your app is.

so... not at all like Redux then. C# is essentially Python except it has different syntax and static typing.
I've used it but there are two major issues they still haven't fixed.

On windows there's some bug with a qt library they're using that, of all things, messes up network connectivity. It does polling of the network interfaces every 30 seconds (I believe) which causes traffic to completely stop for a couple of seconds.

On Android at least, it is EXTREMELY slow. Search works about 10% of the time, and the other 90% of the time you have to kill the app and relaunch it.
> people will use it not because it's good or even necessary, but because it will ensure their employment

Utter nonsense.

Developers use these frameworks (a) because they like it, (b) because there is a wealth of knowledge on the internet about how to fix every little problem, (c) because it allows them to be productive with their peers and (d) because often they learn something new. People get bored doing the same thing over and over again for 30 years like you seem to be advocating for.
C# (Xamarin) is probably #4 in mobile after Java, Swift and Obj-C. But yes, putting C in #1 is pretty absurd, although it's based on a survey of IEEE Spectrum readers, who maybe are disproportionately working on drivers, 3D games or the mobile operating systems themselves.
>The problem with both LV and MATLAB is that once you've done the basics, and now you want to turn it into something that you can maintain and sell.

That's true, but it's not their strong selling point. There's tons of problems to solve at the r&d stage when dealing with custom hardware, a dozen different instruments and algorithm exploration. That's where these tools shine and the reason they're ubiquitous in industrial/military/aerospace environments.

For a full product with drivers, libraries and fast, customer friendly UI sure there are better solutions, but there's no law that dictates to use the same tools at the development stage
Slashdot.com - haven't checked it in years but was a similar tech focused site with above average comments, its heyday was late 90s-early 2000s iirc
Ok, many developers, especially at the beginning of their careers, do like to introduce new things into the projects when they believe those things could advance their careers or even simply sound cool to talk to the peers about. But this is not the reason for the unreadable web.

I think the reason is simpler, more like fashion: most people who are in a position to play with fonts and colors have absolutely no idea what they are doing and make decisions by copying somebody else who they perceive as cool, and there is always pressure to make it look cool, so it spreads.
I do agree with what you're saying but don't downplay the healthcare talks either :/

I lost my health insurance, again, to Obamacare. But it doesn't matter because no one in my state (ks) is willing to sell individual health insurance next year... I think there are three states headed this way last time I read.

So yes, the repeal of Obamacare does need to happen sadly :/ I'm hoping for a partisan solution, but at the moment members of Congress are busy promoting their political parties instead of working together.
So it does! Trying it now, don't yet know how comprehensive it is, but it seems to work well on a Medium post, at least. Thanks!

Now, how to increase awareness of that feature?
BBR is, in my opinion, one of the most significant improvements to networking in recent years.

I've started using it on a couple of long-range routes (e.g. Switzerland to Ireland, Frankfurt to Singapore) with Gigabit servers on the Internet, and it turns unreliable ~200 Mbit/s transfer rates into reliable > 850 Mbit/s.

And all that's needed is `sudo modprobe tcp_bbr && sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bbr`.

Great job really!
From the comments:

Personally, I don’t find it surprising that not everything is normally distributed. Why should any real phenomenon follow a theoretical limiting distribution anyway, never mind a symmetric, infinite-tailed distribution that is exact only in an unachievable limit? The surprise is that so many things _are_ sufficiently near normality for it to be useful!

Though I meet the criteria as stated (knowledge level wise - I'm a retired IT Exec/long time geek), yet this still is a bit too esoteric for me.

As one of the 'killer apps' for ethereum is smart contracts, I'd like to see this explained in a 'for dummies' high level way, then decomposed into the finer technical chunks needed to make it happen.
JavaScript is the defacto standard... despite glaring issues and confusion (== vs === for example).

PHP is a massive player... despite incoherent implementations, inconsistent name spaces, glaring holes in functionality...

Both of those are popular not because they are the "Best"... but because they are popular. They came out at the right time and got the momentum in the right spots.

Granted... some of that might be my own opinion, but those languages have MASSIVE issues and shortcomings. They aren't at the top because of "demonstrable superiority". They are at the top in spite of the issues.
A lot of these things don't matter to new people.

Prototype based inheritance vs class based inheritance will confuse exactly zero new people, since they will have zero prior experience with class based inheritance. Heck, if the goal is to teach algorithmic thinking and imperative programming (Stanford classes are 10 weeks long) then different forms of OOP don't matter at all.

Hoisting is weird, but is one of those things that can be worked around by teaching proper patterns and is no more mysterious to new people than whitespace errors in python or the magic word "static" in java or operator overloading in C++ or nightmarish type error messages in haskell.
Not necessarily if those startups who become successful end up satisfying the market. So you never really know.

> If you wouldn't let Donald Trump manage your 401k, maybe we shouldn't give our retirement funds (SS) to the government. How about your health insurance? Want him running that? etc.

Your analogy is poor: I wouldn't want Trump running the fire department, but I want that as a government function. We know what privatizing a fire department does.

Trump is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is a set of people willing to swallow propaganda and fear, uncritically.
Its not too late! Socialize more, exercise everyday, and take something for depression! Learn new things, I had a rough spell a few years ago which took its toll.

It does not give you more from that list. MobX is, by design, non-prescriptive about who's touching your stores, how they're being passed around, how they're being updated, or how the API of your store looks. It's all fine if you have one or two developers but is a dangerous thing for large teams.

Have you used Redux's devtools? I wouldn't give those up for anything. Not sure if MobX has anything comparable.

It's also the most subjective; people drastically vary in what they value in their city. It seems like more money is the most universally uniform factor which is why it's treated as the main value focus of all these surveys.

Its the interactions between assets, agreements and trusted devices which opens up possibilities greater than the scope of this thinking.
Don't know why this was downvoted, it is relevant. That's the main reason why hacks like PJAX/turbolinks were invented in the first place, not having to reparse the same JS and CSS for every page change has a noticeable impact in perceived performance.
Saying library authors are content with their absence is probably a bit too strong. There's not really another option, and I doubt many folks would choose not to author libraries for this reason alone. I personally have found their absence annoying when writing Rust libraries.

I'd probably be in favor of a hard cap on # of function arguments. :)
There are lots of cases where lying is a crime, and I think most people agree that this is as it should be. So I feel like "I don't want the government to have the authority to decide what is and isn't true" can't possibly be the right reason, because the government already does that and it's not even controversial.

For example: Do you feel the same way about, say, drug advertising? Can I tell people my mercury tablets are actually basil and that they cure cancer? What about pretending to be a police officer? What about soliciting investments with false guarantees?

I don't think most people feel that these things need to be legal. So it seems more like a nuanced question of where to draw lines than a clear-cut "the government must not be able to punish lying."

I don't see why not....pointless hyperbole doesn't help with many points.
Absolutely!

I should mention that I have already covered the basics, which is why I strongly believe this is a social problem. I have:

- Seen a doctor, gotten blood tests done, and verified all is "normal"

- Eaten very healthy, home cooked meals since I started WFH.

- Exercise 4-5 times a week. I am in "good" shape, and I am looking at registering to run my first marathon soon.

- Drink lots of water. Mostly avoid alcohol.
It only differs by a constant factor, so in the end it doesn't matter when you want the asymptotic complexity of storing all primes up to x.
Hmm, why is that?
