Yes, I've heard of that. Some follow-up articles I've read [1] [2] say that the evidence against (or for) Planet Nine is still inconclusive. But the question should be settled one way or another: Planet Nine will either be there or it won't.

As someone who maintains an unknown but very large(several MLOC) free Pascal code base, I must say that I can't see much reason in the Pascal hate.

Sure, I would love to rewrite the whole thing in Lisp (which is the language that lets me keep my soul), but we are all in all still very happy with the current code base.

A complete recompile is less than 20 minutes, and then about half that time is spent in guile for macro expansion (we have a macro DSL). We have considered porting it to chez scheme, but we rarely do full recompiles.

Pascal lends itself well to big codebase, but will probably never again be a new cool thing. I do however believe that being able to test a big change on a Dev machine in less than 10s gives us a pretty big advantage over similar solutions in other languages.
Why not? I don't know the exact numbers involved, but if, for the sake of argument, the maid has 30 clients and a maid service costs $100 per month, the maid would make $3000 a month before taxes etc. Surely there's at least a possibility that the rest of his or her expenses are low enough that they can afford a $100 maid service of their own. Especially if they are living with someone and can divide the living expenses.

As someone who has picked up literally tons of plastic trash off Pacific beaches with my bare hands, let me be the first to say that you have no idea what you are talking about. Charles has consistently been on the forefront of discovery in environmental concerns and has been proven right over and over again, and you want to berate him for exaggerating. He's not exaggerating, he's just ahead of the curve.

Also, please don't conflate estimates with eye witness accounts. If you want to dispute his claims, use data from actual expeditions.

Doesn't that mean that a whole blockchain could possibly be deemed illegal in some country due to copyright infringement or other liability of publications laws?

I mean if you can't erase the data and keep publishing it, some would say you are liable.

I see that as a particularly twisted legal argument, but couldn't some country use that against blockchain infrastructure if they feel like it?

It migt be just me, but I honestly don't understand why people would use an HTTP API to send mail.

SMTP really is a very simple protocol, that's matured for decades now. Also it is fully specified by RFCs.

I can see why mail services that provide templating (eg Mandrill) have special APIs, they offer something different from sending regular emails.

This specific REST API seems more like a standin for sendmail, which IMO makes things only more complicated.
From what I can see it uses VueJS for the UI and websockets for server communication. I would bet that the backend is in NodeJS :).
how about stop selling your single sided story? Baidu's involvement in those healthcare scams got its reputation totally trashed, which in turn failed numerous Baidu products.

it is also highly laughable for your private health insurance joke. there is _no_ Chinese law requiring any company to provide _private_ health insurance to anyone. Public healthcare levy is required by the law, that is all.

I think that while it is true, and I am a big C++ fan, given it was my path after Turbo Pascal, exactly because I am a fan of Wirth and Xerox PARC languages I also know there are better paths.

An example is the work being done in .NET Native, C#'s roadmap up to 8 picking up Midori's work, D, Swift, Java 10 and so on.

C++ got this position, because the others stop caring about those issues.

Now that they finally started caring about them, lets see what the future holds.
You could also try the Firefox Focus which comes with inbuilt adblocker and tracking protection. However, it doesn't support multiple tabs and you lose all data every time you close the application. It's perfect for one off browsing sessions where you just want to look something up.
I'm going to disagree that that is a clear win over my idea.

There are definitely issues with printing paper ballots (low toner, running out of supplies at polling locations, handling cases where the voter discovers an error after printing &c.), but similarly there are problems with optical tallying machines (e.g. hanging chads, incompletely filled in bubbles).
Impressive. What is the codebase?

Why wouldn't 100GB tables be in a single machine? It's not that much data. I'm comfortably running a 3TB table on PostgreSQL, which is growing at a rate of about 75GB a month.

The machine isn't even that beefy, 128 GB of RAM, dual mid range Xeons, and prosumer SSDs in RAID 10. I would rather spend money in PCI-E SSDs, 300+ GB of RAM, and high end CPUs if it meant I didn't have to implement sharding at an application level.

>it just has to charge a battery (or some other means of energy storage) which is reliable.

That's not true. Let's say you build your system with enough solar panels to fully charge batteries that lasts 3 days. And lets say sun doesn't shine for 4 days, which is not uncommon. Where is your reliability? Lets say you are designing a system to have reliable power. How many days worth of power backup would you design it to support?

>Also worth mentioning (at the risk of being very pedantic) that solar is technically nuclear power.

Yeah, and fossil fuels is solar. I don't see how it's worth mentioning.

Pretending something does not exist will not make it to go away. Yes, you will hardly find pure introvert or extrovert, but you will find plenty of people not in the middle of the scale and those can be called introverts or extroverts.
It's like claiming that gays and straight people do not exist because there are no 100% gay or 100% straight people.

Yes introverts do some "extroverted" stuff, and may be even very good at that. What makes them different from extroverts is that extroverts get energised by doing that, and introverts get drained.

No matter how probable it is, without a definitive assessment, it is not responsible to announce such a dark diagnosis without certainty. You can't send people in this nightmarish process (as described in the article) if there's still a small % chance it is not the definitive diagnosis.

And yes, pathological diagnosis is rather long, ie a little week at least so the tissue can be fixated with paraffine, have immunohistochemical markers determine the type, etc. Yet I've visited a place when they could do fast recognition on breast cancers while the patient was on the table, and depending on the result either directly remove lymphatic nodes or not, but I guess this fast coloration is not available for less common tumors.

Even if IAs do the reading, for the moment there will still be delay to have a diagnosis.
Agreed and I am not arguing to regulate the obvious but now as AI can potentially touch and transform every walk of life, guidelines are needed to keep big players from going too far. There won't be any ground for plausible deniability if principals are set.

For example I think when deep learning is bound to touch every aspect of our lives, explainable models should be a must[1]. Look at section 3.5 where classifier was predicting with 94% accuracy for completely unrelated reasons like a person's name.

>Although this classifier achieves 94% held-out accuracy, and one would be tempted to trust it based on this, the explanation for an instance shows that predictions are made for quite arbitrary reasons (words “Posting”, “Host”, and “Re” have no connection to either Christianity or Atheism). The word “Posting” appears in 22% of examples in the training set, 99% of them in the class “Atheism”. Even if headers are removed, proper names of prolific posters in the original newsgroups are selected by the classifier, which would also not generalize.

If allowed industry will choose to ignore the downside in a race to capture market. For example industry is trying to play catchup in the area of security only after it became a serious issues. Its not that principals were not known, it's just that industry choose to ignore them[2]. If same happens to AI, it could result is widespread loss of human life. Tesla death is a perfect example of this where autopilot simply failed to distinguish between white trailer and brightly lit sky[3].

Personally, I have it set as my default browser, so that any links that I click on in other applications open up in it and then I also have my full-blown Firefox installed for when I need to do actual browsing.

Works out really well, as Focus starts up extremely quickly (uses the native Android Webview), and I usually don't need each and every link in my browsing history, and it also means that my proper Firefox doesn't get filled up with random tabs that I didn't close out of properly.
Not only have I experienced this as a drug...nerd with black friends, but I've even seen a police officer defer blame for a one-hitter found underneath a seat of a car we occupied pinned on the only black occupant, the irony was that it was neither of ours, but the drivers.

This happened about 10 years ago in Arizona while I was in high school. As I sat in the back of a police car with my black friend, the officer asked whos pipe it was. Our silence got him automatically assigned blame.

I'll never forget the pudgy officer who took in our silence, looked directly at Josiah and said "well, you will probably be blamed for it." He then closed the door and shortly afterwards I was uncuffed and Josiah was taken away on bullshit charges none of us had the balls to take the rap for.

The deck is stacked. In my new town with new black friends they cannot believe that police don't even look at the car when I'm driving.

Regardless of the occupants or color of the occupants, a car with a handicap plate with a young white man driving is apparently not in the profiling training.

I think you're being a little bit unfair. The same block then continues:

This is called an integer overflow. At best, we might just get an error. At worst, our computer might compute the correct answer but then just throw out the 9th bit, giving us zero (0000 0000) instead of 257 (1 0000 0000)! (Python actually notices that the result won't fit and automatically allocates more bits to store the larger number.)

The article is introducing the concept of integer overflow.
Maybe you're on an older version of Chrome? I can't be bothered to do the research but I recall Object.entries being a (relatively) recent addition.
That library the author linked to target Linux, FMXLinux, costs $1500 to use. And that's the problem with Delphi: its ecosystem. They are anti-open, anti-share, and charge ridiculous sums of money - with questionable quality. There is nothing like Pythons pip, Rubys gems, or Rusts crates, with a plethora of free libraries.

It has been that way since well before I started using Object Pascal.
I would argue that Async in F# is just a library. Async tasks are essentially just functions that are composed using the more general "workflow" syntax. The final composite Async must be explicitly run with a choice of scheduler.

I suspect Libraries-not-frameworks is only advice for those using sufficiently expressive languages. So probably not appropriate advice for JavaScript.
> the 640Kb quote

I read somewhere[1] that the quote is technically accurate but taken out of context, in that it did not mean that 640K were enough for everyone forever. And at the time the IBM PC was introduced, 640K were plenty of RAM for a single user.

Scared by Tesla?
I believe that Tesla is far ahead of any electric car maker in the world right now. The three stage vision of making an affordable car by Elon Musk is now a reality.

Most of the elite car makers like Mercedes and BMW cannot price their units down to $35000.

Tesla didn't only think of making a car but also they have created a web of charging stations in US.

Tesla Model 3 will be everywhere by 2020.
Not exactly. It's true that Neptune was discovered that way and that people found Pluto while looking for a "Planet X" that would explain other gravitational discrepancies:

In the 1840s, Urbain Le Verrier used Newtonian mechanics to predict the position of the then-undiscovered planet Neptune after analyzing perturbations in the orbit of Uranus. Subsequent observations of Neptune in the late 19th century led astronomers to speculate that Uranus's orbit was being disturbed by another planet besides Neptune.[1]

However it turned out that Pluto was not Planet X after all. After all Neptune and Uranus are respectively about 7900 and 6700 times more massive than Pluto.

In 1978, the discovery of Pluto's moon Charon allowed the measurement of Pluto's mass for the first time: roughly 0.2% that of Earth, and far too small to account for the discrepancies in the orbit of Uranus. Subsequent searches for an alternative Planet X, notably by Robert Sutton Harrington, failed. In 1992, Myles Standish used data from Voyager 2's flyby of Neptune in 1989, which had revised the estimates of Neptune's mass downward by 0.5%—an amount comparable to the mass of Mars—to recalculate its gravitational effect on Uranus. With the new figures added in, the discrepancies, and with them the need for a Planet X, vanished. Today, the majority of scientists agree that Planet X, as Lowell defined it, does not exist. Lowell had made a prediction of Planet X's orbit and position in 1915 that was fairly close to Pluto's actual orbit and its position at that time; Ernest W. Brown concluded soon after Pluto's discovery that this was a coincidence, a view still held today.[2]

We just launched: https://personalcrm.followup.cc

It's chrome extension that adds a sidebar to your Gmail to help you manage your relationships.

We import your Google Contacts, so that might be helpful for your case. Its a one way only sync right now (we just pull in contacts), but we'll be release 2 way sync with Google Contacts in the future.

You can then set reminders to followup, add notes to contacts (like how you met, relationship significance, etc.), group by tags, and schedule events with them from your inbox.

Another feature that we're releasing this week is Contact FollowUp reminders. You pick an interval for how often you want to communicate with contact (bi-weekly, 1 month, quarterly, 6 months) then get reminded to reachout ONLY if there hasn't been communication between you two.

And, because this is hacker news. Our stack consists of React, Rails, and some Go all hosted on Google Cloud.
