2to3 gets all the good low hanging fruit syntatic fixes I've found, but it really comes down to the str/bytes divergence and how mucked up the mixing was in the py2 code. His comment here is the clinch...

But it should not be unexpected for the number to be higher. For years people who weigh hundreds of pounds are hitting each other repeatedly. And they are paid considerably well for it. Plus, we should compare this to other sports as well, as even most non-contact sports (soccer, basketball, even baseball) have collisions from time to time. Football should have a higher percentage than those, but without knowing the percentages in even 'safe' sports, these numbers are practically meaningless.

The real issue would arise if they can somehow test high school students and find similarly high percentages (90+ percent), but since you can't test right now until they are deceased (from what I understand), that would be extremely hard to do.

So earlier on HN I was wondering how two willing co-workers could proposition each other for casual sex without creating sexual harassment problems for themselves or the company.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14854649

The Oneida cult was basically a business where everyone worked but also had lots of casual sex and they had a solution. Elder women served as the go-between. Men would not ask women directly for sex. This is a bit like Tinder with a trusted person to tally swipe rights and swipe lefts.

From the article: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/the-polyamorous-chr...

"“The word ‘interview’ was the Oneidans’ euphemism for a sexual rendezvous,” Wayland-Smith says. “It was mostly men who requested the interviews, but they would never ask a woman directly. A couple of older, respected women of the Community acted as go-betweens. A man would say, ‘I want to have an interview with so-and-so,’ and he would ask this go-between to speak to the woman. In theory, a woman could decline without being embarrassed. In practice, the group was small enough that there was definitely social pressure like, ‘It will be good for you to sleep with this person.’"

There would be less social pressure in this cross between LinkedIn, Legal Zoom and Tinder because it would be a SAAS app and not a person being the go-between, but it still would probably be a problem if the office started getting gossipy, which would inevitably happen.

Keeping people from discrimination may be about as difficult as perfecting genetic engineering.
I think this is the wrong interpretation; your answer would be correct if the rope were hovering at a height of 10 km along the full length.

My interpretation is that the rope is pulled taut to a height of 10 km at a single point, so that it runs in a straight line to the horizon in either direction and lays on the ground the rest of the way; this is also relevant to the question of longest line of sight from a given height.
theres a difference between inequality in the sense of "a junior developer makes 60k, a senior developer makes 100k" (what you're talking about, and which is totally fine) and the inequality that actually exists, whereby a small number of extraordinarily wealthy people control a massive proportion of wealth while those in poverty lack access to food security, healthcare, childcare, the basic necessities of life.

Process Is No Substitute for Culture
Remember back when Ghost's slogan was "Just a blogging platform?"

I've been following them off and on for years, because I liked the notion that it'd be good to create a modern version of WordPress that focused on blogging. But they've swept that vision of Ghost under the carpet -- excuse me, they've pivoted -- to claim:

Ghost was founded in April 2013, after a very successful Kickstarter campaign to create a new platform focused solely on professional publishing."

And, okay, but maybe they should remove the link to that Kickstarter page, given that the word professional* doesn't appear on it once. Yes, they say "Ghost is a platform dedicated to one thing: Publishing," but they go on to say "Ghost allows you to write and publish your own blog," a use case that is, to say the least, significantly downplayed by their current messaging.

I wish them well in Creating The Future Of Publishing™, I guess. Meanwhile, great application idea: maybe someone could create a modern version of WordPress that focuses on blogging.

(Yes, Jekyll Hugo static site generators woo, but for people who are not HN regulars, having something you don't need to build and deploy from the command line is a nice thing. I went with WP for my new web site because despite my sincere belief that WP's internals are a series of dumpster fires connected by require() statements, WP's dashboard -- and its API -- are pretty useful. Ironically, from what I can tell Ghost is way behind on both of those fronts, even at 1.0.)
> Me. In general, the less intelligent people are, the less they contribute to society. I'd rather live in an engineered society with engineered people.

If you are looking for bang for the buck in raising the average IQ across the whole population, then there are serious quick wins in eliminating things that drag it down. For instance, exposure to lead. And it's doable, hardly rocket science or genetic engineering.

If you're looking for a few very rich people to give their offspring another advantage over the rest, then genetic engineering becomes more pertinent.
"A lot of money" is also known as "Fuck you money". Enough money that you can say "fuck you" to anyone without worrying about the consequences.

$1M is not even close to that, especially not for a young guy who has to pay for the next 60 years of his and his family's existence.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good starting point, and you can definitely be reasonably secure on it if you invest wisely and continue to work (e.g., buying a reasonably-priced house in a stable neighborhood and staying in it long term; this will take about 1/3 of that $1M, btw), but it's not enough to be truly independent. A single serious lawsuit will easily drain $1M, for example.
You forgot to mention my favorite dual-pane file manager for Windows: [FreeCommander](http://freecommander.com/).

I know fman is still pretty young, so for now I'm sticking with FreeCommander. Also, fman was too slow using Windows network drives which I have to use at work. Local files are fine. Plus, there are a few features of FreeCommander that I can't live without including the tab interface, multi-file renamer, built-in archive handling, and many more. Although fman does look like a cool project, hopefully it will catch up in terms of speed and functionality with user-provided plugins.
You're absolutely right.

And of course someone is paying for the insurance. Even if it's given as part of your employment, that's money that your employer could otherwise be using for other things (maybe even giving it to you as your salary...that's how we got into the employer-provided health insurance mess in the first place -- salary was taxable, insurance wasn't).
Totally agreed, but given the engineering efforts that Google have gone through to make the hardware and software stack work in harmony and given Google employees use Chromebooks the author of the article wants to set up a working dev environment by adding to Chrome rather than nuking it and coming up with a semi-custom solution. My first comment was to point this out.

We all know you can put Chromebooks into dev mode and load Ubuntu, in fact I thought it was necessary to get the most out of Chromebooks. If it turns out that Chromebooks can make decent dev environments without nuking and installing Ubuntu or whatever and if they can run Android apps then Chromebook suddenly become a very interesting value proposition.

I'm not sure I really agree - if you're poor, how many international flights are you making per year? This seems like a tax targeting those who can most afford it rather than least.
Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say a lot more power - and apple could potentially integrate it with their existing push service.

Would it be, in a way, pushing costs onto users? potentially. But, it's a matter of shipping something that works at the loss of some battery and data usage (minimal) or spending 6 months to a year learning and developing a native app which is more efficient for end users. But both approaches are subject to market validation - one lets you reach validation quickly, the other requires quite a detour.

So, I'd rather not throw away all that time. If I can get notifications that work, even if only checked every 10 minutes vs. instant, I would be happy. Then, if there is market fit and proper demand, I can likely afford the time/money to build out a native experience.

Sure. Social graph - Not many options.
Feeling camaraderie is not exclusive to football. I felt that same thing being in the marching band and playing soccer. It is a good thing for young people to belong to a team and work together to achieve a common goal.

Because it's possible to experience the benefits of camaraderie without the risks of brain damage, it's sensible to question if football is too dangerous for children.

It seems like a lot of people are trying to solve your problem, but I'll just answer the direct question as a data point. Yes, I am still having a good time on Twitter, and I have been since shortly after it launched. It has definitely changed in many ways, good and bad, but overall I still use it a lot and enjoy it. That doesn't mean you have to :)

Honestly, we could have a cleaner XML. There's plenty of cruft there, the language could be easier to parse and navigate. We could also have a cleaner XSLT while keeping it's completeness.

We could have a better DOM too. It could be more semantic, and more modular. The good thing is that on this one we are moving in the right direction.

CSS would gain by becoming Turing complete. It also could be aware of runtime values.

But yes, JSON, YAML, and ProtoBuffers are all worsened versions of it. The good news is that we abandoned SOAP, but at the cost of abandoning service directories too.
It might be faster than Atom, but it surely feels sluggish compared with other native editors on my system.

I only put up with it due to being the editor with the best support for Rust plugins.

The day I can have the same experience on Emacs for Rust, VSCode gets kicked out.
This has not been accurate at all in my experience. It really came down to whether the code had supported non-ASCII text before — if there's a huge amount of bytes/str conflation, it's a mess but if it followed good Python 2 practice it's been very close to convert and run.
Don't you think any kind of challenge in a team setting would have provided the same growth without the side effect of possibly irreversible brain damage?

I'm happy you like football, but I don't think you can say it forms character in a unique way, it's just a team sport and there's tons of team sport where hitting people with your head aren't the bread and butter of it.

Try volleyball, if you have to fuck up something I would rather go with the knees and hips rather than the head.
The graph view on this is really awesome! Kudos guys on a neat product!

Its pretty common to use your head to physically stop or even change the direction of the ball in Soccer. There are accidents of course, but the standard norms of Soccer still don't seem very healthy for the brain.

I'm aware of the "Football towns" across USA. Basketball is bigger in my area though, which might be why I hear more about Basketball-related injuries.
Indeed I just wish it worked both ways. Entering the country is a breeze; going out of the country has (so far) found me parked in a long line with everyone else. On the other hand it's a small price to pay to travel and see the world. I'm not going to complain.
"In the case of a C compiler your code is mere data "

A compiler tool chain typically _does_ insert code that you didn't write. For example, seen from the point of the loader, the entry point of an executable is not main. Similarly, one could argue that the function prologs and epilogs that gcc generates fall under the GPL.

Because of that, I think it is understandable that the BSD projects aren't willing to bet the existence of their projects "you code is mere data".
I think PC clients back then paginated too. They didn't group emails by thread either, and at least Outlook still doesn't by default.

In which case this is your answer; they're worried about knockoffs, because without the firmware logic their devices are simple commodities, ie don't really have strong differentiators from the competition.
People generally don't retire to $25k/year, especially if they eventually get married and have children. The only way to really make something like that work is to move somewhere extremely inexpensive like SEA. That's unrealistic for most people.

This is the one thing that has always struck me as odd abut the FIRE community. FIRE is a good goal but it's highly abnormal for people to retire early with these very low annual salaries for themselves. Sure, it works if you're a single childless 30 year old. But you also generally have to be comfortable staying single and childless if you're going to "retire" to $25k/year.

this is an issue ive seen raised a lot lately and something a mycologist friend of mine has been championing for years, being a curious cat i decided to experiment with it and while it offers some benefits id personally argue that its not as effective as the likes of modafinil or ADHD medication such as amphetamines or methylphenidate.

it also comes with the extra added issue that its very easy to accidentally end up having taken too much, unless you happen to be a very well equipped chemist then youre probably not the one measuring your doses not to mention the potential variability of effects between different synths of the chemical

during my experiment i think one tab must have been slightly higher dosed than the others resulting in a small "i need to get the hell out of here now!" moment in the supermarket, not enough that anyone would have noticed and it was gone pretty quickly but it highlighted the potential shortcomings of a chemical thats so potent and can much more significantly alter your perception than straight stimulants can.
And that's one of the things they actually improved in the Sonic Adventure series: they placed Homing Attack targets in just the right places throughout the level so if you've gotten good at the game, you'll be able to hit them in succession without ever touching the ground/falling out.
The only reason you don't hear of NFL slump is that contracts between broadcast networks and the league are negotiated well into the future.

TV cord cutting is on the rise, TV usage is down, having to compete with online and mobile time, ESPN figures drag down the entire Disney empire, ESPN is going through layoffs almost each month, seems like. When the time finally comes for cable networks to re-negotiate the deals, NFL numbers won't look as pretty.

Which means lower expenses, higher consolidation, lower player salaries, etc. It won't disappear entirely, but will be just another sport like NASCAR or horse racing, reaching a rather narrow group of avid followers.
How Will Deep Learning Algorithms Change in the Future?
Dude. Multiple blows to the head causes CTE. And it starts as early as high school which is when tackle football starts. At this point it is immoral and unethical to have tackle football in schools.
Where did you get the 99% from?

I thought the conclusion from that study was at least 9% of NFL players would gone on to develop CTE. This estimate was made by making a conservative (but very unrealistic estimate) that EVERY player that did not donate their brains did not have CTE.
I use https://dribbble.com/ in combination with random Google searches. I also use digital-based inspiration like Houzz or architectural blogs as well for color schemes.
So if I read this right, I am supposed to trust a contract that sits on top of a mutable 'OS' that is managed by the community? I feel like all of these contract-as-code groups really need to have a lawyer on their team as well; for some reason, it seems like developers believe they understand the purpose of financial/other contracts and how they're actually used.

Would you sign a contract that references a contract that can be changed at anytime without your agreement?

A lot of strategy games and RPGs suffer from the same.

Starcraft II for instance was a lot more fun IMO when it was new and the strategies hadn't been refined. I remember wasting a ton of time/resources turtling, building a giant mass of carriers and then steam-rolling the map, just because I could and thought the visual of a dozen carriers sweeping the map would be awesome (it was). Good luck doing that now in a public server.

Too many games have obsessive fans that are hell-bent on discovering the mathematically perfect way to play a game, and once the one or half-dozen working formulae are discovered, that's it. No one else can play any other way and hope to win, and that really takes the creativity and fun out of it. I'm not sure where these people come from, I got into video games as a distraction from math homework, not an extension of it. :P
They were happy because 80/100 is better than 0/100.

But how much happier would they be with 100/100. Just because you feed your guests chicken and they like it doesn’t mean that they would not like lobster more.

A good MacOS or Windows Dev can move just as fast as a web developer trying to make fake-native apps.
> You don't need to do any of this to secure the network though.

Not doing those things actually weakens the network. If most users operated a node like the one you described, there would be several negative effects on the overall network's health:

* It would take longer to relay transactions: full nodes would be less interconnected and there will be more "hops" between any two nodes. This in itself can cause many problems: it gives miners an incentive to centralize geographically (latency increases orphan rate) and can make a 51% attack slightly easier.

* The network will become more vulnerable to DoS attacks, because only nodes that relay transactions need to be targeted.

* Full nodes will have even higher bandwith requirements, because they will have to relay transactions to more nodes (that don't relay in turn), like a torrent with many leechers.

It's kind of like how the development of popcorn time is bad for the health of torrent networks (not the same though, different reasons).

> Anyway, that's not even my main point. I just thing that I think this particular problem is overblown and used as a bogeyman by the opposing party. Not that "big blockers" are without blame, there are insane conspiracy theories on both side and even in between.

I made a falsifiable prediction about reality.

To be fair, there are a lot of people in the NFL, and all of them are usually 20-40 year old men. The fact that some of them get convicted of crimes does not surprise me. It may be shocking if the percentage of criminals in the NFL was much higher than non-professional athletes I guess?

Urg, that's unfortunate. This is totally baffling, Overcast is literally the only third-party app I use on my Watch, and it seems to be one of the only apps that was serious about Watch support. With watchOS struggling with dev support, you'd think Apple would be tripping over themselves to help out the few devs who actually use it.
