I feel like I'm going mad as I read these comments. Kids outgrow their baseball gloves every few years. How in the world is one supposed to buy some kind of "lifetime" baseball glove for a kid?

I absolutely and unsarcastically adore the concept of buying things for life. I really do. When I read this article, my first thought was: "I want one of those gloves." However, that concept seldom makes any sense when it comes to anything that a child wears.

I'm pretty sure most of the people expressing the "buy your kid a quality baseball glove for life!" sentiment have no experience with (a) baseball (b) baseball gloves (c) children.
You can without loss of generality assume that the weights are integers (if they are rational, you can multiply all weights so that they become integral).

Hence, you can use bisection to compute the actual optimum, not involving epsilon at all.
Why does caffeine "dependence" concern you? It's extremely harmless and for the vast majority of the population the sole remaining effect is that of a very slight laxative.

Frankly, people drinking coffee over sugary beverages is a public health win.
For this environment (ie. you already have some kind of concurrent GC) it is probably significantly easier problem for Ruby than for Python.

Ruby does not have that much dynamism compated to "everything is dict of pointers to dicts" Python.
It still has some pretty asinine behavior in search. Every time I've used it, the search suggestions will often pick something on the far side of the country or a different country altogether. It did this as recently as July for me; the last time I tried it.

I was flabbergasted when it suggested a bed and breakfast in Cape Town, South Africa, instead of the one 3 miles away by the same name. (I'm in the US)
Yeah, nix doesn't feel right on debian because it can't manage services and doesn't use the "standard" packaging idioms. Is there someone else with a different experience or a workaround?
The point I want to stress is that text is keeping kids from coding. Like I said, even with punctuation-less text, the game was deemed difficult. Simpler and forgiving syntax simply would not help. The IDE in the game is actually extremely forgiving and could just as well walk players through the syntax, but interest levels then drop off. This is the difference between in theory and in practice.

Yes there are kids that had no problem with text or without text. Of course kids can and have learned to code with textual languages. Same with math.

The main idea here is that you can get an even larger population of kids doing math and coding, and engaging, by adopting pictographs first. As demonstrated in DragonBox. As seen in our own testing.
They used an already existing hull.

Also lower standards and total war economy will do wonders for speed of production.

That simply not true, it's the slippery-slope fallacy. Observe: "When you let them take away any weapons, they'll take away all the weapons. Therefore, it should be my right to own nuclear weapons".

It's not a slippery slope fallacy. It's the typical American view on free speech.

VS say Canada where Nazi's aren't protected in spreading their hate.
I think they're trying to claim it's a pandemic in Silicon Valley culture, rather than a pandemic in business culture universally.

While I haven't seen many hard statistics on the matter, the cultural interpretation is definitely that SV has a hard time with women and minorities. Highly prominent examples in the news like Uber don't improve this image. Also the conversation around Google (regardless of your "stance") has been filled with vitriol lately.

While I'm still questioning where I stand amidst the Google stuff lately, it's pretty clear that there are some really screwed up people in this industry that legitimately think women can't do as well in this job (not saying Google was an example of this, it's just that story brought a lot of the roaches out from under the fridge).

Going by Google searches, it looks like the NYtimes has been writing a lot of stories about sexual harassment in SV. Some have been pretty click-baity opinion pieces, but overall I think their coverage has been quite good.

So my point is, this may not actually be a "pandemic" but SV is where this stuff is being talked about in context to. So it makes sense to frame the conversation as "Why is SV where all these stories are coming from anyways?"

(You could always just say that the "Fake Nytimes is just looking for clicks again" but I find that argument misses the forest for the trees.)
The problem is a lot of people believe that Benchmark has interest in the short-term success (until it IPOs) due to its fund cycle. So it's pretty obvious that there's no such "shared" interest here. Which is why this letter comes off as deceitful
A great blog post.

I feel that Firebase has a lot of services - and one should seriously consider what you are getting for the cost too.

Firebase Authentication - Basically free. You can pay for something like Auth0 and use the Firebase Admin SDK to add Firebase Users on authentication through Auth0 then let that service be your source of truth. Alternatively, you can spin up your own auth service on a firebase function using Passport.js and, again, roll your own solution.

Firebase Hosting - Pretty solid. Nothing crazy great and nothing crazy bad. Easy to deploy and host static files to the edges.

Firebase Database - What firebase needs is a proper NoSQL, but you can get that in the Google Cloud Services. As a Real-time layer for clients, it is pretty good. Not so great if your corporation is on AWS. But, there are options (like deepstream.io) that might require a bit more setup work. How long until every cloud provider has a real-time data layer offering though? Firebase won't hold this space forever.

Firebase Functions - Now, there are a number of comparisons around the functions vs AWS, Azure, etc.. Functions are what they are and they all perform better/worse in various ways. Deploying Firebase Functions is WAY easier than spinning up Lambdas. That said, The Serverless framework makes that much easier too... Serverless actually supports many cloud providers.

If you want to have a real-time app, Firebase, Deepstream, SocketCluster, etc... None of those should probably be your "core" database anyway. They are all great data-sync solutions.

I think that people using Firebase should be aware of growth paths and if they think they will need a feature, build for it. Abstract your code so you can move away from Firebase or extend it with other services. Treat the Firebase Database as the handy real-time layer, but consider storing your data in a proper database elsewhere.

Remember, you can do a complex query in another database and then use the ID results to point the client to Firebase records to sync to (for instance). This, of course, applies to other solutions too. Heck, Deepstream provides RPC calls so you can make those queries then subscribe to your results (if you need real-time results).
I've been wanting to do this, but I think I'll probably have to take 2 weeks of PTO to do that, unfortunately. At least it's a relatively benign addiction, I suppose.
I quit for a while by switching to black tea. Lots and lots of the stuff, and working down from there.
Looks nice. I didn't try this version. My last attempt was on F-Droid last month, just before the upgrade.

Why is "amphetamines" italicized?

Also, it appears parent has an unusual level of caffeine intake, and did much better when they were taking amphetamines.
Awesome explanation, thanks!

FWIW, the jurisdiction in this case seems to be Delaware. Nobody can know what the facts are until a court or jury determines them...
I think the concept is awesome and I hope that my comment won't be taken as cynical:

I get the dedication part but some people may have commitments that they can't avoid at all - childcare, for example. Having commitments shouldn't be confused with lacking dedication, IMO. For me, the biggest USP about a remote school, or any MOOC really, is the flexibility that it offers. Structured, yes, but 3-5 hours a day would be more manageable than 9-5 five days a week. That will probably add extra months to the course though - but that's OK, a Masters takes 1-2 years for comparison.

Of course Lambda instructors are world-class, but technically you can train yourself; there are very good guides signposting to free resources, and online communities for support. It might not be to the level of depth that the Lambda course offers, but is indepth knowledge really a key employability trait? (I'm not questioning the value of knowledge.) After all, many recruiters now emphasise on having a good portfolio over a certificate.

But hey this is more like a feedback than a criticism. I sincerely think that this concept is super and hope that the Academy succeeds :)
Lockitron locked me out of my apartment. Danalock jammed in the middle of unlocking and made it very difficult to get inside. You know what works 24x7? My car's door. Why is this so hard?
Here in the US, I think we've seen what the rhetoric of false equivalency gets us. Go peddle that somewhere else.
It would be a psychiatrist, not a psychologist.

And all insurance plans do cover mental health per the ACA... It is one of the ten benefits that must be covered on all plans under the law.
I stopped drinking it for a year just to see what difference it made - it felt like more even energy over the day, but mornings lost something - so I have two strong cups very early now and no caffeine after 9am - except maybe tea

Some of the energy thing is related to dehydration I suspect - if I drink more water over the day it has same effect as stopping coffee
There are, see Etherdelta. And also projects like 0xproject.com are working on going entirely trustless.
Not all tonic water is low cal, a 350 mL bottle can be 100 calories from the 30g of sugar added.
If P=NP, then finding an algorithm is, by certain definition, exactly as easy as proving an algorithm correct! This is, after all, the gist of what P vs NP means. And this is why it's such a huge deal - the problem is almost self-referential in nature.
As many large enterprise shops migrate to cloud, they need a way to handle data classification and sprawl in their s3 buckets. Magic tools that can label data for them is more useful than nothing, and those big shops wont blink at the pricetag.
the actions of him at dinner in NYC and his comments there, ..., claims by his GF

Now I'm curious. Can you give more detail here or at least some links?
No, no, if you're manipulating Python objects from C code, you have to hold the lock. You can release it only when not doing anything with objects in Python's memory space. Otherwise you get race conditions and intermittent crashes.
The grantparent says as much ("... and single neuron activity"). I guess, this means careful separation in case of sparse signals, though I'm nowhere near qualified to judge.

My layman take: 9 Khz bandwidth in principle means resolution of 9000 evenly spaced peaks of different magnitude. Perhaps those correlate to different distances between each neuron and the sensor, especially if 16 channels allow for spatial resolution, and if the differences might actually be too small to resolve naively, I wouldn't doubt if I were told statistical tricks existed to filter single signals.

Overall, major features are interesting enough, I guess.
I think the reason you see the objection more here is the consolidation of information Facebook is going for.
If their only goal is to avoid criticism, not even stopping at breaking California law in order to do so, then they're well deserving of being sued. At some point they need to either be intellectually honest and ethical or pay the price, given their motto has always been an explicit claim to the paragon of virtue.
It seems as pretty much every platform has it already built-in.

Apple was first (?) to stole the idea from f.lux, and since then everyone else followed suit.

I don't see a lot of people going out of their way to install f.lux. On macOS I use the native option because it allows you to disable it for projectors and similar.
I have essentially been doing the same thing with 2-4 grams a day, and occasionally add nicotine gum as well. Fortunately I'll be getting health insurance again soon though, so I may head back to a doctor and try and get my prescription back. I've been without it for a couple years now.
There's no UX that bluetooth can't ruin.
Once my dose was titrated, I went down to 1 visit per 6 months; my Psychiatrist will mail my prescriptions monthly. They are required to see you every so often, and cannot issue a prescription for more than a month, but do not need to see you in person every month.

>Did you really think you could say that “much of what was in that memo is fair to debate” and “portions of the memo violate our Code of Conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace” without me asking you to clarify which sections you found fair for debate and which portions violated which specific portions of your Code of Conduct?

I don't think google knows where to draw the line between what is fair and what is harmful in the memo. I think they are just reacting to the media outrage. If they tried to draw the line it would just get shot down by both sides of the argument, only fueling the outrage.
Jeff Dean got his PhD under Craig Chambers doing PL work; Sanjay Ghemawat was also a compiler guy, they went on to mapreduce and I think, at least Jeff Dean, is heavily involved in Tensorflow.

Google hires a lot of PL PhDs to do work that isn't very related to PL (we joke about PL PhDs working on ads a lot). One could guess that they just make good developers because of their experience, but the specific knowledge might not be much in demand.
But they are the ur-crazy.
Just some: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_Vulkan_supp...

Plus, more games for Nintendo Switch will be using Vulkan. Also games with common engines like Unity, Unreal and Cry (that's in the future, they basically have just added or adding Vulkan support).
This is not offering your house for it. That would be if google was actually hosting their site on its servers. In this case it's a domain pointing to their content. As a registrar Google is serving the public and I doubt you can deny someone this service in a moral sense. Can a doctor deny to treat them if they end up in his office for serious injuries?
What if all registrars deny them, is it morally right to effectively erase them from the internet for simply expressing their thoughts?
the problem is that sometimes allowing one person free speech has the effect of silencing others. looking at history and the current political situation in the us, I think allowing neonazis free reign to express themselves does far more to stifle free speech than desiring censoring them does because of the threats of violence, both explicit and implicit, laced throughout everything they say and do.
That's just the interpreter's executable. All the stuff that's generated from the Python code you load, and any data it generates, is unique to the process.
Vyvanse is terrible in my experience. The release of the drug is highly irregular. I'm not sure what's responsible for this, but when I was on it, some days it wouldn't even last 8 hours and I'd have too much in my system at once, and other days it wouldn't pick up enough and then keep me up at night. Adderall XR is much more consistent.
I wouldn't be surprised if they gained a bit of respect. If I recall correctly they did everything right - they had an apparently impossible result, they spent a lot of time trying to disprove it, and when they announced they made it clear that they doubted the result. Hiding it because they were sure it was false, but couldn't disprove would have been poor science. It had to be pretty scary to make that announcement knowing there was almost no chance it wasn't going to turn out to be a problem in their setup and I admire the guts it took to do it.

Sometimes the courage of your convictions means trusting the process to get it right when you're sure you're wrong.
People lie on a spectrum of ability. An app that works with 5 year olds that have a knack for programming will work well with 8 year olds who may not. Striving for an app that's approachable at any age is the real goal.
Oh yeah! Let's hyper-simplify the socio-economic reasons Nazism got a footing into post-WW1 Germany. That'll help.

You're trying to apply free speech to dealings with a private company. They're not a government though. You get your service from Google, et al, at their pleasure. If you break their terms, they're well within their rights to show you the door. Don't like their terms, use another company or DIY.

We can chase the discrimination and protected-class-advantage rabbit down its hole, but really, this comes down to what Google (et al) considers criminal incitement to violence, which is a proven [1] exception to first amendment rights. Google doesn't have to prove things that far, but denying these violent racists their business is a good way to avoid becoming complicit.

Why are all web pages so darn slow now?
I'll answer my own question: it's because they are (almost) all bloated beyond all reason by excessive "content", fancy javascript and reams of links to CDNs and other services. Regarding the latter, each one of these now executes needlessly over https, requiring endless "TLS handshakes".
The web doesn't quite completely suck now but it's trending in that direction fast.
Ok, sure, there are actual Communist parties. That doesn't mean they're advocating violence, or actually causing real violence to occur.

revcom in particular seems like an ineffective hobby of one guy, based on Wikipedia [1].

Also, skimming around their website, I see calls to protest against fascism, but not calls to violence. [2] contains their "Points of Attention for the Revolution", which ends with We are going for an actual overthrow of this system and a whole better way beyond the destructive, vicious conflicts of today between the people. Because we are serious, at this stage we do not initiate violence and we oppose all violence against the people and among the people

I only started drinking coffee two years ago. First it was once or twice a week, then it became everyday.

About 6 months ago I started having slight muscle tremors, my doctor said it could be because of stress. I didn't tell him I started having too much coffee (nor he asked me).

But the tremors kind of increased slowly. I read on HN about some guy who had similar problem with caffeine shots. It then struck them that coffee could be the problem.

Now I rarely drink coffee and tremors are also gone.

Epsilon isn't a problem, as TSP is NP-complete even for integer weights.
Your solution needs some modification for case where we have multiple optimal cycles (as you will find edges that are included in at least one cycle).

I don't think there is anything wrong with optimization been reducible to decision - it's quite common method both in theory and in practice.

A lot of food tastes are enhanced with alcohol like wine.

Anyone on board with the whole "The tech companies are too big" thing yet?

okay I'll keep popping up every once in a while to ask.

No, but certain teas have rather high amount or caffeine in addition to L-Theanine. Especially mate. Sadly the only place I knew of near me to get that was Teavana, and they're all closing...
Depends on how you market yourself.

Example :
"Worked 2 years for PornHub on their porn website."

vs.

"Worked for 2 years for MindGeek on a streaming service network serving up to one million live customers."
And since most people are constipated, even that's probably a good thing!
Interesting, I would assume it would tank since there is a way of undermining the system.
Does anyone here have experience with Mender or similar? I'm looking to do some IoT work and over-the-air updates are still my biggest unsolved problem. I'd love any guidance on any good tools to research & investigate.
I personally never drink coffee. I do however drink tea and other drinks with caffeine in them (mostly Coca Cola). But I do wonder how much of a perceptible difference drinking coffee makes. I'm also curious whether you get a tolerance, so that heavy drinkers need to drink more to recover the same amount of energy. Can anyone give their experience?
I always assumed the hiring disparity was due to previous steps in the pipeline being biased in some way, as in this PG essay:

http://www.paulgraham.com/bias.html
I overheard one of my male co-workers telling a female co-worker that he doesn't drink. Her reaction was a literal "eww".

That's when I learned that - much like smokers - drinkers were a tribe.

(They market it as "for business", but I know several people who pay for it on their personal domain just for fewer ads, and once subscribed myself just so I could get a me@customdomain.com GMail address & YouTube account.)

It works well for people with disposable income, but a small minority of America has disposable income these days. Google probably makes a lot more money selling advertisements against everyone else than they would if they charged everybody for products, and it lets the general public access products that they'd never get otherwise.
same here, mostly because its a easy way to cut out a significant source of sugar.
>Discrimination based on advocacy of race-based violence does not, it should be noted, fall into any of those protected categories.

I agree but this policy is not applied evenly.

> a business absolutely can refuse service to customers it finds objectionable.

How was the gay wedding cake thing able to progress then?
This seems very at-odds with previous rulings (specifically, relating to craigslists many past dealings). Strikes me as being very unlikely to stand up to appeal. Also, linkedin will likely modify their websites behavior (make you click to agree before you view a profile) which would create a binding 'click wrap' stopping companies from scraping them.
Yep. And although my own work leaves me with complete creative freedom (I do all the branding), I am looking at Facebook and thinking that the small blue bar at the top is probably subtle enough to not have a big effect on the eyes. Certainly not vs. my site (https://suitocracy.com) which has... uhh, a bit more blue than that.
Is the reasoning in this case different from the Craigslist/3taps dispute?
