Funny how I was just looking for something like this. Just finished a whirlwind summer semester using Gentoo in a course on Linux admin, so I've been wanting to dig in a bit deeper.
And FWIW, I remember complaining about this to Don Syme something like 5+ years ago, and while he gave lip service to the idea that F# needed better tooling (and better tooling interop with C# specifically), I don't think he was really convinced.
... nightmarejs did that for you, too.
We could rely on AI to avoid all bias. But they'd soon be labelled 'racist'.
> Zeit's Hyper is very efficient

Ladies and gentlemen! I present you the efficient terminal application, which only needs:

Process Memory Threads
------- --------- -------
Hyper	40.8 MB	32
Hyper Helper	51.9 MB	15
Hyper Helper	18.8 MB	12
Hyper Helper	15.2 MB	4

Total: 126.7 MB 64

On a serious note, I think the insanity will stop when the operating systems will start shaming badly written applications and nudge users to get rid of them. It is in Apple/Microsoft interest, because users will blame their computers ("My Windows is getting slow...").

The phones already show the list of power hungry apps responsible for your battery life reduction, having this on a desktop would be nice too. If even a terminal needs 64 threads and 126MB of RAM now... looks like some wrist-slapping is in order...
Alternatives to Tableau?
After four months of training our data analysts how to use Tableau Server, I've just now found out Tableau won't let me serve Tableau content from our Tableau server without jumping from a $6k/year spend to a $72k/year spend, just to enable the "guest" viewer account to view the visualisations.

Has anyone run into this, or had a good experience with an alternative to provide something similar? Else we will be begrudgingly reverting to Highcharts, Indiemapper and SAS/Graph.
F# isn't generally solving problems... well, it can but rarely at the same level as it introduces problems.

People can have awfully cavalier opinions about switching languages, but it's a very heavy-weight change with strong implications for existing code, dev training (new syntax, new patterns, new pitfalls), available frameworks (often resulting in more new patterns), technology stack (which can reverberate out to testing, scalability, etc.)

Even if you assume F# is only better than C# and in no way worse, it's usually major investment to switch... typically at least an order of magnitude bigger than that bullet list of ways F# is better than C#.
TunnelBear is a great product, one which I've been using for a few years, and I trust them with my business. I wish services like Netflix didn't blacklist their IPs, but it's easy enough to get content off alternative sites when I'm traveling outside the US.

Thanks for the good work!
So NIST is telling me that's about 16cm of titanium. I suppose it would be easier to make yourself clothing out of full lotion bottles than try to slather that much on.
I mostly agree but there is a small effect: "Claims spectacular proofs with flawed arguments" might still be reason to doubt his future proofs more until verified. And mathematicians do use such criterions before reading unverified claimed proofs of hundreds of pages (not uncommon). And since some proofs target tens or hundreds of persons, that can be a problem. I've read such stories, though I don't have a reference at hand.
>if google made some machine verifiable guidelines for "light" webpages that would earn them this "icon". Linked from the "fat" page by some "link" meta tag.

That is exactly what AMP is; with the exception (a huge one, I know) that Google also then caches the page on their server and serves it from a google.com host.
The real problem with F# is that the .NET Native UWP runtime isn't .NET compliant, therefore doesn't allow F# code.

See this link explaining the problem https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15026396

We wouldn't need to evangelize F#, if it just worked everywhere C# does with proper tooling support.
I think you're describing the difference between a suburban town vs. a suburban bedroom community. The latter usually lacks services and amenities [1] or a real sense of community, so on the weekends you're forced to commute just to get a good meal.

Luckily both exist -- often times the sweet spot is to live near downtown + transit of a smaller town. Then you get a faster commute, some walkability, and the option to do things in town as well.

I'm a 20+ year resident - I grew up here. My friends and family are slowly leaving, and it's really sad.
It's never too late. Yes, buy. But buy in small increments regularly over time (say 10$ weekly or $50 monthly or whatever disposable income you're willing to let go into the future and WILLING TO LOSE FOREVER). It's the perfect instrument for dollar cost averaging.

But most importantly when you've got your automatic setup going at a reputable exchange FORGET ABOUT ALL CRYPTO. Turn off all your alerts, ignore the news. Then when you're ready to retire look up your BTC investment.
Hang around an airport that caters to general aviation. Ask who's planning to see the eclipse from the air. Offer to pay for gas.

I came in hoping to stumble upon an explanation on the cast saw used in hospitals that won't cut skin at all. I believe I seen an explaination once, but it didn't sink it apparently. This must be a completely different technology.
My guess/speculation/opinion is that it is related to the common pedagogical premise that the primary purpose of writing is to present a convincing argument. And passive voice is viewed as "weaker" in the context of debate and argument by conventional wisdom. For what it's worth, I think the emphasis on writing to argue and convince is a significant contributing factor to the behaviors people exhibit once they discover text boxes on the internet.

An alternative approach to writing is as a tool to examine one's own thoughts...and perhaps explain them to others. That is, writing can be a tool by which the writer comes to understand the subject rather than a means of teaching it to others. This is a bit more at odds with the idea that education is about filling up the empty bucket of a student's mind.
This is for the .NET Core tooling support part of F#, and as we've stated in the blog post, we prioritized the quality of cross-platform usage here. You're free to disagree with this prioritization, but please don't craft a narrative about the relationship between F# and Microsoft that can mislead people as you did before.
I work on a big company with offices all over the US. My team is spread out over five different offices (which is pretty impressive given there are only seven of us). There's not much difference between being the only one on your team at your location and working from home.

While it's true you have to have software and processes in place to communicate, it is doable.
Not this old chestnut again. It's been proven that even when you remove everything that might influence a child towards a gender specific toy, boys still favour cars and guns, and girls still favour dolls. I've even spoken to feminist friends who were adamant they had shielded their children from gender stereotypes, yet saw the same results. What is so dangerous about the idea that male and female may want different things as a consequence of biology? Shouldn't our differences be celebrated rather than be suppressed?
I've lived in SF for close to 20 years, and I completely agree.

That said, I'm part of the 83% who are planning on leaving, but there are two main problems:

• If I leave, where will I go? As many faults as SF has, it's still a beautiful, world class city, rich with culture. Walkability is huge for me, and I don't want to live someplace where I'm tied to my car.

• Salary. Usually the cost of living follows the pay scale of a local economy, but that doesn't help you when you want to buy things priced at a national level: computers, cars, bikes, etc. If you earn $160k/yr, buy a new MacBook Pro isn't a big deal; if you make $60k/yr, you have to put a little more thought into it.

Look at this way, do you have a set of free numbers (like 0800 or some prefix)? Every country has a prefix of free numbers, prefixes for local call numbers nationally etc. Basically you know how much you're going to pay for calling someone based on the number you dial.

Yes I agree if you don't know what you are going to be charged just by calling is wrong. But that's not the system, calling a specific set of prefixes let's you know what it's going to cost. So calling a mobile you know it's going to cost more since it had a mobile prefix.

Calling international costs more because of a prefix.
Be sure to read the appendix, which is an easy-to-miss link at the end: http://h14s.p5r.org/2012/09/0x5f3759df-appendix.html

The appendix was by far the most interesting part to me, after reading it I felt like I really got the intuition behind how the trick works.
Yea, I tend to avoid companies that pretend to be about something other than making money.

Its mainly for practical reasons, they tend to pay less.

Like other comments here state, in general, use what you know. That said, postgresql has ~always been the better rdbms. Some would argue mysql at times have been a better ~key-value store with ~sql interface.

Apparently postgresql is difficult to run in a properly restricted bsd jail. Other than that, I'd be hard pressed to come up with reasons to prefer mysql on technical merit over either postgresql, or, say redis or something.
Hah, maybe you have a better device than I do. If you toggle log level "verbose" on in the chrome console you'll see a warning being emitted specifically about the scroll listener not being passive.

What is wrong with westchester? It doesn't smell as bad, you can get a place for the same price as nyc with 4x the space and you're only a 1 hr drive away if you don't try to go during rush hours.

A big problem I see with going to westchester to nyc is the parking costs in nyc. Like $50/day is wayyyyyyyy too high to be sustainable. And the trains are just too slow, it is faster to drive from where I am in westchester than take the train.

Gold's value is ostensibly about it's utility but the price is completely disconnected from said utility. A massive amount of the supply is devoted to speculation and jewelry, which itself is a reflection of the arbitrary value and price vs any actual physical properties of it. In many ways its value is still a function of properties it had hundreds of years ago that made it eminently suitable for coinage and the belief networks have persisted.

If we weren't using gold in this way the price would indisputably be a fraction of what it is vs if the industrial applications stopped it would definitely still retail value.

Bitcoin is limited to 21M coins and we are at 19M of them. It is functionally more scarce than gold in that once we hit 21M that's it- we can't develop some new technology that unlocks more gold like asteroid mining.
In Defense of Electron
That's beside the point of the hacking. If a foreign nation deliberately interfered in our electoral system to the benefit or possibly in collusion with their preferred party, that's a way bigger deal. It's criminal.

Secondly, the amount of dirt they uncovered was so minimal. Of course they favored Clinton. She was a party loyalist and the one they considered most likely to win the general. If you think both parties don't operate like this all the time, you're nuts. They'd be nuts not to. I can't even imagine the level of freak out at the RNC when Trump took the lead.
you can't be sure of much from their 13-Fs. Derivatives, swaps, forex, debt, cash, commodities, and shorts aren't reported and since you don't know how much leverage they use (reputed to be "a lot") you don't know how important those billions in equities are - they might be the hedges and the actual exposure is negative and the alpha is in the term structure of some derivative.

of course, you did say 'just for fun' since it seems you know this stuff :)
Founder Friendly is not dead
This is it for me.

Large projects in OO often end up as mutable monoliths which become harder and harder to work with. New features sometimes require large painful and scary changes. Hacks are irresistible. Of course you need refactoring tools because you have to change many things in many files.

OO promised modularity but the languages never delivered because of their unreasonable design.

Highly reasonable, concise and refactorable code is the answer to complex systems.
If you grew up here, you'd like to stay here or start a company here, please get involved politically in electing candidates and pushing for policies that help lower the price of housing.

- AB 71 would raise $300 million a year for affordable housing, call your CA Assemblymember.

- SB 35 would take power from local NIMBY's for projects that meet affordable housing targets. Call your CA Assemblymember.

- Email baylands@ci.brisbane.ca.us and ask them to build 4400 units of housing on the Baylands, just south of San Francisco. They are waffling but the local residents want to build an office park.

- Email your C level employees and VC's and tell them about your struggles to continue staying here, afford a babysitter or find a good school, and ask them to get involved in developing better housing policy for the Bay Area.
I agree. I contracted with a pure remote company for a while and we had less scheduled meetings but actually collaborated more. The one thing the remote company didn't have was the project management types who call meetings all the time like in my current job.
I think that the problem with F# is that it feels more or less abandoned by MS itself.

It's already F# 4.x, but I can't remember any significant new features in last 3 releases at least, neither in language nor in the standard library.
The top 10 Elixir talks of 2017 so far
Since when has this thread been about the gender pay gap? In my experience, threads on HN tend to be about whatever the people commenting in the thread choose to comment on.

Personally, I only care about the gender pay gap insofar as it signals that some people are being underpaid, which I think is unfair. If there is a chain of causality leading from "X is a woman" to "X is a bad negotiator" to "X is underpaid", then the ones that deserve help are underpaid people first and foremost.

They can be helped by attacking any mechanism of causality (including those that are not mentioned above): preventing bad negotiators from being underpaid (e.g by helping bad negotiators become good negotiators) and preventing women from becoming bad negotiators (e.g. by specifically mentoring them). But the farther removed the factor you are targeting is, the less efficient your efforts become. I think it is shortsighted to limit a program to women when it could just as well be applied to other people (unless something about Google's negotiation training is explicitly gender-specific).

> And further, please don't advocate against policies that help millions of women because they don't help everyone.

I'm certainly not advocating that women shouldn't get help with negotiating if they need it, but I am advocating that other people should also receive that help.
Snapchat Misses a Billion Dollar Opportunity
I used to scan potential candidates Github repos but a recent job changed all that for me. A coworker was struggling at standup to handle a "deep get" in a JS object. I wrote a small function in five minutes and sent it over chat, thinking it'd unblock him and he could continue his tasks. He preceded to create a repo and added tests to the code and claimed it.

I imagine that in time, someone will look at that code and use it as a consideration for his employment and be just as disappointed in his output as I was. You may hate it but I love white-boarding with candidates. It's not a binary pass/fail exercise but a look into how a person approaches solving a problem and handling on-the-spot pressure. Sometimes things break in prod and the pressure is on, I want to work people that do well under that pressure.
Not really. A big whiteboard is still much better. It's surprising to me that this hasn't been solved a long time ago.
My question is this, what happens when cutting wet wood? Or wood that has nails in it? Did you just cost yourself $$$ by doing it?
Holy selection bias, batman. The data is taken from an Internet survey by ApartmentList. Why would you ever go on ApartmentList? Because you're looking for a new apartment. Why would you go on ApartmentList particularly, vs. a more common rental site like Craigslist? Because it's organized by city - the front page has glossy photos of major metropolitan areas - and so you can easily browse through other cities without knowing much about what neighborhoods exist in that city.

Title should be "83 percent of ApartmentList visitors in the Bay Area plan to leave". While anecdotally I know a lot of people that are considering moving away, it's nowhere close to 83 percent, and the way the data was collected for this PR piece doesn't support that conclusion either.
Are there any plans to incubate coin networks in the way startups are currently incubated?
How can I prove a negative?

I can only point to what the Google AMP documentation says, where they state that you have to allow your site to be served by Google AMP Cache to count as an AMP site: https://developers.google.com/amp/cache/faq and https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/about-amp

Maybe they don't follow their own docs and there are sites out there not cached in the Google AMP Cache that still get placed in the carousel. I have no way to prove that without being able to test every single possible search term (plus all the other variables like location which affect the results).
Denver's skyline is littered with somewhere around a dozen too. The west-side of downtown has grown a tremendous amount in just about 3 years. Seems like mostly shoddily-constructed apartment buildings (source: a guy who helped design 4 of them).

Well I think this is it. I was born in New York City, and while it may be more expensive than some town in the Midwest, the housing problem is not like it is in San Francisco. On the other hand, if you insist on living in Greenwich Village or Williamsburg then you will have to pay. If you're OK with living in a slightly older, not super exciting, middle class neighborhood that has a half hour commute to the city, then you have plenty of affordable options. Another thing about New York affordability is rent in some towns in the Midwest is cheaper but you need a car, in New York City you can get around pretty well without a car.

Also a commute into Manhattan does not have to be an hour. You can make a map of the rent prices of apartments in boring but decent neighborhoods that are within 10 minutes commute of Manhattan, then 20 minutes, then 30. Plenty of options. For myself, I can walk out my door and in less than thirty minutes walk out of a train in Penn Station. I used to live in another part of the city and my apartment door to office desk commute was less than 30 minutes.

These diagrams are really beautiful, I love the subtle separation in the lines showing that they're made of hypens. Is there some software that makes these easy to generate?
"QED"

Err, this bugfix doesn't show people don't have absolute control of their bitcoins.

"Also see the recent Bitcoin cash fork"

Still doesn't demonstrate that people don't have absolute control of their Bitcoins.

"the severe volatility"

Still doesn't demonstrate that people don't have absolute control of their Bitcoins.

You look ridiculous trying to argue Bitcoin doesn't give absolute control of one's money. That's the one thing Bitcoin does perfectly well and that is universally recognized.

"If it lives on a server"

The point of a warpwallet is that it doesn't live anywhere. It's a passphrase you memorize.
I think I see what he's saying. Those satellites are moving at a fixed velocity. So the time dialation effect on them relative to the ground should be static.

It could reasonably be the case that we just adjusted the clocks on the satellites by .05% or whatever the drift rate is by measuring them against known points until we get it right. Good enough engineering.

Eventually someone would have asked some scientists to explain why it's happening.
I’m a C# developer, love the language and how easy it is to express what’s in my head as code.

I recently had a chance to play with F#. After being completely lost for a bit, I found I had to really rethink how I was reasoning about problems and the right way to solve them.

But that’s the point I want to make. I don’t expect to be good at FP for a while - it’s going to take time to grow, along with the tooling and community. But I appreciate having a way of framing a problem differently, and like the direction F# is headed.

It doesn’t mean I’m going to drop C# any time soon, I’ll likely just use both - e.g. my more math heavy libraries will be F#, and my networking and Web API code in C#.
> There are prominent, respected authorities and experts on both sides of the political spectrum who disagree with you

Disagree with my about what? I think it would be helpful if you put in words the claim you think I'm making. I feel that we're talking past one another because you think I'm talking about Damore when in fact I'm responding to a hypothetical posited by another commenter.

> This is a strawman and an argument to absurdity, i.e. also irrational.

I don't pay attention to Nazi's scientific arguments for racism, anti-feminist's claims that women are incapable of certain tasks, or infomercials' claims about how amazing a product is. In each situation the signal-to-noise ratio is intractable and the arguments are not made from the position of a genuine search for truth. I'm better off encountering that evidence in other contexts presented by genuine actors, or simply never seeing it at all. Not all arguments are helpful. Some are intentionally crafted to distract and obscure.

If you think that makes me irrational, so be it. Your disagreement strikes me as hopelessly naive. I'd rather behave irrationally than waste my life chasing down the errors in arguments made by biased idiots who have no problem with lying to advance their ideology.

> Again, I feel like you didn't read my comment. Where did I suggest such a method?

Well if you have no better method then I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do. Give up on truth?

> However, you are jumping to a conclusion by assuming that he is not interested in the truth

Please read the entire thread. I am assuming this because it is posited as a hypothetical!

I fact, I do not believe this is true in Damore's case. But it is certainly true in the case of many people who are defending Damore (eg Mike Cernovich), and I don't think taking their arguments on face value is worth the time or effort. They are not interested in truth, they are interested in power, so their arguments are pointless if what you're interested in is truth.

But again, nowhere in this thread have I stated anything about Damore. I was responding to a hypothetical.

> by equating him with such people

Again, I was responding to a hypothetical!!!
