Or just use a language that supports large scale refactoring, say Java, C#, perhaps even C++ if you are careful. I generally don't like dynamic languages for large projects exactly because of this. You can't safely and quickly do large scale refactorings, a point that will come back and haunt you sooner or later. No matter how good you are or how much care you take, the code will rot significantly more than in Java/C# because you just can't quickly refactor stuff across the entire codebase, so you won't.

A word of caution before being carried away by the words "fundamental right". According to the judgement, the right to privacy is fundamental (as an offshoot of the fundamental rights of freedom of life and personal liberty guaranteed under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution).

Asserting it as a "fundamental right" raises the bar on what restrictions can be put. But reasonable restrictions can still be put.

A separate bench of the SC is now going to test the validity of the Aadhaar Act on the basis of whether the restrictions are reasonable in the light of privacy being a fundamental right.

Edit: The Aadhaar Act is an act that allows for the government to collect biometric and other personal data that can be used to identify an individual for various services (including but not limited to governmental benefits).

Well I'm sorry but I think more is going on than the article describes.

For example the red pickup truck. There is no way the algorithm could create that model from that image only (depth of the trunk).

So my guess is that they use the tiny picture to search a database for similar pictures and then create a model with all that data.
Oh? What are they using now then? SELinux?

It looks like the algorithm expects symmetry.
It's because none of those things are actually worth big bucks (yet). All the money is in ads (and the various baits constructed around those ads).

If and when the things you listed become wildly profitable, they'll become relevant for discussions about "careers in tech".
No typo there. When we talk about vectors we mean "column vector". As it's easier to read horizontally (and takes less place in a paper), most of the time we write x^T = {a, b, c} rather than writing them in a column shape.
Maybe it involves machine learning also and it is able to tell that it's looking at an aeroplane?
> Mostly OK != production ready.

Don't nitpick about what a two-word summary implies when there's only one underlying bug at issue. Just address the bug itself. "Production ready" never means 100% bug-free.

> A degraded array should have no substantially greater risk of failure than the single disks the vast majority of people rely on daily.

If you are comfortable dropping from the RAID1 profile to a non-RAID profile, btrfs requires you to explicitly make this conversion; there's no safe way to make it automatic. Forcing the filesystem to accept writes while it's still in RAID1 mode but is incapable of providing RAID1 data integrity is something that you should expect to cause problems.

> I can think of one obvious reason one might mount the degraded array simply to copy data from it to a different arrangement.

You can mount read-only as many times as you want if you're going to copy the remaining data to a different filesystem. If you want to do an in-place recovery, the current limitation is only that you shouldn't mount the degraded array as writable until you're ready to make it not degraded anymore.
I'm not sure what this has to do with Aadhaar, although the initial petition mentions it I think.

Aadhaar is setup as a way of proof of identity and not proof of citizenship. I for one did not get an Aadhaar until a week ago! The only reason I had to was a company that I applied to, said that please use your full name as mentioned on your Aadhaar card.

India is a bureaucratic mess. And as UG Krishnamurti put it very succinctly, India is a failed country. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, we desperately first need to focus on poverty first.
Great answer, thanks!
I think the concern is that the models in use don't take these additional feedback loops into consideration because they're difficult to predict.
Presumably the neural network was trained on a dataset where all planes had two wings, so it will predict planes with two wings.
I also like Clang Tools for C++ AST and programmatic refactoring. Much better than regex replace.
What exactly is the benefit of Codemod? Too me it seems like a glorified regex replacer, nothing more.

Suppose you have a function Foo::bar() and Bar::bar(). You decide to replace Bar::bar() by Bar::foo(). Good look with doing that via regex.
Foo::bar() calls will most likely be affected as well.
Matching directly on the AST solves this problem by explicitely matching all Bar::bar() calls.

What I really want: a language agnostic abstract syntax tree parser, matcher and transformer.

Show HN: Themetally – free WordPress theme directory
When there's disconnect between the happytalk of the university and the employability/performance of students the students will blame themselves for not working hard enough. They will not blame the university for having an outdated curriculum or incompetent faculty.

My institution offers a seven-year combined BS/MD program. Graduate on time, get an MCAT score above the national mean and a decent GPA, and after 3 years you are automatically admitted to the institution's medical school. One requirement for admission into this program is an ACT score >= 32. Of this cohort, only 60 % made the cut.

60 % is low. This can't all be students that transferred out because the undergrad instruction is too awful or are otherwise incapable. I would put the blame squarely on the irrelevant curriculum and also would not hire anyone from that place because the level of instruction is just too low.
No. The text is in error.

The referenced patent is 20030197627, "MODIFIED KEYS ON A KEYBOARD". The abstract is:

> A label having an identifier 41L is applied to the upper left corner of the key top of each character key in a left hand region of a keyboard device. A label having an identifier 41R is applied to the upper right corner of the key top of each character key in a right hand region. The identifier 41L is a mark of a reversed L shape and the identifier 41R is a mark of a mirror image pattern of the identifier 41L. Further, different colors are applied to the identifiers 41L and 41R depending on regions for individual fingers. As a consequence, the identifiers 41L and 41R have a function to visually display information representing which hand is to be used to press a key and information representing which finger is to be used to press the key. The keyboard device enables a user to naturally understand the arrangement of the keys and the use of the fingers.

This is clearly different than the bumps under the F/J keys, which was present in, for example, the 1995 IBM butterfly keyboard at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_ThinkPad_Butterfly_keyboar... and the IBM Model M2 from 1992 at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_M_keyboard#/media/File:I... .
I've finally finished my side-project - Themetally. This is my first side-project in years, so please be gentle with me :). I've spent months in developing it, and I really hope it's going to be valuable to people who are looking for themes.

So what is Themetally?
Themetally a WordPress theme directory. [applause] Thank you, thank you. Good night.

That’s actually almost true, and I think good enough for a short answer. Here is a longer explanation for those who are interested…

A While back I was looking for a nice new free theme for my personal blog. I started browsing the WordPress.org directory and quickly came to a conclusion that it’s bad on many different levels, and isn’t really suitable to browse anything at all. There is no pagination, it’s buggy, the theme demo doesn’t do the themes any justice, and there is no real metric I could use to judge whether a theme has been active, whether it has received updates, etc. etc. - so I decided to attempt to solve those issues with Themetally.

I made Themetally so that it would be easier to discover WordPress themes, with useful statistics, like active installs over time, and theme update recency and/or “project pulse”. On top of that - theme readme usually contains useful information that’s not available on WordPress.org either, so I decided to bundle that right into the theme description - makes it a lot easier viewing changelog.

I think there is still so much room for improvement, and if Themetally takes off I’d like to add a lot more features to it, such as voting system, let authors claim their profiles, add more analytics like relative page-load time, CSS/JS size, etc.

To summarize,
Themetally is a free WordPress theme directory with better theme demos, more detailed theme information and analytics.

To put this into perspective:

Pornhub was founded by Matt Keezer, not someone from Belgium.

A German who lives in Belgium that used to be the ceo of Mindgeek for a while (which purchased Pornhub) invested some of his money into some startups after he left Mindgeek.
I'm not sure what you mean by physical tokens, but the rest sounds about right. And they can downvote me all they want, as you say I am factually correct, because factually Cede literally and technically owns the stock and everyone else just has varying degrees of contractual rights, but most importantly in no way could that lead to physical possession or even technical ownership of the stock from Cede.

And I will not even go down the rabbit hole of contractual rights, but obviously includes legitimate ideas of economic interest and voting rights, but as the comment above noted about brokers, that is were things get very interesting, because then often times people don't even own contractual rights, or alternatively many party's simultaneously have varying degrees of contractual rights over the same stock (often times leading to factual inconsistencies and legal impossibilities).

Hi cramforce,

I understand that AMP is not a ranking factor (except for its inherent speed, perhaps). However, is there not a carousal at the top of SERPs for pages in your AMP Cache?

So while not an organic ranking factor, it would still affect SEO. Is that a fair comment? Or am I missing another perspective?
how does this even add to the discussion?

That would be nice, but it's not how the world works.

I even doubt you'd be able to regulate it well. It would mean forbidding Netflix Originals, for example. Netflix would just start a legally independent production company called Fletnix and get global exclusive licenses on all content it produces.

Hey, I was in a similar situation 2 years ago when I had a similar offer from one of Facebook, although in the high-cost European city of London.
Pros:

- you will learn a lot at these companies

- you will work with very smart people, which is a great experience

- your expectations (toward yourself, your peers, the product you're working on) will be torn apart and recalibrated at a much higher level, which is a good thing

- working on products that are used by 100s millions / billions of people is a positive human experience because you're helping give people services that improve their lives (buying books so they can learn to program, building products so they can keep in touch with their loved ones, helping them find information on the web, etc.)

But, keep in mind:

- these are big companies, so the peopleware is slow: getting promoted takes time and depends on a myriad of factors outside your control; don't _count_ on it [in the first 2 years]

- the signing/relocation bonus won't be around in year#2, so dependending on how much of a refresher you get, you could make less in year#2

- stock prices fluctuate! it could go down 30% (as well as up 70%) in the next 9 months; as a rule of thumb, make sure your base salary covers living expenses

- as a rule of thumb, assume your refresher grant will be 1/2 of the initial stock grant, and has the same vesting schedule; use Quora to get more details on your specific company, or ask a friend who works there

- be sure to use the correct tax rates (also for stocks) when net'ing the offer numbers (look out for federal and state taxes, income vs cap.gains)

- if you're a software engineer, the offer numbers seems a bit low vs your 20 years of experience for SV, esp. the stock part

--- either this company pays less than others or they're under-leveling you

--- if you care, ask your recruiter what level they put you at

--- there's rational reasons for these big tech companies to under-level people with lots of experience, which is that they have their own internal stack and ways of doing things, plus they're very good at spinning people up in their bootcamp programs, so they don't care _that_ much about prior experience

- if you take the offer, you will probably soon meet people at the company (or in SV) who are doing roughly the same job as you are, are a _lot_ younger, but have _significantly_ better packages because they had better signaling (went to top uni, had competing offers); depending on who you are, this may end up bothering you

Another thing to consider: many of these companies also have offices in the US, but outside of SV, eg. Seattle, Washington, Texas, NYC, where I believe they offer roughly the same packages, but cost of living / commutes are much more reasonable.

Good luck!

There are a LOT of factors that could be used to de-anonymize you including frequency and time of day of transactions, wallet application identifying signatures in the transaction itself (e.g. use of fee sniping protections vs not, type of multi-sig used), patterns of usage in non-block chain services such as exchanges, etc.

You could identify a dozen or a hundred different features about a transaction or the transaction graph, then run standard machine learning tools to find clusters of usage patterns. You could then probabilistically infer connections between upstream and downstream usage patterns that implicate you.

> An acquisition by a blank check company with a management team that is well-known to, and respected by, technology company founders, their current third-party investors and their management teams, we believe, can provide a more transparent and efficient mechanism to bring a private technology company to the public markets

This is similar to a reverse takeover [1]. (Replace "blank cheque company" with "public shell".)

Why do reverse takeover candidates merge into their public shells instead of getting acquired by a pre-capitalised blank cheque company? Because with the latter, the acquirer needs the capital up front. You can do some financial engineering whereby the acquirer "buys" some of the target's shares with the shell's shares, but at that point a reverse takeover is simpler, cheaper and less risky.

You'll notice a scaling problem with this method. If you need the capital up front, you need to convince investors to come in up front. Doing that replicates IPO bankers' jobs with extra steps and less transparency.

This is currently a grey area. All ISPs in India have to abide by their licensing terms with the Department of Telecommunication which restricts encryption to 40 bit RSA or equivalent. Any higher grade encryption can only be used with special permission and requires the decryption keys to be submitted to the DoT.

Whether or not this restriction also applies to end users and non-ISP organizations hasn't yet been tested in the judicial system AFAIK.
It isn't really true that Svelte is just "vanilla" Javascript. For example, the compiler looks at the argument names of your computed properties to determine which data they depend on, which breaks with the semantics of Javascript. This means that Svelte only allows you to use function literals for computed properties.
