A large portion of the labor engine of one of the most significant industrial cities has been halted indefinitely.

Naturally, there are almost no employers operating and no way for employees to get to work anyway.

Once the water recedes there will still be an unprecedented number of formerly-paying jobs that can not be returned to for an unexpectedly long time if ever.

At the exact time that there will be an unprecedented number of people who have lost everything, including their homes, and a lot of these are the same people.

So many that could not afford to miss a paycheck under ordinary conditions.

Until further notice the city will not only be running on stored resources, but primarily the availability of stored resources.

What amounts to the wealth of a rural nation will need to effectively stream into Houston merely to sustain it until industrial recovery can establish momentum.

Shortages relative to the amount of wealth ordinarily generated by Houston on a daily basis will only exacerbate the difficulty.

A: John's office leaving time is 4:55 pm or less.

B: John's travel time is 1 minute.

C: John's travel time is 30 minutes or more.

A is False, B is False, C is True (as given). Hence A => B is True (a ridiculous conclusion).

I don't see any probability or induction in this problem.

Well, that's not really the author's advice, considering that he writes:

"I wouldn't recommend quitting your job like I did. Especially, if you have an idea only. Test it first. Most probably, you have a lot of 'hidden' free time so you can test it while keeping your day job."

If your point is that bootcamps generally are waste of time and money, and you suspect that the author just wants to promote his bootcamp, then that's a different thing of course.

My thoughts on the bestek power inverter
This product allows you to take power from your and power electronic devices. There are two plugs and two usb ports that allow you to charge your devices or plug something in while you are on the road. There is the 150W, 300w, 400w, 1000w, 2000w. I was sent the 300W one which is a lot of power.

This device works great, it is small and the cable to plug it in is pretty long. I can see myself along with a lot of other people having a use for something like this especially if you are always on the road. The BESTEK power inverter is very easy to use and I really like it.

That's a great story.

My first instinct for where to look to find things that would affect experts and beginners alike is manufacturing defects or poor suit design.

I'd say also weather but that seems more likely to be highly variable and prone to skill (i.e. experts know when conditions are poor).

I assume you are the author? I think you make valid case/points but I have some kind counter points if you don't mind

> 1. Having too many unit tests makes your codebase harder to evolve. You ideally want to have as few tests as possible capture as many properties of your domain as possible.

Yes but I have found what often happened for me with with REPL environments is the actual code base would be littered with stuff to massage the REPL (commented out or left behind). At least with the unit tests that playing around stuff is away from the actual code.

For both cases there is always the delete button :) . Also for some reason many developers I have worked with don't seem to have a problem deleting or putting an ignore on a test. After all the tests are source controlled. I do get your point but I don't think its that strong.

> 2. Tests can only ever answer close-ended questions: "does this work?", but not "how does this work?", "what does this look like?" etc.

I fail to understand this point. I mean you can obviously write tests that just run stuff and not throw an exception or error. Furthermore you can share how you set stuff up with other developers.... and again you can just delete it if its obnoxious.

> 3. Tests typically won't run in real-world conditions: they'll use simple, artificial data and mocks of services such as databases or API clients. As a result, they don't typically help you understand a problem that only happens on real-life data, nor do they give you confidence that the real-life implementations of the services they emulate do work.

This is exactly what I do not like about REPLs. You setup a custom environment and its hard to keep track of what you have done. I don't like the "not repeatable" nature of it. I do think you make excellent points about how immutability helps that problem as stuff basically becomes a log but for other languages this is not the case.

However this is by far your strongest point. There are languages that allow you to play with a system while its running. Perhaps not through the command line but through a debugger. The Java debugger in Eclipse/IntelliJ can evaluate expressions and are not far off from being REPLs.... in some cases the debuggers are stronger than REPLs.

I am curious to know what are the problem of homebrew itself ?
As a generic user who has never done anything really complex with it, homebrew is a joy, it has never failed me.
Using Emacs' Elisp for a short while helped me unlearn some REPL antipatterns I acquired during Clojure development (some of them unfortunately presented in this article), especially this: instead of typing something in the REPL, executing it, then copying it back into your actual source file, you can just write it in your source file and use "evaluate current form" or "evaluate form before current point" to send it to the REPL process for evaluation instead of painstakingly entering it in the REPL and copying it back. Note that this is not a conventional hot-reload, but the form is sent as literal to the REPL (where indirectly, hot-reload may occur).
Now that you mention it, perhaps it was installed because I grabbed a Void Linux image with MATE?

Not arguing with you there -- taxing robot work sounds almost nonsensical. If anything it would be a great jobs program for tax lawyers who will tie themselves in knots figuring out how to circumvent this ill-defined tax.

Taxing capital is very straightforward from a regulations standpoint. It's only hard in that the capital will tend to flee the tax.

Yeah, I've recently noticed the "just 1 room left!" thingie, I generally tend to ignore it, as I travel by myself or with my gf. The reviews have held up for me, though. Granted, I also look at the number of reviews and at way those reviews are written, if it seems like there's something fishy I just skip it. On top of that I use TripAdvisor, which is really holding up pretty well for me in terms of traveler reviews.

My impression was that Amazon does make plenty of revenue — it is just that all of the "profits" simply gets reinvested into Amazon? Is that too naïve? My thought was, hey they found something useful to do with that money. (Funny how I don't see Twitter that way. I think they could/ should cut their spending by something like $1B a year.) I'm of course comparing Amazon to apple which makes so much money that they can afford to keep it "cash" as opposed to reinvesting.
REPLs don't necessarily have to be ephemral, this is my REPL session(Jupyter Notebook) exported as HTML -- (http://abhirag.in/articles/train_of_thought_1.html), and also great REPLs can help in interactive static analysis, as a case in point consider the Idris REPL (http://docs.idris-lang.org/en/latest/reference/repl.html).

> Second, if people are so grossed out by milk, why do they want to drink surrogates of it?!

I can't explain it, but milk is just gross to me. I eat almost every other dairy product (okay, I'm not a fan of something too fermented, like kefir, ayran and such), but plain milk is psychologically repulsive. Maybe it's because my grandma had a cow when I was a child, and seeing milk come out of a cow was disgusting. Processed dairy products are kind of too far removed from a cow in my mind, so they're okay. Maybe it's the smell of country milk. I don't like homemade country cheeses because of the smell as well. For this reason I love oatly, and almond and coconut milks. Soy milk is fine too. I can also dring flavored milks or coffee with milk (although I prefer it black). I've only met one other person like this in my life, and it felt very validating that I'm not alone in this.
Although BlockBlock is in "beta," it works well, preventing installation of persistent items unless given a user okay but running silently in the background. It's fun to see what causes the warning window to pop up, like whenever Adobe Flash gets auto-updated. It's saved me from at least one very sketchy install.
If you write a custom _repr_html_, you are likely to assemble subparts by recursively calling _repr_html_ on sub-elements (thanks to open recursion).
If you have an object B which inherits from A, you can specialize on B, or use the existing method for A.

However, you cannot specializes the "html" part with inheritance.
Say for example that you want to define a slightly different _repr_html_ method depending on the context (maybe you target the subset of HTML that works correctly in emails) or if you want to render "latex" with custom "tikz" macros instead of using matplotlib.

With multiple dispatch, you can specialize on the target too, which means you can specialize wherever required or fall back to a generic behavior if not.
It would be nice if they did so, but I know better than to expect such a profound criticism from a bourgeois paper.

Any danger of a paragraph or two explaining what makes this worthy of being on the top of HN? Or are we all just upvoting dime a dozen React boilerplates now because we just love React so much?

For the sake of some discussion, I think these boilerplates are a footgun for most developers. If you're a new React developer, your goal should be to learn how each dependency in a project fits together, and you should be starting your first few projects with literally zero depencies and growing them organically as you need (not want) new tooling.

If you're an experienced dev, you've already got your own boilerplate set up just how you like it.

So the only two use cases I can see for these boilerplates are: Rookie developers should use them as examples for how to implement a specific dependency in an existing project, and experienced developers should only really use them as a source of quick ideas for tooling they may have missed that would be useful to their existing projects.

Actually basing a project off somebody else's boilerplate is a huge mistake, in my experience.
The nukes only get turned to in that sense, as a territory protection matter, not as an offensive option after conventional weapons are exhausted.

It's pretty straight-forward and has been for decades: conventional forces go first; if you begin losing badly, then you pull the nuclear card to prevent any meaningful territorial losses; the war ends in some variation of a stalemate.

Whether they can make it work that way in practice, hopefully we'll never find out. The biggest challenge to the practice of it, is dealing with even small existing territorial losses when the nuclear card comes out. Countries like Pakistan and North Korea may also not function that way, hard to guess about their operations under pressure just due to the nature of their brittle regimes, but most of their leadership also likely wants to live.

I always regarded MIELE as top-notch, so I bought nearly every household/kitchen appliance from them.

Can't remember having had to call a service hotline of a specific brand that often.

Wash-dryer needed 6 repairs within the first 7 years (luckily covered by 10y warranty), dishwasher twice in 5 years, microwave/steamer and ventilation hood both once within the first 5 months.

The MIELE image unfortunately took quite some damage based on my personal experience.

Kubernetes jobs (https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/jo...) and kubernetes cron jobs (https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/cr...) make a task like running a fairly robust FaaS infrastructure (this involves things like loadbalancing jobs, tracking state, etc) much simpler -- really excited for a world where people are empowered to create their own clouds rather than get on someone else's.

Personal Anecdote: I switched all my personal project infrastructure to use Kubernetes (granted, it's a single node cluster), and went through the process of setting it up myself (no tectonic). The process was difficult but immensely rewarding (I have a super long blog post series incoming about it), and various bits of documentation helped me every step of the way. For the curious, my latest ops iteration was docker-containers-managed-by-systemd-provisioned-by-ansible setup to docker-containers-managed-by-kubernetes-provisioned-by-ansible-on-coreos.

I say all that to say that after having personal experience both good and bad with kubernetes, I am thoroughly impressed with it, and have become a huge fan. It is internally consistent with it's principles and concepts, and once you have things set up they mostly just work. When things go wrong (as they do inevitably), the concepts are useful tools and generally hold up, and it's often just a case of finding examples, and giving the documentation a more thorough reading.

You can tell when you've learned a truly significant piece of knowledge if you can't stop thinking of all the ways you can apply it. I've had that experience with kubernetes -- just wanted to share, if anyone was on the fence about playing with it.

The difference is that your eyes have much higher "resolution" in the centre of your view compared to the peripheral vision.

Let me give you a simpler example we can work with.

1: If the sun sets, it will rise.
2: The sun set.
Conclusion: The sun will rise.

Even though the above might seem like an application of modus ponens, it's actually not. This argument (like yours with John and Jennifer) is inductive -- probabilistic -- in nature. There's some debate when you truly get down to it (is causality empirical?), but almost all claims about the natural world: be they about John's driving or the Sun rising, are inductive; and as such, deductive rules do not apply. In the case above, the sun can, technically, disappear out of existence. Obviously, this is very unlikely but, in fact, guaranteed it will happen at some point by Poincaré and Boltzmann.

In Jennifer's case, her argument is inductive because there are a few (actually an infinite number of) assumptions she's making: that he has a full tank of gas, that lightning won't strike him, that he doesn't get abducted by aliens, etc.

This differs from a deductive claim, e.g.:

1: Two sets are equal if and only if they contain the same elements.
2: A is a set that contains {a, b, c}
3: B is a set that contains {a, b, c}
Conclusion: A = B

See the difference?
Clojure's Emacs REPL also has this; it's strange that the article does not mention it, but talks about copying back and forth between REPL and suorce, which I consider a antipattern and really ugly workflow.
> Many countries do. To watch certain youtube videos in south korea you need to provide your social security number or something like that.

South korea also strictly censors any publicly visible posting relating to elections and requires something like social-security number, or a faxed and verified passport for foreigners[0]. I guess that's meant to stop subversive groups from swaying elections.

Oh snap. Because in the mean time, government security agents were using the internet to propagandise for their preferred electoral candidate and manipulate the outcome of elections. Which only switched to direct vote pretty recently, and even then, merely elect a president with near dictatorial powers over all major government appointments.

Anyway, they're an ally, so there's no need for outpourings of scorn like there is in the case of china or russia.

Differential sync is not a very clean solution, because it doesn't encode the intention of differences.

If one person increments a variable from 10 to 11, and another person sets the variable from 10 to 11 independently, does that mean that the final value should be 11 or 12?

Of course, in practice, you can work around cases like this. It is just not very clean and feels like a hack.
