Not sure why you think simulation environment is more valuable than real world data. Waymo doesn't even have as much data in simulated environment as Tesla does in real world data, which is hilarious.
This is a broader concept that I've had to get used to recently: I don't think this is a specialist/layman thing as much as a smart/dumb thing. I know plenty of very smart people who are happy to show their ignorance about a topic that they don't know about when talking to someone with that knowledge (including examples like the benign/bennigun thing).

For the first time in my life, I'm working with people who aren't particularly intelligent[1]. The lack of intelligence doesn't bother me much per se, but I was absolutely not prepared for how incredibly childish their psyche is when it comes to making mistakes and learning from them, admitting they don't know things, asking questions, etc. It was absolutely shocking how routinely people would read all kinds of ulterior motives into every possible question: "the only reason you would ask X is because you're trying to put me down" and stuff like that. I've learned to heavily sugarcoat things, stroke egos with compliments before describing things that need improvement or fixing, etc etc. Goddam is it an exhausting waste of time.

My plan at this point is to steer my career as far away as possible from people who are this stupid and immature; I spent a long time at the start of my career surrounded by very smart people and I just got used to the idea that everyone is secure in their intelligence and everyone can focus on being productive together without needing to keep stopping and feeding the egos of infants.

[1] Just to forestall the complaints: this isn't a value judgment of who they are as people, it's just a single weakness. A comparable weakness of my own is that I have to exert quite a bit of effort to maintain a strong work ethic when being hardworking comes more easily to some.
It was an overnight success in the hype department.
Sounds like nginx streams - http://nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx_stream_core_module.html . Really useful if you need TLS but the author of whatever you are running couldn't be bothered by adding support (includes being able to do client certificate auth!).
Google's next big money trick
Ask HN: Should we invent a “Junk Rank” for web pages?
A few minutes ago I was thinking about submitting a link to the news that Apple will not support 32-Bit apps on IOS 11 anymore. Clicking through Business Insider, Macrumors, Fastcompany etc I was trying to figure out which news outlet covered it with the least junk on it (ads,trackers, size of the html, number of outbound connections,render time etc)

Then it hit me: Maybe we should create what Google should have created instead of AMP: A Junk Rank!

And then somehow feature articles by news outlets with the lowest Junk Rank.

If HN, Reddit and other aggregators would use that Junk Rank to select which news outlets are linked to - maybe we could change the web for the better?

What do you think?
For the second time, Google is poised to transform a segment of the advertising market that will change it from its current state, to something practical, flexible and affordable to tens of millions of new customers across the globe.
I parsed and reparsed just like you and I stalled again, while I imagined the sentence again as "throw up", trying to make a quick fix. OP has picked a tricky one..
I doubt Python is losing people to Golang in scientific computing.
The difference is that Go expects your majority use case to be copy or concatenate. If you're taking a string sequence value you're normally not going to change it, or you're going to combine it together with something else. If you have valid UTF-8 input, you should get output that is valid, but might not be 'normalized' to a single form. IF you care about normalizing you can decide when to do that (usually in output construction).

If you need to make a decision based on the content of a string, then you often need to make a normalized (the same way for both) copy the inputs.

Most importantly, if you feed in garbage, you get out the SAME garbage. The real world, and historical data, are messy. Trying to be smart can often lead to the most disastrous consequences. Being conservative and tolerant allows for intentional planning to handle the conversion at the source, if and when desired.
to add to your optimism:

* geoengineering avoids fixing the root problem by patching some (but not all) of the symptoms, and probably creating new symptoms

* the effects of climate change are not uniform over the globe, so for any application of geoengineering there will be winners and losers

* much research hasn't been done to figure out if the various geoengineering proposals are safe, and there is no test environment, there is only production

* geoengineering needs to be done at the same time as a serious effort to reduce both CO2 emissions and CO2 levels in the atmosphere

* but: some geoengineering options are cheap enough that single nations could unilaterally carry them out anyway, ignoring all of the above!

edit: all that said, the kind of stuff as described in the article needs to be scaled up. and a serious real world test needs to be done of doing something with the captured CO2. 50 tonnes / year is nothing. the scale of infrastructure needed to reverse current CO2 pollution is roughly the entire world fossil fuel economy, but running in reverse

assuming this proposal can be scaled up and there's something to do with the captured CO2, maybe this kind of thing is part of the solution

another open question is what to do with carbon in the ocean, to reverse ocean acidification
Mach 2 Forth for the Mac in the late 80s had local variables and when I wrote a Forth compiler for the TI 34010 I included local variables. They helped a lot, but they still don't make Forth as readable as Lisp.
Why not just have the 'logs' in s3 in sorted/indexed buckets.
Consider offering responses other formats, possibly protobuf. Then you can sell it as a solution for limited IoT devices where a full HTML parser is too much. If your service avoids having to host a custom server, it could be very useful.
How to Increase Organic Traffic
I work at Karolinska as the sole developer on a data browsing platform, inside a neurobiology research group. The entire department is either using or learning Python. Of course, the work environment itself is a severe form of selection bias, but there definitely has been an uptake in Python among scientists.

(Which leaves me kinda sad, because I like Julia more - I'm sure it will keep growing though)
That's a really good explanation of your position and reasons for it, thanks you.

>They baldly admit that Unicode is not good for drawing Arabic.....I'd love to use a language simpler than PostScript to draw Arabic! Unicode strings are not that language.

Unicode isn't good for drawing anything. Unicode is not intended to, or try to encode how a text should be displayed. At all, even slightly. This is the root of my disagreement with your post. You're claiming it can't accurately render the appearance of text, but that simply isn't it's purpose. It is purely and only about encoding the graphemes. Glyphs are what fonts and display technologies like PostScript are for, not Unicode.

You could argue that it should do that, perhapse Unicode should be a vector drawing language or something, but it's hard to see how that would make it useful for text processing that does concern itself with graphemes and grapheme like units. Unless the display oriented system you want contained within it a grapheme encoding system like Unicode to facilitate that - but then why not work the other way around and use Unicode for that and build a display system on top of Unicode to address your concerns?

I think trying to have your cake and eat it with a family of distinct DSLs would be problematic. Text processing is bad enough, but how would you process the content of a string that is actually a DSL? With Unicode it's possible to write a library that can process text in any script, even ones not in the standard yet, but if text could consist of computer code in any one of thousands of different domain specific languages, how would you ever be able to write one piece of code to work with all of them and all possible future permutations? Finally if your DSL is producing display output, how does that work with fonts? What if you want to vary the appearance of the output, how do you apply that to the encoding output? It just seems that this approach produces an enormous monolithic super-complex rabbit hole with no bottom in sight.
They should be squishy, so I imagine they pack efficiently.
What precisely do you think the word elitist means? I'm not sure which dictionary you're using but I'm confident that the definition isn't close to "politely explaining the confusion, and then changing the language in your email and resume to match the inaccurate expectations of the idiot on the other end of the conversation"

How to Identify Micro-Moments in E-Commerce Using Big Data
In a simulation environment you know ground truth. (Where objects actually were vs. what you saw.) You can play the same scenario from slightly different angles. Or different conditions (rain, snow, low light, bright light). You can look at counterfactuals (what would I have seen if I had done X). You can test the behavior of your system without actually setting a computer loose in the real world.

From "real world" recorded data you have none of these things.

This is the difference between observational and experimental data and it's a huge difference.

That would force a conversion from opaque type to integer, which would force creation of the rune to byte index. It doesn't have to be handled as a special case. The opaque type thing is an optimization hidden from the user. If you try to look at it, you get the integer value, expensively.

They are not only trading it for environmental saftey. As mentioned in another comment, using these balls you don't have to rely on specialized rail waggons anymore. So, while you may lose some space due to inefficient packing, you could easily make that up by using lots more of (assumedly) cheaper general-purpose/coal waggons.
An excellent point.

Certainly building a reusable rocket in a mostly greenfield environment isn't quite apples-to-apples with maintaining a decades-old transit system that is politically difficult to maintain and expand, but it does illustrate the point that amazing things can be done on a small budget.

Privatizing public services is often fraught with peril, but the bay area transit systems have proven that they're incapable of meeting needs with current management. Not sure what we can do here, unfortunately.
How is that undefined behavior? The C spec says: (6.3.1.4)

> When a finite value of real floating type is converted to an integer type other than _Bool, the fractional part is discarded (i.e., the value is truncated toward zero). If the value of the integral part cannot be represented by the integer type, the behavior is undefined.

char is an integer type and float is a real floating type, so the function should be well-defined for at least some input values, although the exact range (including whether or not it includes negatives, i.e. whether plain ‘char’ is signed) is implementation-defined.

A while ago my HTC phone started showing full screen ads whenever I unlocked the phone. It was a bundled app called Peel Remote which changed its behaviour during an update.

I took some detective work to figure out which app was causing the issue since there's no visible clue on the ad itself, and since I have never used Peel Remote. I eventually figured it out somehow and disabled the app. I imagine that lots of other HTC users are still dealing with this.

HTC should really protect their users from this abusive behaviour by their partners.

EDIT: Mention that I've never even used Peel Remote, which makes the ads even more annoying!

This is somewhat frustrating since I have a Moto-E from Republic Wireless running Android 4.4.4. I only use this phone for texting and calls since it is like 12 bucks a month. For browsing and watching movies I use a iPhone 6 my sister gave me that doesn't have cell or data service. No other software besides what came with the phone has been installed on the Mote-E. I use the default phone and texting applications.

I actually never learned how to screenshot with Android so I just snapped a pic with my iPhones camera.

Julia is definitely a step up in data science programming. It's purpose built for data science. I guess that's also the reason why Python has grown more than Julia. The likelihood of someone having worked with Python in an unrelated field means that when starting out in another field, if the Python option exists, they are probably going to take it.

Apart from that, if one is just getting started out in data science and has never really handled a programming language before, Julia is very nice really. And their documentation is pretty damn awesome. And once you get past the performance recommendations I think it gets pretty fast (?). I'm out of my depth beyond a certain point since I've only ever experimented with it.
Somebody once referred me to a role at Facebook. I never got a response from the recruitment team. After emailing them, one of the recruiters told that their referral platform has some issues. After that I never got a response from any recruiter, I tried reaching out to different recruiters on LinkedIn but none responded. I suppose they have a shitty recruiting team.

The explanation they gave is that TouchPal ads are disabled in HTC phones since the app comes bundled by default, but erroneously, an update installed the generic version with ads instead.

Since they reversed it very quickly, I find it believable.

Why would Nim be a better choice over Julia for data science stuff?
FQL is completely different from GraphQL.
int_19h's approach is still valid for this; you're asking for whole displayed characters which are combined of some (you don't need to know) number of bits in memory across several units of the memory segment(s) that hold the string.

Based on your description, the correct solution is probably to use a structure or class of a more regular format to store the decoded HICN in pre-broken form. If they really only allow numbers in runs of text you might save space and speed comparison/indexing by doing this.
Wow awesome link ! I will try this out for sure :p !
> is not only embarassing for FB but for the recruiting profession in general.

I don't think the profession has any room to be embarrassed:it seems like a check your dignity at the door type deal. I've dealt with plenty of recruiters as an applicant, an employee being hounded for referrals, and even in just social situations, and I can't think of a single positive thing to say about them.

I'm usually not comfortable with such blanket statements, but it's literally 100% of the ones I've interacted with. I've yet to meet one that knows anything about the jobs they're hiring for, or one that doesn't give you the dirty feeling of being used after a conversation in any capacity with them. The worst was meeting them in social situations when they'd hear I worked for Google: 90% of the time they'd immediately get a predatory gleam in their eye and the tenor of their interactions with me would immediately shift. It was sickeningly transparent.
C might be killable if the hardware significantly changes at some point, leading to systems languages better suited to handling that hardware.

But future people don't exist. If a nuclear holocaust wipes us all out, they will never exist, and hence will never suffer. So really it depends on whether you consider "the continued existence of the human race" to be a moral imperative or whether you don't.

It's hard to find out. Noone really seems to be talking about it.

It is enabled in Firefox nightly, though I don't know if the API is stable yet:

undefined

> new Point({x:1, y:2})

InlineTransparentTypedObject { x: 1, y: 2 }
I don't think they meant for production, just testing and toying with it.
This side-steps the legal question, but GraphQL is ultimately an idea on API design, and less about the corresponding libraries, such as the ones by Apollo or Facebook.

Of course the libraries are important too, but even if Facebook specifically strangled GraphQL to death, the idea of simple declarative HTTP API is too valuable to let it die on the vine.

In parallel, even if Facebook decided to strangle their React user base with patent trolling, and everyone decided to ditch React, the idea of a declarative DOM library or unidirectional flow is too good to let it die with React. And so we see it in Vue, Angular, and Preact or Inferno.

Hype may be related to many factors, one of which is mere library or ecosystem polish, often propelled by a big company with labor to spare, but I think the benefits behind a declarative HTTP API are real.
For some context: Peel Remote is an app for using the IR blaster to control your TV/DVR. HTC used to have their own app for it, but it got discontinued so they put up Peel Remote as the replacement.

I was about to consider this a shame, as HTC's own app was pretty good, but not sure if I would trust them not to put ads in it anyway now.

Doxxing/outing people here is probably against site rules, and if it's not, it's still unprofessional and likely to reflect just as badly on the him as on the recruiter. The recruiter can say to his boss, "shit, I didn't have enough coffee that day!" and be forgiven; Stan won't get the same forgiveness.
