Another perspective:

If you consider a gender to be the distinct set of behaviors that achieve the highest genetic fitness for their matched biological sex, then there is likely to be much less variation than current political discourse would suggest.
I suspect it would be relatively straightforward. Treat each datapoint as origin of a voronoi cell, in both realspace and travel-timespace. This would give you appropriate cage boundaries on both maps, and the transformation between them should be easy.
This is why my wife and I chose a play-based co-op pre-school for our kids. They both were academically above average compared to their peers in kindergarten.

But everyone is different. Our kids learned well by being allowed to pick what they studied. That may not be suitable for all children, and some, perhaps even many or most, might need more structure and rigor earlier.
I've been looking for a service like this. Thanks for flagging!

Ask HN: Looking for 3D printing startups in the UK
I'm giving a talk on my expereince developing Formlabs' Fuse 1 SLS printer at a conference in Birmingham next week. I have a couple of days (Sept 29 - Oct 1) after the conference and I'm looking for any interesting hardware or 3D printing companies that might not have a lot of attention yet who could want to meet up for a chat. London would be best, but happy to go somewhere else in the UK for a good reason. If you or someone you know fit that description let me know - my email is eduardo at formlabs.

Well I don't think that statement was meant to be taken literally - you don't just sentence someone to 4 years of hospital instead of 4 years of prison. It's more that you provide support for anyone with drug problems whether that is counselling, support for kicking the habit, replacement drugs on prescription (methadone or what have you) clean needles and needle exchanges.

We should be doing this anyway for the sake of treating people humanely instead of cruelly. The fact that it'd probably be cheaper and would result in more productive, healthy citizens is just a pleasant side-effect.

I sometimes run races of up to 24 hours. The Garmin will record an activity that long, and longer if you charge it during the activity. This is an extreme case, but the Apple Watch can’t do either of these things.

My Garmin connects to a foot pod. This gives more accurate cadence info than from your wrist. It also gives more accurate instantaneous pace and more accuate distance if you’re running somewhere that GPS is insufficient.

There are high tech accessories that track additonal metrics that work with the Garmin, such as the Stryd foot pod.

The Garmin display is always on. I prefer this to the Apple display.

The Garmin uses its physical buttons for all operations of the watch which means I can use it no matter how sweaty my hands are or whether I’m using gloves.

The Garmin battery lasts 7-10 days.

Garmin Connect syncs my runs to Strava and Smashrun. I can also download all my runs to rubiTrack.

Those are a few of the reasons I prefer my Garmin.
Because highly visible users of their platform (verified celebrities) started DMing the CEO and threatened to leave if bullies were not dealt with. Creating a safe space for the social elite is very much adding business value to Twitter and makes investors happy.

Really? I wish more people would have just come out and said that. Special treatment for the whales explains everything so much better.

But I guess that doesn't sell well to the have-nots, and it needed to be recast as harassment problem at all levels. Which subjugated all of us to years of commentary and squabbling over how we're going to use computers to fix undesirable-but-totally-natural aspects of human behavior. Also explains why the highly-visible people seemed so cool with instituting a privately-controlled nanny state every step of the way.
You don't need commas :)
No worries, I don't take that as a personal remark at all. I agree with all of that. I agree (and I agreed when we discussed this before) that we have not achieved unconstrained realism yet.

I'm objecting to your claims that it's not possible. We can't check whether it's not possible. We can only verify that it has been done, after it's been done.

Nobody has done the experiment you've laid out. Not having examples that contradict you is not evidence that it can't be done. The criteria and claims you made are yours to defend.

I also counter that light transport, and specifically color multiplication, are not the problems getting in the way of realism.

It seems like you're intentionally discounting and ignoring progress in constrained realism. We have achieved some CG video that is indistinguishable from realty. Not hours of alligators in Thailand, or of people talking, but short videos of fruit bowls and architecture for sure. The dominos are falling, one by one.

I built this demo during Microsoft's internal hackathon, Oneweek, to show what GraphQL querying of the Microsoft Graph API could look like. While not all GraphQL functionality is currently implemented (namely support for pagination, data mutations), I think it's quite cool to be able to request resources from different services in a single request (eg. fetching my recent emails, OneDrive files, users in my org). The gist of how this works: the tooling translates an OData schema into a GraphQL schema and code generates resolvers for each field.

Here is the repo if you'd like to self-host the service:

We're interested in your feedback about integrating with Microsoft Graph using GraphQL. To share your thoughts and scenarios, please leave a comment on UserVoice: https://officespdev.uservoice.com/forums/224641-feature-requ...

I'm happy to answer questions about Microsoft Graph or the implementation of this project.

I really want to get into these types of apps as I think it will greatly improve my work speed. But I am always afraid of becoming over-dependent on these tools. I commonly change environments in my work, so I often have to adapt to new systems.

If these tools are somehow portable via usb/internet sync, I think I would start to use them more.
The implication you're making here, by addressing specifically this comment, is that the parent is how to comment on Hacker News.

You run a cesspool.
For non power users, a computer that basically just works into a browser, which is where they do most of their computing, and is really hard to mess up is a nice thing. This is great for my young child and my mother in law. I no longer have to fix their computers, because they don't break.

For power users, The intel core processor based chromebooks can run a standard Linux install as well, FreeBSD mostly works, and Windows can work with some effort. So you're not really locked in. There's a decent community of people packaging updated coreboot builds that get better at booting other operating systems over time.

I don't know that that the pixel appeals to me, but the low spec chromebooks are nice because they're cheap and they usually have decently up to date cpus -- I don't want/need a super fast CPU but I want the latest architecture. Most Windows laptops in the prices range are really bulky and have slow spinning drives instead of an SSD (granted, the SSDs are usually tiny in the chromebooks). At the price point of the Chromebook Pixel series, you're getting a higher tier CPU, so you do need to shop around and see if you're getting a good value for the parts, and if you like the system design. Honestly, I don't see why I would pay $1000+ for a laptop that doesn't have the cluster of keys around page up/page down, but I'm a dinosaur and my taste isn't very well reflected in the marketplace. At the $200 price range where I've bought a few chromebooks, I can manage using a keyboard without important keys. :)

Nice analogy but if your data is "big" at all you will discover you can do a lot of FLOPS on a billion floating point numbers in the time it takes to parse them.
It's possibly a Bay Area (and similar regions) thing. There are waiting lists years long for some schools, especially those perceived to offer that "leg up" on the academic career path. Some of this may be due to deficiency of supply, but some is definitely due to academic pressure.
Probably so. I just thought of an article I read about the hyper-competitive pre-school scene in NYC. The parents hired a coach for their 4 YO's pre-school admissions interview.
I run into those captcha's occasionally and generally reconnecting to a different VPN makes them go away. I always assume they are tied to bot activity coming through the same IP or range. I've scraped google in the past (years and years ago) and from what I recall you end up hitting the captchas after a set number of results in too short a period. Back then it was a pretty standard SEO activity, but it's usefulness was minimized when google started localizing results.

Geotraffic for Developers
You need a CLA precisely you need a default in the case (99.9999% of the time) when the author fails to license their own patches. Maybe this just has never been an issue before, or maybe there are already court precedents around it. But it seems beneficial for authors, maintainers, and users to reduce or eliminate ambiguity due to "un-licensed" contributions.
Pretty neat. I frequently use the example of Yelp's list and map views as an example of how maps aren't always better, even as they are more appealing compared to a text list. But I frequently use the list view because I can sort by distance, while still seeing the other important info (such as star rating, cost, food type).

But distance isn't the only important geospatial factor. Frequently I want to find a place to eat/drink that's on the way to another destination (such as a movie theater). This kind of chrono map would be more useful in a new city in which I don't know that a place 0.2 mi away to the west involves crossing an interstate. In a setting I'm familiar with, it's probably not particularly useful on mobile (given the limited dimensions for showing points and text labels), but could be great on print displays. It'd allow designers to show geospatial/time info without also having to render a full map.

On the topic of Yelp and other listing services, maybe some refinements could be made to make lists more geospatially useful. No reason why the list view has to show just distance, rather than time traveled. Or to include a filter option for direction, so that I can just see things west or south of me. It's pretty frustrating sometimes having to switch back and forth between list and map.
`gitweb` is a server that comes with your git install.

The `gitweb` web interface includes both a log and shortlog view for repositories. You can probably use those to some benefit.

I've used DDG on and off since the initial HN submission, and I have to agree with the 'like quitting smoking' comment.

In the past I would switch to it when I'm feeling some google-morning-after-shame (e.g. after seeing some targeted ads), I would stick with it for a day or two, but eventually go back to the 'what I wanted is on the first page' magic of google.

I've used DDG more consistently since changing the firefox search default, but there are still some things that I end up googling - sometimes DDG shows too many irrelevant results on the first page.

I think paying more attention to the bangs and moving away from 'keyword' searches will probably help - after all a tool is more useful if you learn how to use it properly - but for some topics (e.g. Haskell examples) if the first answer it finds isn't what I was looking for, the next couple of pages of results are usually useless too.

Not all preschools are like this, and I'm not sure how things are really trending. In my neck of the woods, the more highly sought after programs feature more talking, listening, and discovery. A slogan that our child's school uses is "Play is children's work." Unfortunately, many of these are private and may or may not be eligible for state funds.

I really hope that we can accept turnabout as fair play. At some point, China is going to have technology that America wants and I hope that we can pilfer it.

On the flipside though, industrial espionage is a wealth transfer that reduces inequality. I recently purchased tires for my car - I got some Chinese ones that were 1/2 the price of the other tires and the Chinese tires are shockingly fine. I don't know how they'd get the price and quality without benefiting from industrial espionage.

Perhaps something more ideal would be to opensource everything that's been stolen. It'd encourage companies to take security seriously and it would reduce the value of the stolen property.

Lastly, I kind of wonder how much of this problem is due to companies insisting on removing dependencies from certain people / groups. Think of all the documentation people create 'in case you get hit by a bus tomorrow'. When my grandpa worked, it sounds like it was fine to have undocumented things so long as people knew about it (e.g watch out for that machine, it's sensitive to humidity and here's how to reset it). Now, I'm sure some middle manager would insist that the 'operational knowledge' be documented and stored somewhere that becomes that much more lucrative for a thief.
Don't confuse mean with median. Someone earning the mean will be well above the median (i.e. earning more than most people) because the mean is skewed by the very well off.
Nope, they ignore memory model.

>A list of courses is not enough, haha

Norvig's essay is an all time classic, but I'm not sure how it applies here. There's a difference between thinking a single book is going to teach one to be a professional developer and thinking a BS-equivalent set of online courses and the hundreds if not thousands of hours of work it would take to complete them might teach someone something about computer science.

Many great developers are self-taught. Having resources like recordings of university lectures from some of the best schools in the country just makes the long, difficult journey a bit easier.
Would be interested to hear what search engines people here use. I feel the promise of DDG is the ability to match your search engine to your purpose. Maybe if you want to search for a particular code snippet you can use a search engine that is friendly to programming syntax. Or if you want more lateral results, you use a search engine with an unusual algorithm. But I haven't yet been able to find alternatives, if they exist.
> the macro vs micro evolution concepts have been used by evolutionists since the late 1920's

They are used as concepts to organize things to make them easier to understand. They are not used to make actual predictions.
Don't know about others, but since I run my projects in containers anyway, I'll usually use `direnv` on my host to set GOPATH to project directory, and then use the default GOPATH in go docker images (`/go`).

I could even do without direnv altogether, but I need it so that vim-go can report build errors on file saving.
Except when people lack empathy, they call it political correctness. My problem is I have not found a good way to teach empathy to someone who is lacking it, repeating someone elses story doesn't work and its hard to get other people sometimes to actively experience the same things that I have (even if its just listening to a story on the radio).
equifaxsecurity2017.com sounds like such a scammy site too. It's exactly the kind of thing I'd expect a fake site to be named.

The preschool my kids go to is starting to implement more school readiness content and I am adamantly opposed to it. Unfortunately, all the other parents are pro "learning" and want the changes.

Forcing young children to learn specific topics can only lead to one outcome: a destruction of man's natural desire to learn about the world through association of learning with pain.

Kids learn all the time at an incredible rate. One day, my daughter came home and said, "Daddy, look at this picture I made: a dog, a cat, a pig, a horse, a cow, a chicken! These are all animals that live on a farm!" Yet when I ask her "did you learn anything at school today," the answer, invariably, is "no."

To switch out this kind of early childhood education with a curriculum of forced learning intended to mold the child into a bureaucrats ill-conceived vision of a virtuous society is monstrous.
> it would probably help the woman in this article if she lost some weight

You know how awful this sounds, right? I'm not sure you meant it the way it sounds. Please clarify. Do you mean that by reducing the physical weight of her body you think the sidewalks would somehow be easier for her wheelchair to navigate? Hopefully not because that's absurd.

> It should definitely be possible to make a wheelchair that can go up a single step. Especially for $30k.

It's not like there is no innovation in this area (see the "tank chair" for a good example). But there are many obstacles, of many kinds, here. Of course.

This is not just your comment: All through this thread people who haven't thought the issue through in detail seem to be waving their hands at the real problem (environment is not suitable for all users) and proposing these ad hoc solutions as though nobody has thought of them before.

Until we can all float around in hoverchairs, we need the damn sidewalks to be functional. I have no problem thinking outside the box but at some point you have to come back to reality
I wonder if a revision control system like Git obviates this problem, so long as you make clean patch merges.

I've been reading The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. And assuming that Earth is super overpopulated eventually (moreso that now), sterilazation, DNA altering, and other radical changes in mankind such as homogenous relationships worldwide may be one of the few ways mankind can persist in he universe ...

It's a good book. I recommend it. I guess my point is that sometimes when something is different Now, it's hard to grasp it's significance and pros and cons because maybe our viewpoint is skewed to our current perceptions (which is a theme throughout the book, it has alot of time travel).
Ostensibly, these kind of maps imply the time-cost of those obstacles more accurately than a standard map in which as-the-bird-flies distances are more explicitly shown.
The flaw in the politically correct approach is often that it fails to empathize with those who don't yet empathize. And often resorts to shaming when it is unable to create the empathy needed to create action.
