This is why cities are going broke.

I live on a small farm in the middle-of-nowhere NC. (20min to even a gas station) I'm currently working with our local zoning dept. to get approval to use my barn in a home-occupation. Even though I'm far away, will have zero employees, and no customers on the property - I'm STILL being forced to spend close to $3K to retrofit for ADA compliance.

Life is not fair. Trying to sue and regulate this country into everyone's idea of "fairness" will bankrupt us and destroy any concept of freedom we still have left.
Sorry. I meant the guy to the left recognized the guy to the right, of course.

Some background: I was at the bar with the guy to my right -- and he deserved to get his ass kicked. So not only was I in the middle of a developing fight, my options were three: 1) back off and watch my friend get a beat-down, 2) try to talk to this guy and calm him down, or 3) Take up for my friend and get into a fight myself

I chose the option in the middle
I like the principle of this idea but will it be able to scale without incentive for users to run ipfs storage nodes? Otherwise its usefulness will be limited by the ipfs growth rate; if too many people use this, the ipfs network may fill to capacity.

Granted I'm not familiar with ipfs, and only briefly read this readme, so maybe I'm missing some crucial details. But it seems to me that ipfs is fundamentally unscaleable past some finite limit, unless it can incentivize storage.

And if there is some upload/download ratio incentive (a la "seed ratio" in torrents), there is still the problem that a large user needs to store ("give") $price(100gb) to upload ("get") $price(100gb).

In that case the biggest consumers must also be the biggest hosts, at which point the value proposition of decentralized storage no longer makes sense. If you are the biggest host, and the network wouldn't be able to host your content without your resources, then why bother with decentralization in the first place? It makes more sense for the biggest users to run their own storage networks than to contribute to a network that does not meaningfully amplify their storage capacity.
Your typical DIYer is unable to penetrate an asphalt shingle or metal roof and properly waterproof those penetrations for the panel frame supports, voiding your roof warranty and possibly negating any ability to make a claim for water damage from your homeowner's insurance.

Also, any electrical work in most sane jurisdictions is going to require signoff from both the local code department and the utility (if grid tie).

The labor of a professional is cheaper than possible poor outcomes.
BTC noob here, please forgive me. My understanding is that you can send from any wallet to any other wallet, right? So what's to stop me from having wallets on both Huobi and LakeBTC, buying a BTC on Huobi for $3524 then transferring it to my LakeBTC wallet and selling it for $4282?

I understand arbitrage so I'm sure there's a step I'm missing, and I know there's often a delay between the order and fulfillment, fees etc, but a 21.5% spread between Huobi and LakeBTC seems like a lot.
Thanks - Andrew Huang sounds like a fascinating guy, I'll check this out.

Yes, but consider this: how many scratchpad GitHub projects have actual bugfix PRs that are linked to filed and resolved bug tickets? The projects in this study were selected exactly on this basis.

Further, the authors realise that GitHub projects may be biased:

> GitHub may not be representative of projects, since proprietary projects tend not to use it.

And, they overcome this bias by sampling, from all GitHub projects:

> To construct a list of bugs we could uniformly sample, we took a snapshot of all publicly available JavaScript projects on GitHub, with their closed issue reports. We uniformly selected a closed and linked issue, using the procedure described above and stopped sampling when we reached 400 bugs.

When you sample from all available JavaScript GitHub projects, you have a very high probability of overcoming representativeness bias.
>And what, exactly, does a Chromebook offer?

Not having to care about software and hardware specs like those you've mentioned.

Those people value closed OS that's irrevocably tied to the Cloud (as a good thing).

And I shouldn't even have to point it out. That's literally the marketing proposition behind Chromebooks from the start.

>It's so bad that most people that cheer for these devices say "just put Linux on it".

You'd be surprised.
That works for Wikipedia type knowledge, yes. But not for finding random blog posts from yesterday, or reddit or HN discussions.
Just downloaded it, gave it a try, and already in love with it! Will definitely buy it later today.

What I did with it: Automated searching a project name in an app called Todoist where I have to hit slash to go to the search field, enter a `#` sign as a prefix for project names, hit the down arrow key to select the project name that is suggested and finally hit enter key. This'll go right to that project. Now I hit a hotkey, enter a partial name for the project and enter. It'll open Todoist or put focus on it and open the appropriate project.

It was super easy to create the macro.
It doesn't ignore those things, it just recognizes that they are small secondary effects. We would never consider building ramps everywhere for strollers or suitcases because the benefits are just obviously not worth the cost. Walkers are fine to consider, but in my non-representative experience, folks who use walkers who can't handle a curb rarely use a walker outside; they use the walker indoors and a wheelchair outside.

Yes the world is a disorganized, bumpy, and unwelcoming place for folks using wheelchairs (or scooters), but the question is how to ameliorate that problem economically. "Not huge in the grand scheme of things" does not help us decide which strategy is better, and is an attitude that fails to address the huge invisible drag induced by thousands of individually modest requirements.

Going up multiple stairs is a completely different problem. It's naively quite plausible that it's maximally efficient to modify wheelchairs so they go over curbs while still putting ramps and elevators in public buildings wherever there are multiple stairs.
Enry: detecting languages
There was a thread on this about a year ago here, and after reading through the results I decided to start taking Magnesium supplements. I've had very good results. I really recommend it to anyone that has issues with anxiety or depression. While its certainly not a cure-all, its easy, cheap, and safe, so its absolutely worth a try.
That looks interesting, thank you. I'm an inveterate tinkerer too...
It occurs to me that without the apparent anger of the author, I would likely have never heard of "Bodega". They would have died quietly and never made an impact on my life. Now I know who they are, who founded the company, and what they're trying to accomplish.

I tried DDG several times over the years before finally sticking with it about 2 years ago. Now it feels weird to go back to Google because I've gotten used to using some of the bangs.

What do you think about removing the cap on the House of Representatives at 435? I think Democrats should really support this completely Constitutional fix to the electoral college instead of advocating that it be removed.

But doing that doesn't necessarily involves calculating a precise measurement of the ratios present in the metaphor. Human language conveys lots of meaning by evocative imaginery, too, so not all expressions should be taken literally.

Sometimes, taking the literal meaning might even distort the original message, like in this case changing the mosquito with a goose - if that had been the original expression, everyone would have wondered why the author chose such strange comparison.

Builds are very complicated. It's not as simple as 'JS is your whole app'. The package manager is getting better at injecting native code (react-native link) but has a long way to go.

I spent a lot of time debugging RN. The instant reload feature comes with hangups. Tracebacks don't always appear.

Navigation isn't cross-platform.

Interacting with native APIs is nightmarish. JS wasn't built for java interop.
.io had a similar issue beginning this year.

You might consider remote work. I live in middle Tennessee and have been working on distributed teams for seven years.

Contact me (see profile) if you have any questions.
you don't hire a company, you build a team. you bring on a lead developer as a CTO and part founder, then you build overtime a development team to build your idea. Otherwise you are going to waste money, because once your company gets going you'll have to try to find people that will work with the MVP that was bought instead of built. also VC or Angel investors are going to see the fact you don't have a Development team in-house as a red flag and a risk.

Your also taking a huge risk by hiring out the development to a development house as that you won't know what kind of quality you'll get. You won't know if the development language is the right one for the job, if it was developed in a manner that features can be added later by your team once you have a team, etc... You might have to do a complete re-write later, which can sink a startup.

Figure out how much stock you can afford/willing to give to a partner, if you can pay a salary now that's a bonus. Look at your current connections, I'm sure you can find someone. I'm assuming you can as that you want to hire a development company. You might want to just figure out what you can pay now, and hire a lead developer if you can not find someone in you inner circle already. put together a offer, X a year to start, plus Y% Equity, etc...
>However, why can't someone get a cheaper laptop similar specs, perhaps worse design, just install linux on it?

Because they want the "all Cloud, all the way" simplicity of a Chromebook as opposed to the "you're on your own" standard Linux operational mode.
If you want a rigorous account of what neuroscientists call consciousness, which isn't quite the same thing as what philosophers call consciousness, I'd recommend reading Consciousness and the Brain by Stanislas Dehaene. Looking at a brain, the reaction to stimulus that enters consciousness and stimulus that remains subliminal are very distinct. And, for example, only the effects of conscious stimulus persist in the brain for more than a couple of seconds. Well, Pavlovian conditioning between stimuli can occur subconsciously but only if the two two stimuli are presented at the same time. If you want to condition a dog to salivate when you ring a bell you either have to ring the bell loud enough for the dog to be conscious of it or you have to ring it while the dog is eating.
Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.

There are actually also quite a few transformations you can do to a video that would be noticeable in a still frame.

In particular, I remember some video stabilization a few years ago that just warped the input images instead of building a proper 3d model. It worked in real time and looked great in the video---but in a still frame you could see that the angles were all slightly off.

Crouton[0] is one option for that, but I would recommend GalliumOS[1] to anyone interested in a Chromebook. My current laptop is an Acer C720, purchased for $110 and running GalliumOS. It's not shiny or new, but it gets the job done, and it's practically cheap enough to be disposable. There are admittedly times when I wish I could justify the cost of a Pixel or an XPS 13, but I can't really get past the idea of being able to buy a half-dozen other machines for the same price.

I think what he means is, when bitcoin / cash split, everyone 'doubled' their coins.
Since they share the same previous blockchain, after they 'split' in effect you have two coins for every one coin you had before the split.
You can spend your Bitcoin cash, while you still own the same coin in Bitcoin.
The results are terrible. I tried a simple search for a large Porsche dealership which is down the street from my house and it did not even come up in the top 5 results.

Would be a great search engine if it was the year 2001.
In the last split people who held bitcoins got an equal quantity of "Bitcoin cash", so if you had 1 BTC, after the split you had 1 BTC and 1 BCH.

Looking at https://coinmarketcap.com/ you can see that each BCH is worth ~$500 (at the time of this comment) and the value of BTC is higher after the split.

so in essence $8,154,513,572 of new value was created from nothing with the split.

If the next split follow the same pattern, more money appears...
maybe you could pull down changes on a daily basis? not a complete reindex but just updates that prune dead links and add new ones.

the problem is this would be completely useless for current events. but querying sites you use regularly, this could be an option. I often end a google search with modifiers like "wikipedia" or "reddit" or "stackoverflow". If I could store indexes to those sites offline that might be useful.

The creator of this offline search could potentially make money by indexing shopping sites like Amazon, eBay, etc with affiliate links.
I'm a react native consultant, so I've seen several different projects (of all different sizes). Overall, I've been super happy with React Native, and would easily recommend it to anyone looking to build an Android and iOS version of the same app.

There have been a lot of changes since 2015 - and the overall experience has gotten quite a bit better. There are many more modules available for both platforms (in 2015 you probably found a lot of modules only supported iOS and not Android) - and in general the whole ecosystem is more stable.

That said: not everything is perfect. React Native moves quickly, so there are sometimes frustrating bugs (especially in new releases) that can take a bit of time to resolve. Also, it's not a great fit for every type of app. 3D games are an obvious example of when you'd want to go native (or use unity).

However, after having done native iOS development and react native development, I can say that react native is still faster (development speed). In practice I find that I can reuse 95% of the code between iOS and Android, so it's been a great win for the teams I've been on.

> That's elitist

Wait, what?!

I do think that every "sysadmin" who is able to write super-complex shell scripts with large sed/awk scripts is also able to learn Python or Ruby. And I'm convinced that this knowledge will enable them to produce rock-solid tools (which they need!) more easily than with Shell scripts.

Splitting the world into admins and programmers - that is elitist.

You won't find this distinction in small companies, and you find that in large companies only because that's how they happen to be organized - and are heavily criticized for that, mostly by Agile and DevOps movements.

Moreover, removing that distiction is one of the core values of the Free Software movement. The early essays of RMS show this in a very clear way.

Many people are doing "real programming" without noticing, and this is why they are using improper tools for that, and should start to learn at least one general-purpose language to make things easier for themselves. It is all about using the right tool for the job, and for complex jobs, a generic programming language with proper libraries is the right tool - far better suited than a shell script gluing together highly specialized tools, which run in separate processes and communicate via ad-hoc text formats rather than proper data structures.

For every complex system (OS, games, 3D modelling tools), the emerging power users are also beginning programmers, and the more complex things you are able to build within one DSL or (embeeded) scripting language, the easier it is to jump to a general-purpose programming language. Some systems are so nice that they use a general-purpose programming language for scripting in the first place - such as Lua for many game engines, Python for Blender and Gimp, Scheme (Guile) for Guix package building, and so on.

Calling Yusuf "Cat Stevens" Islam "disagreeable" is a euphemism, he is a bigot and an religious extremist of the worse kind. He wants people to get killed for their ideas although I bet he didn't even read Rushdie.

>It's a very affluent borough, but you'll see people grind down the edges of the sidewalk that stick up in order to meet the code. So you can maintain without replacing.

That's kind of why I'm being defeatist. You just need a ton of money to keep sidewalks in good order. And you need the people that live in the area to care enough to report the issues.

>You're being downvoted for the first paragraph, but I think your second paragraph is sensible.

Yeah, I was really trying to setup the second paragraph to be impactful, but I don't think people got that far.
Unless you split the value so that BTC = BTCa + BTCb, there will be a change in the amount of "money" that exists, without any change in the amount of "value". When Bitcoin Cash came along the price of one of that plus a Bitcoin Vanilla was more than the price of a pre-split BTC, so everyone "made money". "quotes" indicate that you may argue that this isn't real.

We switched to React Native for Bitesnap after developing the initial prototype using swift. We've been using it for almost a year now and have no regrets. It allowed us to ship our product to a much larger audience without slowing us down.

Users seem pretty happy with the product as well, we've had no complaints about performance aside from a barcode scanning issue on older android devices.

Did you read the entire article? The main problems the woman are having are with lack of curb cuts, lack of sidewalks, and obstructions in the sidewalk, even on new construction. This has nothing to do with "nature wearing things down" and everything to do with them simply not being built correctly.

Some of the mentioned sidewalks are one hundred years old, and are thoroughly decayed as a result. I bet if every road you had to drive on was in that condition then you'd be upset about it and would demand repairs, rather than just throwing up your hands at the inevitability of entropy. Maybe you want to go live out in primitive conditions in the jungle somewhere, but the rest of us want civilization. Your logic applies equally to roads as it does to sidewalks, so should we just give up on them as well?
