Pollen is a Racket language, and gets parsed into an AST and evaluated. You can programmatically generate correct markup using all of Racket.

Org Babel is more about evaluating code snippets in a variety of languages. Even if you can evaluate to produce org markup that's processed it doesn't have the same level of structural integration.
This is incredibly annoying. What do you mean it's all okay? For whom? You think the economy slowed down immediately after GST? No. GST's effect is yet to come in full flow. Dude the GDP has come to 6% in such a huge economy? You think that's a hiccup? Why aren't you all accepting numbers? If there is a small hiccup, then why is there a prolonged negative emotion in the country? If you ask how, see the recent attacks by the govt on a weak leader like Rahul Gandhi, this plan to electrify all villages. There was a plan to clean Ganga, clean the entire country as well. We all know how that went. If you don't accept failure you'll never grow.

KA lecture videos were much more in-depth and much more useful than any high school math lesson I ever received.

I mean, Khan is obviously a top teacher, if he wasn't, he'd get replaced by Johnie Academy or whatever pretty quickly. You can't really staff every high school with top teachers, especially if they earn below average wage (that's the case where I live).

It's also a feature of the whole digital format. The lecture can be bugfixed until there are no mistakes left. And have you ever tried telling your high school teacher to rewind 3 minutes and speak 2x times as quickly?

this article is overly opinionated and narrow-minded.

Many startups use NoSQL. Personally I prefer NoSQL for most use cases. That said I have nothing against SQL itself but I will NEVER go back to using an ORM - They're a dirty hack; always have been and always will be. I'd rather write the SQL by hand.

I love using MongoDB; it's very simple to use. I liked RethinkDB's ReQL even more (even though the company itself had to shut down, the open source project is still great).

The main problem with SQL databases is that the powerful features offered by SQL don't scale; so if you want to build a future-proof system, you have to avoid using certain features like joins; the advantage of NoSQL is that it's built to scale; the constraints are are feature.
Machines are superior sometimes, you're right (and for the best of us, that's for sure). But that's not my point. My point is that we shouldn't compare machines to men. Because too often one compares the perceived characteristics of men (like too expensive, wanting too much, having a consciousness, having babies,...) to other characteristics of machines, logically concluding that men are more troubles than machines.

Fact is that right now, in every media, machines are presented as a threat to employment of men. By presenting it as such, media imply the fact that for employment, machines are better. At the same time, governments, spend most of their time fighining against unemployment, which sort of criminalize people who don't get a job (they don' look hard enough, they're not flexible enough).

So all of this lead to a big problem : people don't get job and it's their fault and, moreover, for the simpler jobs, men are inferior to machines. So basically, we show men under a very dim light. That's what I see all around.

Now, if you tell me that machines will remove the hard part of some jobs (like heavy lifting, working in polluted environement, etc) and, at the same time, the benefits made by those who have machines ('cos machine are cheaper than men) are fully redistributed (save for capex) to those who lost their job, then we can have a talk.
There's a $5000 threshold for stealing CPU time. A mining program might hit that.

Problem is that, from past experiences, censorship were rarely alleviated even after the event it was supposed to serve. Situations deteriorated year by year. First it was TCP reset by keyword, then came the DNS poisoning, and then the blockage of whole IP ranges for Google, Facebook, twitter and other User-generated-content sites. Unregistered VPNs are expected to be the next.

It's odd but it enables a lot of useful things (e.g. magrittr's pipe operators). It's possible to write functions that change their behaviour depending on what name they were called by too.
I do agree that "tracking" ads are undesirable. I also doubt whether they are really as effective as the ad mongers would have their customer's believe. It I search for a topic it does not necessarily mean I want to buy something related to the topic. Not every effort to acquire information is motivated by consumerism. I think in a subscription model the echo chamber / mutually reinforcing world views effects would be even stronger. It is human nature that people sort into tribal camps. In general ads are effective when they appeal to basic aspects of human nature. That does not mean that the ads themselves are responsible for those aspects of human nature we don't always agree with.

Wes seems to be very focused on performance and big data applications these days, and of course it'd be great if Pandas could be used for bigger datasets, but when I hear people complain about Pandas they complain about:

1. the weird handling of types and null values (#4)
2. the verbosity of filtering like `dataframe[dataframe.column == x]` and transformations like `dataframe.col_a - dataframe.col_b`, compared to `dplyr` in R
3. warts on the indexing system (including MultiIndex, which is very powerful but confusing)

For those of us who use Pandas as an alternative to R, these usability shortcomings matter way more than memory efficiency.
I'm running 2x1TB in RAID 0, so Samsung Magician doesn't let me enable RAPID mode, it just says it's unsupported. And yeah, I never run them near full, usually about 200-300GB are completely free.

Besides, RAPID mode seems to destroy performance if you care about number of operations per second(and I do very much, I'm writing millions of files to the drive every day)

Wow, did I really break someone's feelings with that sentence ?

It is a personal opinion but yes, using an expensive cab or the like instead of largely available public transportation (it's London) is laziness in my opinion.

Is having a personal feeling and general impression from what I've see amongst my acquaintances, about the kind of behavior that brings people to use individual premium means of transportation, breaking HN guidelines ?

Because yes that's what I'm implying but I phrased it not in a "universal truth" way but more in a "personal impression about an issue" way. Which seems a rather common attitude here. Also harassed no one during it (was not targeted at a specific user), so I have a hard time seeing what harm I've done here.

I just added this sentence as a reminder that Uber is a completely unessential service, that its popularity just capitalizes on people's laziness imo, and that I couldn't care less if people suddently had to use their feet and share space and transportation again.

Without incurring additional debt, the RBI could print only so much new currency as equal to the amount of old currency returned. This was the main reason for the crash crunch for the new currency, the ATMs being dry. Somehow nobody communicated this to the people.

Now they may have underestimated the logistical issues to verify how much currency was returned.

> What made you think that I got carried away by emotional rhetoric?

Refusing to accept or understand failure means that there is something else that makes you argue for it even when there are explicit results for everyone to see. Also it was not directed at you personally, rather at anyone who supports this decision still.

Again, the amount of impact it has caused is there for everyone to see. The numbers are out. Arguing anymore about this is like arguing with flat earth society. Let's not downplay the Poor's suffering.
> you have to avoid using certain features like joins

Too bad it is kinda sorta the thing with a RDBM. Relationnal. When you have to work with data which are related and don't want to do stupid shit like updating the infos of an author in each of its written article you want SQL.

But nothing prevents you from using a NoSQL database on top or even multiple ones. If you have multiple way to use your data, having multiple read or write models is a plus.

In the long run this probably won't work. The way most cryptocurriences work is their supply is limited and the difficulty of mining increases as the amount of computational power allocated to mining grows. In the case of unlimited supply cryptocurrencies you would have an inflationary effect where more and more people try to make money off of users' computational resources generating more and more crypto-tokens reducing the value of a given "unit of mining effort." The Internet is a hyper-competitive marketplace so "profit" trends to zero in the long run. This will also be true of Google and Facebook. In the long run search will be distributed among Internet nodes maybe like a semantic DNS not under the control of a few companies. People will be able to host their social profiles in the search records. But until the long run arrives this approach will be interesting.

I've noticed also noticed this. Currently I'm thinking of buying a cheap refillable laser printer to print out books an articles. There is something else about reading something on paper and being able to work through it (highlighting, taking notes etc.). I've tried PDF annotation programs, but none of them worked quite well.

I think the solution to this problem might be either ultra high resolution monitors or e-ink monitors.

Germany. The "regular" police is federalized to the state level. The former border force (Bundesgrenzschutz) is now called Bundespolizei but is still mostly border force, protects the federal government, the railways and air infrastructure.
The Customs office (Zoll) is also a police on the federal level, responsible for customs (of course) but also federal taxes and illegal employment.
Then there ist the Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt), which is the central criminal police but each state also has their own.
We also have the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Verfassungsschutz) but they are the domestic secret service and of course every state has its own domestic secret service...

The municipalities have, depending on the state they are in, forces they call police or "police office" but they are for code enforcement, public health and security, etc.

There is also a military police (Feldjäger) but they don't play a role in day to day life.

How I Went from Indie Lurker to Indie Hacker
Respectfully, I disagree with a lot of the points here.

School isn't just about credentialing or dishing out information. You learn a lot about interacting with others, getting a social life, developing relationships with different people, discovering more about yourself and the list goes on. Even a bad experience is still an experience.

I'm in the digital learning field and can get doe-eyed about the potential of tech. But the Internet will never replace teachers. Many online courses can be excellent alternatives to class-learning, but not everyone learns best from sole Internet use or auto-didacting. And of course, when you do have a good teacher, that's irreplaceable.

Credentials can be a form of an elitist badge - so if this is the problem, then perhaps the best way to tackle it is to change mindsets, rather than change the whole system. Many good employers seem to be aware of this already.

I sometimes lean towards meritocracy too but it is terribly dangerous to apply Darwinism to education. Education is a right. Everyone NEEDS education, regardless of who they are and their level of natural intelligence. If the system starts favouring a certain type of people, or worse, implement a Darwinist funnel, that would be tragic for the majority of people, and will have a dangerous impact on society overall.
I totally second this. I studied Industrial Engineering in the University (in one of the toughtest universities in Europe). However I didn't go to class most of the times, only to some mandatory ones. What I did instead was:

- Watch youtube lectures/tutorials of the hardest topics. These would be mostly from Latin-American universities or from Indian Universities. Study on my own and pass these subjects.

- Learn programming on my own. This has had huge benefits and that's what I do now for a living (and for fun).

- Create https://makersupv.com/ with a bunch of other high-drive students. We learned and taught so many things.

- Work and go as a Exchange Student to Tokyo University.

It took me a bit longer to finish. I almosy dropped out at some point since it felt a bit pointless but there are advantages of having a degree (applying for a visa for instance).

However, many of my classmates were studying the same degree because it is the one with high chance of getting a job afterwards. I would see them suffer everyday learning things they didn't care about just not to starve to death afterwards in Spain.

From these experiences, I would say that the desire to learn is quite high, however perverse incentives are easily mixed together, which also push people who want to learn away.

While 'should' is going a bit far, I'd argue that that's actually not a bad idea.

For me, and many ex-evangelicals like me, a crucial part in our deconversion involved respectful conversations with other-minded people who provided arguments and didn't assume I was just a dumb religious nutjob.

I'm sure it must've been difficult sometimes for these people to deal with my, in hindsight, rather less than stellar arguments in favor of things like creationism or my logical proofs of God's existence. But they did a good thing, and I wish there was more of that.

A conversation can have much more of an effect than might be immediately apparent. People don't want to lose face; it took me years of sweeping doubt under the rug before I had to admit that my beliefs weren't tenable anymore, and I know many like me. And yet the actual people who played a role in this might never know how much of an impact they made.

Furthermore, even if someone remains staunchly 'ignorant' (which of course happens quite a lot), these respectful conversations are never fully isolated. Whether it is bystanders who maybe do take the arguments to heart, or later conversations between the ignorant person and others, I think every little bit of 'respectful connection' matters, and more than it appears.
Sounds like an abomination.
