Aye, that's because being written in Python, C or Go is - in my eyes - a strike against the project in an absolute sense, because it will be more buggy and difficult to maintain due to lacking the functional-programming abstractions and powerful static-type system of a good ML descendant such as Rust or OCaml. (Or of Haskell, but it tends to lack the practicality of the ML family.)

So of course one does not trumpet that one's project is written in Python, C or Go.

n.b. I said "absolute sense" because all of this this is, of course, inapplicable when searching for libraries specifically for a language such as Python, C, or Go.

Thanks. Curious, because this comes up on HN now and then: Do you make your research public? I understand this might not just be in your hands though.
Who do you believe is at fault for the things you point out?
Tests with transactions works fine in rails/rspec.
Resistance training is certainly still possible, but you still lose the normal ambient resistance you get on earth just from walking around and holding your limbs in place against gravity. The difference between low-gravity and someone on Earth who doesn’t exercise much is probably much larger than the difference between a non-exercising Earthling and an Earthling who exercises.

Besides, that doesn’t really work for the other physiological effects of low gravity, like the heart and circulation issues mentioned in the article.

Nuh uh.

About 13% of the world's adults -- or about 630 million people -- say they would like to leave their country and move somewhere else permanently. For roughly 138 million people, that somewhere else would be the U.S. -- the No. 1 desired destination for potential migrants.

The U.K. is a distant second at ~40M.[1]

Whoops, good point. In the long run I think Una's a good candidate for being installed at the systems level, because you really want to install unzip, etc. along with it.

EDIT: The idea being that if you install it with your system package manager it can have unzip etc. as dependencies so that's taken care of automatically.

Wait, (s)he’s arguing that the code isn’t imperative enough, but the punchline is they don’t like having to type session.run? I don’t understand their vendetta against the graph, which is a powerful abstraction that lets you choose different backend, and let’s tensorboard show you an awesome view of your computation. Session.run isn’t hard to type and it takes at most a few days to grok that everything is lazily evaluated.

Would (s)he like eager apis? Does (s)he want better c++ apis? Or does the author just want to hate on tensorflow because it’s been hyped so much?
Either number is pretty solid considering the number who voted for him!

Sure, but what other President has favored basic income schemes?

And sure, Nixon hated blacks and hippies. And Mexicans. And the War on Drugs has indeed been a disaster. But, I gotta ask, what President since has backed off substantially on the War on Drugs? Not Carter, as I recall. Or Reagan or Bush Sr. Or even Clinton. And for sure, not Bush Jr. Maybe Obama, to the extent of relaxing federal enforcement re marijuana in states that had legalized.

Though this obviously isn’t the kind of thing that will appeal to the average HN reader, Wix does appear to be having success in the realm. How many of us have a friend or three that wants to bootstrap a small business but can’t afford proper web design/dev skills and are smart enough to figure something like this out? You might argue to them “learn how to code and do it properly”, but there is a group of people that are a large subset of the above group of which no matter how you try to educate will have some sort of allergy to writing actual code. This product is for them.

Side anecdote, in college nearly 10 years ago I had an entrepreneurship professor that singled out Wix as one to watch for a good success story. I guess he was right on that bet.
I once ported a site designed in wix to plain html/css for a friend. Advice from the bottom of my heart: Wash your brain with soap after looking at the markup wix generates. Sandblasting might also be an option.
There's a new big trend in tools for enterprize(and a bit of consumer) web dev, called low-code/no-code. those tools offer that level of automation, plus much lower barriers to implementation(mostly via visual interfaces), and it seems (but i may be wrong), that they can be used to built complex systems(often by software guys, complexity reduction and order is still important).

But those are almost never mentioned in hacker news, which may say something about our community more than it says something about the possibility of building such tools.
They should force the cable companies to automatically discount the monthly cost if, say, 30%+ of the actual use falls more than, say, 10% below the advertised speed.

That property does exist and it's called Turing completeness.

There have been countless attempts (http://thedailywtf.com/articles/The-Mythical-Business-Layer , http://thedailywtf.com/articles/the-inner-json-effect , http://thedailywtf.com/articles/The_Enterprise_Rules_Engine to name but a few) at trying to reimplement a fully-fledged programming language in XML / XSLT, JSON or whatnot. Ultimately, all of these attempts seem to end up being more complex and unwieldy than the tools they were intended to replace.

The OP calls for a tool that allows you to automate most of the cumbersome work involved in building web UIs. Perhaps programming languages just are the closest abstraction that still allows for a sufficiently large degree of freedom when it comes to accommodating specific requirements.

After all modern programming languages and frameworks already automate most of that really arduous work. They allow us to define data-driven applications in concise terms that for the most part already resemble a specification written in natural language.

More accessible languages that more readily provide clear feedback (think of Bret Victor's work for example) could be a way forward.

You could just use bsdtar from libarchive, which handles all the compression and archive formats automatically without additional tools.

GNU tar is so limited, but unfortunately still the default on most systems.
It seems to me the reason for insisting on a verbose declaritivization of everything is obvious: it guarantees you can build run/traintime environments which scale your model automatically.

Google’s mindset isn’t “train this model to multiply by three”. It’s “train this model on a 1% sample of search traffic over the last year.” That’s reflected in the design choices of tensorflow.
...and that's why you are using Keras instead.

Key word there: MOSTLY. The trick that's never been really figured out is how to make adding the bits that can't be generated on top without making a brittle mess.

> Hermits forming an intentional community still seems too contradictory to make sense to me.

In Christianity you have liturgical events which are meant to be communal, for example, communion must be done with multiple people present. Not to mention certain holidays. That's why hermits, although they live on the outskirts of society and are solitary, generally keep a minimal amount of contact with others.

> What are the recorded origins of monasticism? The Ancient Greeks formed intentional communities around philosophies/religion I think but I doubt they were the first?

Depends on whether or not you consider mythological religious figures, and some religions which didn't commit things to writing. But some of the earlier communities would be Greek yes, and also Indian monastics within the sramanic movements (Buddhism/Jainism). There's also semi-historical figures in Chinese Daoist mythology who lived as hermits/monastics, druids and shamans in some religions were reclusive and likely had a practice which resembled monasticism, etc...

Within Christianity it of course started with the Desert Fathers who were emulating St. John the Baptist as well as applying some of Jesus' exhortations literally.

Any tips for migrating off of gmail? Have over 40 accounts tied to it
Just curious to see if I'm missing some obvious shortcut to moving off of gmail.

Decided on fastmail after some research, but the task is starting to look daunting. I've counted 40 accounts so far and I imagine there are at least 5-10 more minimum.

Any ideas? Or do I just have to go through the pain of doing each one, one by one?

Lastly, any best recommended practices for letting contacts know? Current plan is to forward emails to fastmail and just start replying with my new email address and overtime have people's contacts update automatically.
The problem isn't a lack of a guarantee. The problem is _never_ getting the service as advertised.

If I buy a 50 Mbps plan, and I get 50 Mbps 60% of the time and between 20-30 Mbps 40% of the time, I could live with that.

My problem is that has never been my experience with major cable providers.

I pay for a 50 Mbps plan and get 20-30 Mbps 50% of the time and 10-20 Mbps 50% of the time. That's not simply a lack of a guarantee. That's a complete failure to provide the service that was advertised.
You can also add the --back option as an alias, so you don't need to type it in every time on systems where that is important. You could also use an environment variable to modify the behavior.

The GNU team did this when they added or changed behavior to the original tools. A lot of them have flags like -posix and such which give them a strict set of behaviors.
The whole engine and back wheel setup reminds me of an outboard motor on a boat for some reason.

Similarly the linear gears thing reminds me of a motorcycle, something that makes sense given that the engine is a two stroke.

Seem to me like much of the car is a minimalist "make do" kind of thing. Like the way the windows are raised and lowered, or how the door is stopped from opening too wide by a simple chain.

So likely what we are looking at is a car made out of leftover parts from war time equipment. The back end of a motorcycle, the body plates of a aircraft, an so on.

And heh, feeding "ilo motorcycle" into ddg brings up a certain wikipedia article.

Whonix is great but the fact you need two servers and how the set up is more involved than just installing Tor and setting up a Hidden Service are the most common reasons why most takes the easy but less secure route.

You're asking several different questions under a general umbrella which have a lot of specific and long-winded answers, but to be succinct about it: business want incredible amount of customization in all different ways, and customization is resistant to automation and patterns. Successful frameworks straddle a good balance, which is why they have staying power.

I think if you push your question to the extreme, we can ask why Literate Programming never took hold. Wouldn't it be vastly more cost effective for businesses to completely commoditize the entire IT department with just a specific kind of technical writer who could pass along these specs to a service that would compile the application as written? Competitive technology simply isn't that predictable and circumscribed in capability.

For non-execs, economy is pretty much the standard at most organizations these days. Not necessarily some "steerage minus" deal but definitely not business unless you can get upgraded on your own. I do travel enough to get a slightly better version of economy but I don't get many upgrades to full business.
I dealt with this quite a bit and recently consulted for a friend wanting to do something similar.

The issue is you think you can drag and drop data fields and be all set. But to deliver a halfway decent UI, you need custom bits and pieces here and there. From layout, to extra JS, to new "picker" types for some fields, and on and on.

When I've looked at it, the issue is either the forms toolkit gets stupidly complex or doesn't have a good customizability story, and in frustration you throw away the toolkit and just do it by hand.

There's room to do something better, so long the customization is really easy and trivial to add one-offs.
An appropriate quote: "If you can't intelligently argue for both sides of an issue, you don't understand the issue well enough to argue for either."

There are many people for whom the declarative paradigm is a huge plus. I would say there are at least 2 major approaches in running fast neural networks: 1. Figure out the common big components and make fast versions of those. 2. Figure out the common small components and how to make those run fast together.

Different libraries have different strengths and weaknesses that match the abstraction level that they work at. For example, Caffe is the canonical example of approach 1, which makes writing new kinds of layers much harder than with other libraries, but makes connecting those layers quite easy as well as enabling new techniques that work layer-wise (such as new kinds of initialization). Approach 2 (TensorFlow's approach) introduces a lot of complexity, but it allows for different kinds of research. For example, because how you combine the low-level operations is decoupled from how those things are optimized together, you can more easily create efficient versions of new layers without resorting to native code.

Hi, thanks very much! Yes, I really liked DocRaptor's sign-up page and pricing.

FetchPDF looks great! Best of luck to you as well!
You can do even better than that with something read-mostly like Wikipedia.

Have a bunch of caches (or a cache hierarchy) which request pages on first use and then cache them indefinitely. Then when a page actually changes, you push notify all the caches to immediately evict that page.

> while the grandparent started with "As a physicist", as if this conveys the consensus among physicists, they forgot to mention that many physicists (including celebrated physicists) are indeed very interested in the meaning and the philosophy behind physics concepts

I wasn't trying to convey any "consensus" among physicists, merely make abundantly clear that the specific article in question does not appear to contain any discernible novel scientific or philosophical content. You're perfectly right in saying that plenty of great physicists are indeed interested in the philosophy of science (though many more are not), and that's fine. This article and the ideas it represents aren't a part of that.
Why? You're working. You may well be traveling on your own time. I travel within guidelines but that doesn't mean traveling in the cheapest possible way even if it's more painful than it has to be.

I think even with edge-cases, the question remains valid why you can't automate the common cases.

I wonder how often it's actually non-standard requirements and how often it's a mix of processes and poor communication/changing requirements.

I think in many projects, in hindsight it's perfectly obvious it is just a standard CRUD app - but it might need a few iterations to get the understanding of all stakeholders to that point...

Also, seems to me that such tools clash with the organisational process of how webapps are created today: It almost seems to be required that a web app has some kind of custom-written "business layer" in between, even if that business layer doesn't do anything than pass requests around.
Have you looked at the APIs for any of these libraries? I think there is a perception that these are all for NN only because NN is the hot topic that everyone is jumping on noe; but tf for example is a general matrix manipulation library with a bunch of amazing, extra NN stuff shipped alongside it.
I've asked myself that many times before and I'd say it's because it's not an easy task and often you need to get things done to meet deadlines, instead of developing a general solution, that although could save time in the future, might not help much in the short run.

Having said that, Django admin is the best example of that. I'm a huge fan of it and tend to use it on every project that fits a crud workflow, mainly business apps.

To give an idea of how much work goes into building something like that, it took 5 devs an year to build its first version, not to mention add new features and improve it.

Collectively we (the voters) all are. Too many have been easy targets. We've (as an aggregate) allowed our selves to be easily swayed and frothed in to frenzies instead of taking a solid moment to calmly and rationally reflect on the actual history of the decision makers we're electing.

My biggest issue is that I don't actually see a path for getting out of this pit we're in. "Regulatory capture" has everyone involved in politics addicted to money like those addicted to pain pills and the illegal drugs they are forced to turn to after the legitimate prescriptions expire.
