Seeing as humans don't usually taste their coffee before serving, identifying flavour is probably not strictly necessary to the task.

And given that the act of making good-enough coffee isn't a very difficult task (given how readily available and quickly trained "baristas" are), and how mechanical the process is already, im not sure there's anything to suggest it isn't do-able. Its more likely a matter of cost and scale
Yup, and Cunningham's Law also.

You're right about most generalizations about HN; I've noticed they're either false or "too true", as in they apply to much larger sets and therefore say little about HN specifically.
I don't want to get through the hurdle of contacting Big Co. through an automated form when the vending machine has scammed me. It's way easier with a human operator. Ever tried to dial into a call center and waited like 30 minutes after navigating through voice menus in order to talk to an actual human to fix your problem?
i was just saying i personally found type declarations useful as the couple of small groovy codebases i worked on progressed over the short period (maybe a year?) i worked on them. thinking about how i might declare types made me decompose things a bit differently, which made the logic simpler in some places, which allowed me to do things like get rid of tests where i checked the behavior in a case where a method was missing on a function parameter, because now i knew the parameter was over certain type (and thus would have that method).
So this is why I create Nix files for all of my projects and do all builds from within a nix-shell.

You then get to decide to what extent you want to freeze your exact dependencies or leave them abstract to some degree.
You could also have used stunnel, which is the generic program for proxying in/out of TLS connections (might not work with starttls, though).
I go because I enjoy the Chef's style, their ability to express their art through cooking.

Even at many restaurants today the person who's name is above the door as it where rarely touches the food. So as long as that person is the one who is responsible for designing the recipes and menus and plating what difference does it really make if the dish you are served was prepared by a robot or whatever line chef happened to be on duty that day?
They don't own Warby Parker. I bought two pairs of progressive lens glasses from them. Great experience.
On the other hand, the failure rate for those who never try is 100%.
You're assuming that all those repos are still around 5 years later.
Sorry, if I don't share the general enthusiasm... Making it opensource mostly helps DB and malevolent people. DB can get bug fixes for free, and malevolent people can now make fake versions of Autobahn that MITM every orders that the traders make. There is no benefit whatsoever for clients...

Google Maps adds elevation feature for pedestrians, earlier it was only available for cyclists.
Programming, philosophizing, holding a conversation, playing a sport, applying concepts learned in one domain to another, and a common sense understanding of the world (Minsky's big one).

And it's not just 10-20 years of a blank slate being exposed to data. It's evolved brain structures that know how to learn those skills. That's why a young human child quickly surpasses the learning abilities of chimpanzee.

It doesn't add any value, compared to Chrome and does a very bad job at selling itself.

Find anything instantly -> Chrome does this already.

Effortless tab management -> Someone's favorite plugin gone native, I don't need or want this. Does CERTAINLY not belong in a raw browser.

Built-in ad blocking -> A very little bit useful. Does not belong in a raw browser though.

Fast and efficient -> Dubious claim. How did you measure it?

Open-Source software -> I don't care.
Things like this surprise me. Marijuana has never struck me as something to take for pain. In my experience it heightens sensations and increases paranoia while stimulating appetite. I don't see that as especially useful for treating something like tooth pain. Are these patients just getting super baked to the point of comatose?
Thanks for pointing this out. Indeed, it seems that Mr. Klein rediscovered Cunningham's Law without noticing.
yes, fully agree, and it is only the tip of the iceberg of a much larger number of anti-selling marketing sites that use text more like a texture to paint on top of positive imagery, than to convey any kind of coherent message about the product.

One alternative is to replace the cable with a rigid tube, and then have living quarters at both ends. The tube is big enough for an astronaut to pass through. Sort of a one spoke section of a spoked wheel.
Heh...I had a similar take. My reaction on reading the title: "That's a dumb decision, why didn't they go with MLB Advanced Media?"

Then I read the article and found out they've just changed their name. Yawn...I guess "Disney makes smart, somewhat obvious decision" doesn't have the same clickbait appeal.
I'm guessing you mean Phoenix where you wrote Elixir. But yeah, I immediately thought of these frameworks and how fast you can get from zero to CRUD API with them. Phoenix definitely felt 90% automated, Django and DRF had some extra glue-work last time I set them up. Not sure about now.

Anyone tried API Star by Tom Christie? Seems pretty interesting and relevant: https://github.com/encode/apistar
Wix ad plays atleast 5 times a day on youtube. For all that marketing - they have such bad reviews here..

Same question here. I am still reading this book but the way the author combines the concepts with the practices and the contents are structured really inspire me to keep reading. (Usually I gave up easily)
Hah, I wonder how many times that's been pulled off. It reminded me of something in Arrested Development:

Michael: And you finished off the whole bottle?

Lindsay Funke: I had to, it's vodka. It goes bad once it's opened.

Michael: I think that's another of mom's fibs, like "I'll sacrifice anything for my children".
Keep in mind that the transition wont be from black to white or visa versa.. We're talking about a gradual change over a decade and a half a least. In the meantime there will be an uptake in jobs that support this type of automation.. physically building the thing, building the digital experience(Design, UX, Backend architecture, process, branding) as well as ancillary jobs like IT support, installation, IT, legal, union, whatever.

It will be less drastic than people anticipate, as always with automation/ai. Different jobs will become more available and (hopefully) the value of those jobs will increase. Manual/tedious jobs that used to be considered low-brow will hopefully become "artisanal" or appreciated, and fill the gap.

A butcher used to be a respectable profession that would earn an honest days living. Maybe now, instead of a butcher working for his employer (with a cashier, accountant, manager, sales person), they will operate as their own employer. Other micro-focused based companies will handle the other needs for a fraction of the cost.

In the end, efficiency prevails with capitalism and tech in general.. Having a population with a low work force seems both inefficient and impractical. Life will find a way...
Yeah, it's all about framing. Subconsciously, I want titles and comments to reflect the world as I see it. I'll comment if I feel that the title is overly generous, or overly critical.
Of course, Create React App is the best place to start, and I totally agree with your points. I never said learning these tools are the basics. But if you need to setup a bigger project CRA doesn't cut it by default.

For example, it is missing HMR and CSS preprocessing (or postporcessing) which are must have on a larger scale. Again, you can eject and start from there, but in that case it will be much easier if you understand these tools.

Thank you for the constructive feedback!
The truth is that the construction of CRUD web UIs _is_ 90% automated.

The web and storage frameworks do the vast majority of the heavy lifting - the application code is really just simple wiring and validation.

The trouble is that (in my experience, at least) many web shops and web developers enormously overcomplicate that application code; shoehorning enterprise "layering" into simple components, creating poor - and often unnecessary - abstraction. These things lead to grossly over-engineered solutions with bloated code and control flow flying all over the place.

So the reality is that what can be automated largely is already - we are just, by and large, pretty bad at doing the bit that isn't.
That kind of behaviour really should bring the anti-trust regulators knocking on your door sharpish. Anyone know why it didn't happen?
I used to walk around other countries bragging about German online banking, given that we have a standard that has been iterated upon (HBCI/FinTS) over decades and you can pretty use any online banking software with any bank.

A few years have passed since then and most germans banks are still the same. Meanwhile you get instant wire transfers in a few countries.

When I think Deutsche Bank and innovation, I think of my phone calls with Deutsche Bank about disappearing money and them telling me that I shouldn't be surprised if the online banking doesn't actually reflect my real balance and 3 day same country wire transfers. A friend of mine has a consulting company that claims that theyre trying to change their internal structures though.

I think of shitty support and paper faxes because of "security". The latter might actually be a prevalent problem in german society though.

I work in Gvt. Healthcare. They've been spending 1 year trying to define an API for activating the new healthcare smartcards. It has 3 API calls, it's not done yet, and it's SOAP only. And then the leadership has been trying to get government support to mandate by law the forced usage of their crappy APIs.

Germany is a digital dinosaur, no matter how much these old tycoons come to the bay area with their newly appointed chief of innovations for a week they won't get it, because they never had to compete on anything to get it.

User experience is a completely foreign concept to them.
Yes this is all true, but the real reason glasses cost so much is because people buy vision, not glasses. And people value vision extremely high. I started a glasses company and when I'd tell people their $900 glasses cost the eye doctor less than $100, they would give me this blank stare like "so what? I can see."

That is a very narrow understanding of the word though. Reification is best shown by the automated theorem progress which given constraints reify the program to verify these properties. (Especially when nested, such as proof of correctness by refinement)
Why do you see an ophthalmologist and not an optometrist?
"those responsible for current policy, and those that vote for them, want to return to those times."

I bet those responsible all have big, nice houses in beautiful places where factories and mines and far far away and big coal/gas/oil companies help them to keep it this way. Those who vote for such policies are desperate (or stupid) enough to believe that this "will bring back jobs".
A close friend have used CBD for about a year to help him with prostate cancer, he says that without it he would probably have killed himself due to the stress of not being able to handle a job, have no money and being sick at the same time. This is a person that worked at both SAAB and Volvo as a project lead for many years so being beaten down from such a high horse by life take such a mean twist means a drastic change to your character. So I'm glad that CBD exists or I'm quite sure this man, my best friend, wouldn't.

What matters is if there is anything to transition to.

A strong argument is made that the options for new jobs are rapidly diminishing, as automation eliminates jobs by skill level, while at the same time the economy is not giving people time to retrain (people most imperilled by automation are usually those living paycheck-to-paycheck). Those two things were not simultaneously true in the past.
The issue is the THC vs CBD content that’s being provided. Most of the medical/medicinal aspects are focused on strains with more CBD while recreational emphasizes THC
The point of the Newton time travel story was that Newton would have been so amazed at the iPhone's capabilities, that he might have imagined it doing things that it cannot do, such as transmute lead into gold. Newton would have failed to understand the limitations of smart phones.

Similarly, when we imagine future AI, we are failing to understand what it's limitations might be. And thus you get notions of god-like superhuman AIs.
Allow me: this salad tastes bland and tired and needs a strong dressing to make it palatable.

The veggies are pre cut - so they spend even longer dying and drying than freshly prepared.

There will be more waste - those pre-cut veggies won't last as long.

The lack of prosperity is due to only top management receiving compensation in stock. What if legislation existed that mandated some percent of an employees pay must (if said employee chooses that is) be in the form of stock for publicly traded employers?

I understand that it's still peanuts compared to the structural imbalances at play here. More of a first step.
The way this is going to work, to use McDonald's as an example, is that instead of having 40-50 total people operating a normal franchise location across 2 or 3 shifts, you're going to have 15-20.

The cashiers are gone. The fry cook is gone. The drive-thru order taker is gone. The cooks are gone.

You'll still have a preparer that will probably also do running (they'll bag the multiple, separate items up and take them to the front). You'll have a shift manager that will help with a bit of everything (eg if a customer has a problem with the order kiosk or payment). You'll still have a human cleaning the building and parking lot, taking out trash. There will also obviously be people routinely involved in machine maintenance, installation, etc.

There will be some complication with condiments and food layering. There will probably be a position for food ammo reloader, that keeps the machines loaded with whatever that machine cooks / prepares.

It would be possible to get rid of the bagger/runner, but it'd probably be cost prohibitive and needlessly complex to assemble the various robots on a line that could also bag properly.

At its best, eventually, this system will produce more food (1.5x to 4x I'd guess), at a lower per customer cost, with superior food safety (including hygiene). Then it's a question of how much of that gain gets competed away (benefiting customers) and how much goes into the pocket of the owners.

Starbucks will be similar. They won't get rid of all their humans, they'll reduce their number significantly.

It's likely to be a decades long, piece by piece, transition. The early results won't be spectacular for either customers or franchise owners, it'll take many years of gradual improvement.
Lets say the vending machine costs $2,000 a year including maintenance and everything. That means there can't be more than $2,000 worth of human labor involved in it, neither in production or maintenance. That's an order of magnitude less labor involved than hiring a person. If it didn't save labor, there'd be no economic advantage to it after all.

On top of that, the jobs it does require are skilled. Engineers to design it, mechanics to repair it. They aren't jobs like a barista that you can get without any experience or education. Even the work of assembling it can be outsourced to some third world country, or automated itself.
That's a highly insulting question. The Zcash guys are working together with JP Morgan. Maybe you should take a look at the genesis block of bitcoin, in case you don't know what it is about.

Microsoft finally admits Windows Phone is dead
Burroughs B5000 was written with zero lines of Assembly in 1961 with ESPOL, followed by NEWP, both Algol 60 variants with intrinsics.

Xerox PARC used Mesa with microcoded CPUs, after using BCPL initially.

IBM used PL/8 for their RISC OS and compiler research.

OS/400 was written in PL/M.

There are plenty of other examples, UNIX was not the only one to be written in an high level language, regardless of what C devs advocate.
One of their competitors, Dresdner Bank, did something similar in 2001 when the open sourced their messaging middleware code as Openadapter. https://github.com/openadaptor/openadaptor
It's pretty good and I actually used it at a commodity trader, but this kind of integration is pretty niche and while Openadapter is still around it never caught on in a big way.
I expect that this will be similar - hardly anybody else will have the same mix of systems to connect to and it's unlikely to have a very big impact.
AIM Is Logging Off for Good
His argument is that people predicting future superhuman intelligence are failing to imagine what sort of limitations future AI might have. Every technology we've invented has very real limitations. A smart phone would have astounded Newton, but it still doesn't transmute lead into gold. And smart phones exist within a web of similar technologies, which future AI will also exist in.

Brooks is challenging the notion of superhuman AI eating the world without anything limiting it.

Our government has invested a lot more into broadband infrastructure than Australia has. We rolled out FTTN (Fibre to the Node) for improved ADSL/VDSL years ago, and now FTTH is deployed in a lot of places so far. Australia proposed FTTH, then rolled back on that. So yes, we're generally much better for Internet than Australia.

Nope, 100% unlimited. Metered connections were a thing here 5 years ago, nowdays you generally get 80GB or so to start with and can upgrade to unlimited for a little extra. I pay $129 NZD ($91 USD~) per month for my unlimited almost-gigabit connection which is the most expensive residential tier available, and I can pick from any number of ISPs (there's like 5 major ones and plenty of tiny players) as the infrastructure is shared, unlike what you see in the U.S. with the cable companies.
And do you freeze the nixpkgs version as well?
Tying funding to it makes them much more acute though. Essentially forcing you to play by these rules in order to live.

Without being forced like this, many deadbeat fake journals would die and places like arxiv would flourish.
This sort of thing no longer makes sense.

It used to, back in the days when every cycle counted.

Not today, more important is maintainability of the source code, because compiled C is fast enough.

Menuetos may be fast, but it also does less - for those who would compare to current OS's - it's not an apples versus apples comparison, no pun intended.
Except that raising taxes on those with high incomes doesn't actually increase tax revenue and in fact can lead to it decreasing due to their income being diverted to non-taxable forms and increased use of tax loopholes. That's not a theory, it's a lesson that's been learned in practice time and time again.
> This is why it may be worth committing your dependency's sources, despite "best practices" dictating otherwise.

Maybe I'm not a hip young web developer but I've always considered "best practice" to be keeping the currently-in-use version of all of your product's dependencies in a repo (either your main one or a separate 'dependencies' repo). If you update the dependency, you test against the new version and check it in if successful.

The idea of letting your build process depend on a third-party library that's downloaded ad-hoc (and may or may not be trustworthy) is terrifying.
One of the issues that isn’t obvious is the difficulty in actually doing any reported MMJ study, let alone one that was done by respected institutions. While one can argue about the significance of the small sample size, it’s amazing that there’s an actual reportable group

There are definitely people out there who spend large sums of money on lottery tickets or scratch cards they probably shouldn't be buying and consider it their retirement plan. Many of them have no other viable path to an actual retirement, many just don't know any better. But they do exist.
Seems that most frame design comes from European, so it probably has alot to do with pride.
Yes, you will have a CAM, but the CAM for a PLB would likely be more expensive than a TLB, right? And today's TLBs are only a few hundred entries for the first level. The PLB would seem to necessitate many cycles for a load, longer cycle times, or a high power CAM. Even if you could make address queries quickly by replicating ranges based on some graularity, invalidating the PLB becomes expensive on a grant revocation.

I understand that Itanium was forced into a low frequency, high power L1 cache by being at a similar in order statically scheduled design point, where you need loads to be fast in order for a compiler to be able to come up with a reasonable static schedule. Unless there's some really nice idea out there that's radically different from TLBs as they are today, I bet PLBs will be the major limiter of performance for general purpose code.
Not the guy you asked, but here the speeds are set by the fibre infrastructure holders, not the ISP. So on residential connections the fastest you'll get is 900/500. I pay $129 NZD (~335 PLN). Not symmetrical, but damn impressive nonetheless.
They would just game it then and underinvest on peering (similar to what happened in the netflix/Comcast scenario). What good is 1gbit guaranteed to your ISP if the entire ISP only has 10mbps to the rest of the world?
