We recently checked in streaming support in Beam Python here: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/82f5b5d2ab2ddd3849584f6...

You can take a look at and run the streaming wordcount example in Beam: https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/python/apach...

In addition to the available local execution, Google also offers running Beam pipelines as a managed service in Cloud Dataflow (https://cloud.google.com/dataflow/). Python streaming is in private alpha--contact us at dataflow-python-feedback@google.com if you'd like to try it out.

Note: I work for Google on Apache Beam and Cloud Dataflow.
I disagree.

Let's take the American real estate bubble. According to Wikipedia:

"Total home equity in the United States, which was valued at $13 trillion at its peak in 2006, had dropped to $8.8 trillion by mid-2008 and was still falling in late 2008."

Two years, a 5 trillion dollar haircut.

The Bitcoin Bubble? For an asset that taps into capital markets across the entire globe, $86B is adorably small.

IMO, the bubble is still inflating and there is a long way to go, yet. To me, the real test will be when the next major worldwide recession sets in...
THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL teaches that Muslims "adore the one God, living and subsisting in himself; merciful and all-powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has spoken to humans. They take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even God's inscrutable decrees".

Pope John Paul II has said the fact that Christians and Muslims worship "the One and same God" is a factor that draws the two communities together and lays the basis for love and cooperation between the two communities of believers.

Really? Catholics, Anglicans, most "mainline" Protestant churches are doctrinally copacetic with the notion that jews, muslims and christians alike all worship the god of abraham. This was not always so, of course, but it turns out that ecumenicalism is a pretty smart idea.

To your point about Theseus -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophatic_theology is germane here. In this way of thinking, definitionally we can only agree on what God isn't, not what it is.
Hi, I'm Sylvan Clebsch, the designer of Pony. I'm very much involved in Pony, as are most of the Causality founders in various ways. It's unfortunate that this kind of misinformation keeps being passed around.
The fundamentals are there, your mistake is believing that markets are somehow rational.

You can opt out of Bitcoin as long as it's unpopular as it is now. Zimbabweans also opted out of the Zimbabwe dollar which is why now what you really want there is a US dollar.
I only wish that HN was similarly skeptical about near-term Mars colonization. For a group of largely smart, educated people, too many are willing to suspend disbelief for a sufficiently charismatic person, or out of desperation.
You would need source control access to do that.
What about pre-compiling plans? With server-side prepared statements it would make sense to use entirely different planning time tradeoffs.
The viability of Hyperloop One should not be the focus in the context of this article. That's not what this is about at all.

It's that Hyperloop One needed Richard Branson on board because Elon Musk is creating his own competitor now. This is an incredibly smart move to ensure the survivability of the business from a publicity perspective.

Branson has a history of doing things that people thought impossible or just a bad decision (like creating an airline company). Public perception is the name of the game at this stage, not just feasibility. From that perspective, Hyperloop One has effectively done one of the only strategic moves remaining at this point that ensures it has any chance of persuading a government to select them as a preferred vendor (or continue doing so).
Probably because security is handled by the IT department, and email communication is handled by the much less tech-savvy Communications department.
> if they didnt mention in some 400 word press release.

There's a lot of in depth criticism of hyperloop based on Elon's 57 page paper. It is hardly a case of gut reactions to 400 word press releases.
This kind of Hyperloop criticism is commonplace, but strikes me as intellectually lazy. Did you read Robotbeat's link? Particularly with respect to to the MNLC Bellows Expansion Joint.

> 1) will hold a vacuum

Plain wrong.

> 2) are available in the 3+ meter diameter that the hyperloop requires

This is a simple manufacturing problem, although calling a "problem" seems like an overstatement. Obviously not everything to build a Hyperloop is wholly off the shelf. If there is some reason why this can't be built in larger diameters, then that's certainly not obvious.

> 3) provides the smooth inside surface that the hyperloop requires

The Hyperloop runs on an air cushion. It's a hovercraft. Millimeter-scale bellows ought not to be a problem.

> 4) are economically viable

And here, you could be entirely correct, and is why I'm not yet a Hyperloop true believer. I'm not wholly convinced that this kind of machinery can be economical over its whole life-cycle in its intended service environment. But proving that this is the case requires more than glib, hand-wavy assumptions. You need to run the numbers. I have yet to see any Hyperloop critic do that in a remotely convincing fashion, whereas there are many Hyperloop engineers who most assuredly are running numbers. Maybe those calculations are wrong, but the only way to refute them is with better calculations. Anything else is just dogma.
I agree -- it's too bad that some of these older gems weren't designed to stand the test of time. Cool approach to hybrid emulation.

Also, what are your other two wishes?

> On the other hand, in Python lists, tuples and arrays are fundamental data types and thus len() is defined as a fundamental built-in function. I think it makes sense.

But len() is only a fundamental built-in function for fundamental data types and you can implement it on any class by implementing the method __len__(self).

For those it doesn't make sense any longer to be able to do len(x).

Such big words. In other words: non-sense.

I worked in 6 different companies in 4 different countries across 3 different continents during my 10 years in IT. And no-one gives a shit about delivering bug-free code or good practices.

There is such a thing called peer-pressure, probably you have never heard about it, it works like this: while you are fiddling with your scientific method to test everything properly, the guy sitting right next to you will get the same feature done when by going home and putting in a lot of overtime to make it look like he was working extremely fast and he pulled it off in matter of days and much faster than you.

He will also give a shiny presentation and show off his working demo application while you are still writing tests in your scientific method.

So after a few days your manager comes over to your desk and asks the guy sitting next to you if he could do the same thing, but now in a much more important project, where the deadline is super important. "Of course" - he replies, and he gets into a very interesting project and gets appraisals both verbally and also on his linked-in profile. He also gets a salary raise, since he is such a reliable guy who outperforms everyone. While you are still writing tests and wondering why nobody cares about your scientific method.

I hope it's clearer now.
Thanks for the video reccomendation, super interesting.
Eh, I've heard that before. And yet, no one can seem to put a finger on what, exactly, those fundamentals are that might justify the magnitude of price movement, aside from "someone else will buy it from me for more than what I paid for it"...
Horseshoe politics at its finest; when you’re extreme enough, the people like you are those who manage to be equally extreme. By then the underlying ideologies have converged on the same basic notions of rejecting the mainstream and revolution.

Just don't make your life about feeling a placebo effect, however cool, it should be just a curiosity, not a life purpose. If the meditator wants just to meditate and doesn't care to improve his studies, career or to have a family, 20 years later it would lead to a sad realization. You can't fill your stomach with prana and emptiness won't be your wife. We're living, breathing bodies, not just pure consciousness that is one with everything.

Of course, I immediately went directly to the section on C. I noticed LibreSSL's licenses are described as "semi-free." Not trying to start any kind of flamewar at all, but I am curious what part of the ISC license makes it only semi-free, in your view? Is it just a preference for GPL?

I would like to point out that the raised hands / sig heil was normal American reverence to the flag, and had nothing exceptional to do with the event depicted.

It was an inspiration to the Nazi Germany sig heil just like a few other aspects of American culture.

The ritual around the pledge of allegiance was subsequently changed to simultaneously be distinctive from fascists and communists.

Except for the people who invented the accordion and bellows.
With rockets he was competing with fat and lazy government contractors for the most part. The hyperloop will be competing with already cutthroat airlines, the goddamn personal automobile, and, ...well, a fat and lazy passenger train company.

IMHO he'll be well over 1/10 the cost before he finishes the thousands of land deals he would need for this, even if he somehow got permission to build it over the highway.
RNNoise: Using Deep Learning for Noise Suppression
Right from that article you linked: "A non-self-intersecting continuous curve cannot fill the unit square because that will make the curve a homeomorphism from the unit interval onto the unit square (any continuous bijection from a compact space onto a Hausdorff space is a homeomorphism). But a unit square has no cut-point, and so cannot be homeomorphic to the unit interval, in which all points except the endpoints are cut-points."
These technologies do solve problems in a big way:

- printing press solved the problem of mass distribution of written knowledge and propaganda (By the way, invented by Chinese not Gutenberg but got lost in political turmoil), also paper money

- cars solved a problem of slow transport and having to care for fussy animals

- radio solved the problem of long range communication

- vaccines solved the problem of certain recurring plagues

- likewise sanitation

- running water solved a problem of having to walk long distances especially to irrigate crops (aqueducts, Babylonian invention)

- electricity solved a problem of cheap transport of energy (as opposed to coal for steam boilers)

Consumer focused logistics is much older than both Wal-Mart and Amazon. And does not really solve a problem in as much as is an optimization over older delivery methods.

Yep, all of the above, I think that especially when someone is trying to learn something relatively foreign to them, they don't yet have the ability to navigate a lot of the nuances of focus or content that a more experienced learner in that field can parse more quickly.

It's sort of the same interaction that we have when we ask advice or pointers from others in real life who have done something we want to do. We want to optimize our path by building off their knowledge and understand what to focus on , what not to focus on. I'm trying to bring that interaction to scale, though I hopefully will do a better job as this goes on
LOL, so I read this statement:

but anyone yelling bubble now really needs to consider how tiny 86 billion actually is.

As a statement that the current price means the bears were wrong and that this isn't a bubble.

I probably misunderstood! I'm still working on my first coffee...
>What do you mean by that?

"m" is a method in class A,

"m" is a (different) method in class B.

Each method is tied to only one class. While in CLOS i can do the following:

let's say i have class Vehicle -> subclasses Spaceship and Car
then i have class Person

i can define, for example, the method "drive" two times:

drive (Spaceship, Person)
drive (Car, Person)

Method "drive" is not tied to Spaceship nor Car. The class definition for Spaceship or Car does not include the definition of "drive". "Drive" is a method that is applied over the combination of two objects. "Drive" is not specific to a class, but to a combination of two (or more) classes.

To put it in another way,

drive (Spaceship, Person)

is not¨ "a method of the Spaceship class that takes a Person as an argument". It is: A method that works for the combination of Spaceship AND Person.

Thus if i call the method "drive" and pass it two objects (a,b) , the language will check if there is an implementation of "drive" for the specific combination of class-of "a" and class-of "b" and apply the correct method.

CLOS also allows, for example, doing other interesting stuff, like, for example, if we have method "xxx" and when we call method "xxx" with some objects as arguments, there is more than one method that could apply, i can also configure things such as:

a) all methods are called and the results of all methods are collected in a list
b) the maximum of all results is used
c) the minimum
etc etc (you can define your own behavior)

This is called "method combinations".

There are much more features as well. For example, on your code you can specify the code that should execute whenever any vehicle is driven by a person; also, in separate, the code that should execute when a person drives a Spaceship, and also some piece of code that should be executed after any kind of vehicle is driven. These three methods aren't tied to a particular class definition, and will be called accordingly with just one line of code that calls the method "drive".

The point to all these features is that they allow mapping your problem domain to OOP in an easier way, because the language's limitations do not get in your way. You directly tell the OOP system what do you want it to do; there's less need to do workarounds.

My explanation, of course, is weak compared to the excellent explanation/tutorial here:

The 2017 Segment Open Fellows
It's definitely possible that people complaining about phony apologies are doing a power thing... Hmm, maybe they want to take away power from people who do bad things?

It would be nice if there was some kind of way to signal true remorse, like a way of speaking with our bodies, a "body language".

No one says the behavior doesn't matter - but without an expectation of social cost (apologies, and further criticism and reputation loss when the apology is tone deaf and insincere), why would anyone care about behaving well? Demanding apologies isn't worthless - it's a power thing.
Advertisement is a business cop out for companies that ant come up with a proper business model. Luckily for them, it can be super profitable.

The cost of course is that we are forever bombarded with advertisement that tries to coerce and trick us into buying some shit that we don’t need or want, or we have to see even more misleading or downright fraudulent bullshit and put up with ever-worse clickbait articles and websites. Which causes more and more people to block adverts.

Personally, I’ve never paid for a site or app to remove their adverts, but I often pay for stuff that’s advert-free (but not cost-free) to begin with. I also like to directly back content creators whose content I enjoy through patreon.
Totally. This is why in the more recent gerrymandering thread I was making such a big deal about the efficiency gap rather than geometry for detecting this stuff. Geometry is just a flawed heuristic for a multitude of reasons.

That's why the efficiency gap is so exciting as a measure.
Wouldn't they just put accordion joints on the junction at every pylon? It's not like the tube is going to be built as one gigantic piece. It has to be assembled from parts.
IMHO such planned improvements shouldn't be called hard forks, it's a kind misleading for folks outside cryptocurrencies.
This is probably due to an imminent hard fork. People are buying up bitcoin to get automatic profit when the fork gives them 2 coins. It happened recently with Bitcoin Cash. It will be interesting to see which fork wins out and what the aggregate price will be after the fork.
It's just as easy to create a second hard fork disabling the bomb if some group wants to keep the old rules.
Yeah, a non-self-intersecting map cannot, but OP didn't specify that, only "epimorphic" which certainly can.

Moreover OP's argument specifically proves too much, because space-filling curves (as described in the article) have a range with positive Borel measure.
There are two sort of contradictory views of nazism that I was exposed to as a child.

The first one is the “banality of evil” view. The nazis were nothing special. One of many populist and racist parties. One of many hateful ideologies. The only thing that stands them out is the results. They actually won power through weirdness of politics in that time and place. They actually started a massive war (lucky timing). They actually went on the massive genocidal campaign implied by their rhetoric.

Normal people. Normal (if somewhat distasteful) party. Abnormal actions. It’s kind of related to the “one damn thing after another” theory of history.

The other (more intuitive, and unavoidable) view is the pure evil view. Hitler & Eichman were uniquely evil people. The SS were evil people. They had an evil doctrine, evil symbols, evil political methods. Evil resulted. Watch out for this sort of thing. Know the devil when you see her. Never Again!

Anyway, in 1939 I’m not sure nazism stood out as a unique evil different in some way from domestic far right movements like the kkk. It’s historical perspective that gives it the symbolic meaning that shocks us today.

There are plenty of lispers in the ruby world. "Ruby is an acceptable lisp" is a decently common saying.

While Ruby's OO is not a verbatim copy of CLOS, it is much more versatile than you've described above. The best way to think of it is it's delegation under the hood using a little syntax sugar to resemble classes. It's not multiple dispatch, but methods can be aggregated into modules that can be mixed into classes or objects arbitrarily. Dispatch is dynamic and structural (duck typing). All of this combined with ruby's meta programming features make for an expressive system. It's not restrictive, in fact it runs the risk of the opposite problem, which is people over use the flexibility and write overly magic code that proves difficult to maintain down the road.
Can you get some additional information? Have you tried to ask IBM? Maybe the author of the blog? Seems like I need to download this from GitHub in order to take a look at it right now?

People forget, or don't know, that the founders had experience building lots of democracies of many types in towns, counties, and colonies/states leading up to the American Revolution. These people had more practical direct experience than anyone before or since. It behooves all of us to study what came before, only then can real improvements be made and insight gained.
Branson's missing a d from his almost nominatively-determining name — the guy's got a talent for self publicity over challenging the incumbency, which for the most part he hasn't since launching Virgin Airlines and Megastores, which were both back in the 80s.
