6:47 minutes to sort 2k items.

We've come a long way. Python isn't even the fastest of languages

$ time python3.6 -c "import random; l = random.choices(range(1_000_000), k=2_000); l.sort()"

... and this also takes into account creating the 2k random ints.
It's interesting that Symantec claims to be denying governments the ability to review code for the safety of their end-users, but won't allow those same end-users the ability to review the code for themselves.
Nope. It is still contemptuous towards me personally and self serving. It is all about trying to make you look good at my expense.

I'm going to take a guess and say that this is running a forked version of Android. Oculus has a Gear VR store [1] and it only makes sense to leverage the existing software catalog than start from scratch.

Yeah, that struck me as odd too. Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't expect private developers to build that much excess inventory on spec with no expectation of being able to sell quickly.
Something like an "Incognito Mode" would be a good idea for Spotify and similar services.
My only experience so far is Google Cardboard with an iPhone ... would you expect an Oculus Go to be any better than this?

(I know iPhone screens aren't high-DPI enough for VR, but I doubt a screen in a $200 product would be much better, and the processor/GPU would surely be inferior? I'd really like to get into VR at a decent price point, but I just can't see how this works.)
I wrote a script to log in to my brokerage account nightly and check for new purchases or dividend payments, log all of that to a database, and provide an interface allowing me to see all kinds of statistical information about my investments. I love getting the cron email in the morning saying I got a dividend payment from a stock :)

It's pretty sad when my friend tells me his doctor diagnosed him with a lack of something in his brain where only way to go is anti depressants for the rest of his life. He didn't even suggest aerobic exercise or diet, nope straight to prescription drugs. I'm not a doctor but based on my experience with depression and health, lifeStyle is so much more important than drugs no matter which disease you have or don't have

3 Top Tips for Picking the Right Web Hosting Service for Your Needs
Then why not write government cheque for all millennials to buy their own property so they don’t have to rent? Would you support that?

Where do you stop? Should a family of four (two young children) that lives in a 1 bedroom apartment in city be given a 2 bedroom apartment by the city government? They obviously need it.

I agree with socialised healthcare and education. First one because health is not some thing you choose but is affected heavily by genetic lottery (yes unhealthy lifestyle is a problem but it’s hard to objectively quantify) and second one because it means levelling of the opportunity field for young people not born to wealthy parents (again this is related to lottery of birth, what kind of family you are born into).

But housing is very different from healthcare and education.
At this time on-site only but I will gladly take your CV if that changes.

It's crazy, isn't it? Cutting gluten has become somewhat of a meme, but a meme repeated enough times must have some kind of truth to it.

I've self diagnosed myself to a combination of depression/cyclothymia/bipolar disorder. Basically, I've been working at 50% potential, on a good day, for the past 10 years.

Interested in the science behind ketogenic diets, I've tried to cut all grains and processed food for many month-long stretches, and I've always noticed my brain being sharper, and moving farther and farther away from the "black dog". But eventually I get back in the trap and it's extremely hard to pull myself up again — impossibly hard cutting grains with Italian friends and family.

Keto probably isn't the solution, but I'm more and more convinced the key lies in our gut, not in our brain chemistry.

EDIT: depression is a common modern "disease", and in my ignorant opinion, I'm convinced there's two types of depression:

You might be depressed if your life is in the shitter, and there's no sane way of getting out of it. Think bad marriage or crippling loneliness.

You might also be depressed because your chemistry isn't optimal, because of what you eat or bad health.

I believe most modern depression is of the latter type, and in both cases medication treats the symptoms, not the actual cause. We need to do more work on this.

Again, this is my personal opinion, and I might be talking out of my arse.
People who can just sleep, diet and exercise and the depression simply goes away, that's not real major depression. I really hate how people spread this stuff so condescendingly. No, it might have worked for you, but it does not work for millions of people who suffer from it.
Cool script. Do you have it on github ?
I did something super similar: In order to graduate on time I had to take an accelerated Spanish course (hard requirement despite years of Spanish in grade school and high school). Problem: The class had a pre-requisite that I hadn't taken yet. Solution: The Uni's registration system allowed for a 4 digit numeric code to be entered to bypass registration restrictions. I wrote a script to brute force that code, registered successfully and graduated on time. Muy bueno! :)

Edit: spelling
Damn am I so old school that I prefer real voice (and believe me, Skype over Hotel networks is awful (and floss alternatives are no better), but that's better than nothing). Automating that part of my life seems so soulless...

My Foolproof Guide To Managing Your Discover Weekly Playlist:

- Only listen to the DW playlist once through. Find the songs you even remotely like, put them in a new playlist. Listen to that playlist instead (I call these playlists "DW-{datestamp}").

- Find your favorite songs in the playlist, explore that artist/album. Even if you don't think you'd like the other stuff listening to more of an artist seems to help suggestion variety.

- Don't let your listening for the week be dominated by a good Discover Weekly playlist... every time I do this my next 2-3 weeks are total crap. If you must repeat the same songs over and over, move them to a new playlist.

- Try to mix up genres as much as possible... listening to different genres that aren't your favorite often leads to Spotify recommending off the wall artists in the genres that are your favorite.

- Keep a playlist of your most frequently listened songs, regardless of genre, artist, etc. Whenever you want to listen to one of favorites listen from that playlist, instead of going to their artist page. For some reason this seems to have a large effect on my recommendations.

Most of these suggestions are due to personal experience and two theories:

1) Grouping/organization/total play count of playlists influences recommendations much more than people think

2) It's very easy for Spotify to get into positive feedback loops, forcing variety and constantly curating/making new playlists expands your horizons and keeps the recommendation engine from repeating songs/artists too much.

There seems to be a common misconception, even among programmers who should know better, that Spotify will just instantly and always offer you fresh, undiscovered, music you like on demand... which isn't how these systems work. It definitely makes it easier to find new music, and is a valuable tool in finding new artists or under marketed artists, but you're still going to need to put in a modicum of work curating your own experience to get the most out of the discover playlists.

Just because a decision is forced by scale doesn't necessarily mean it's bad for small scale. For example, Git was created for the Linux kernel project and is designed to be performant in scale, but it's still a good decision to use it when you're a single developer.

(Also, why bash ThinkPads? They're great laptops)
Yup same here. Clinical depression in high school, meds, therapy, suicide watch the whole shebang. Fun times, can’t remember two years of my life.

So far the only thing that’s actually worked has been staying busy/productive/creative, good nutrition, exercise etc.

Everyone always tells me I’m an insensitive dick when i suggest getting off their ass and doing stuff to treat their depression. But fuck it, that shit works. Yes it’s hard to get started and your depression makes it even harder, but that is literally irrelevant, you gotta do it anyway.

And yes dear downvoters, I will never stop saying this: Changing your lifestyle to treat depression works. If enduring your downvotes helps me get the message to at least 1 person, worth it.

And to the common criticism that "Oh you just had teenage depression that doesn't count". The scars all over my body that I get to look at for the rest of my life disagree with your "just".
Daydream/Gear VR experiences are significantly better than cardboard. The Oculus Go is likely running a forked version of Android so that they can leverage their existing Gear VR catalog:

Yeah, Wagtail documentation is a bit scattered. That's probably one of the larger issues I've run into when using it.

Overall, I like it though. As much as it seems like a deviation from Django patterns, I actually found it easier to integrate Wagtail into existing Django projects than others like django-cms. I find that I typically end up with a "CMS" part of the app that exists fairly independently from the rest. Making foreign-key references to models outside Wagtail isn't too hard, and it integrates fine with the main site templates. Otherwise, I find that I don't often need to do much interaction between the Wagtail parts and other parts (which would be hard). I haven't really done a lot of complicated things with Wagtail though.
I'd say it counts.

My favorite filter is anything containing "unsubscribe" goes to a "Mailers" folder never to be seen.

I don't understand how people can deal with having unread emails in their inbox all the time.
As someone who doesn't have access to Spotify, I think Youtube should put more effort into recommendations. They have the same tendency to lock onto something too hard.
Please, don't equate being sad with being depressed, sadness is a normal part of the life, feeling miserable every waking moment is not.

That is FUD and also a lie. You can still distribute your extensions on whatever site you want, you just need to sign them on AMO.

There are many possibilities, but I have no idea what happened here: Troll farms and astroturfing could have an effect, but I don't know who would be motivated to act on this thread. I doubt the Russians care, though simply creating dissension is part of their (and others') strategy. The white supremacist movement certainly would oppose white people supporting PR, and they are active on HN.

Again, I have no idea. My point is, there is much more than bots out there. HN needs to find a solution; what it does now isn't working well enough and IMHO empowers the trolls. That's not a criticism; nobody has solved it yet but HN is the right place to take on the big problem and solve it.
What your friend deserves is evidence based treatment. For depression that's a talking therapy (CBT), maybe combined with meds.

The evidence for exercise as a treatment for depression is poor.

http://www.cochrane.org/CD004366/DEPRESSN_exercise-for-depre...

> Exercise is moderately more effective than no therapy for reducing symptoms of depression.

> Exercise is no more effective than antidepressants for reducing symptoms of depression, although this conclusion is based on a small number of studies.

> Exercise is no more effective than psychological therapies for reducing symptoms of depression, although this conclusion is based on small number of studies.

> The reviewers also note that when only high-quality studies were included, the difference between exercise and no therapy is less conclusive.

> Attendance rates for exercise treatments ranged from 50% to 100%.

> The evidence about whether exercise for depression improves quality of life is inconclusive.

this line, and the last line, are important:

> The reviewers also note that when only high-quality studies were included, the difference between exercise and no therapy is less conclusive.

> The evidence about whether exercise for depression improves quality of life is inconclusive.

One problem is that "terrorism" is not well defined.

If you use the definition "untargeted civillian attacks", then that excludes the 9/11 attacks. As I understand it, the targets were: the World Trade center, as a symbol of US economic power, the Pentagon as the center of US military power, and flight 93 was headed towards DC, so perhaps the Capital building or the White House, as an attack on political power.

The goals of those who planned and carried out 9/11 was not simply to strike fear. "Al-Qaeda and bin Laden cited U.S. support of Israel, the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, and sanctions against Iraq as motives."

Does anybody know if VR headsets will eventually replace monitors? Would be great for ergonomics. Much more portable, you don't have to sit but can lie on a couch, have a lot of screen estate even in tight spaces such as on a plane etc. That with a keyboard is my dream setup.
Expense tracking. My bank sends me one email every time my card is used.

- Using the Google Places API I find the related establishment (gives me name, address, phone number, etc)

- Using the Gmail API I look for a receipt email (if any) by looking for another email with the same dollar amount and the same date

So at any given time I can see all the purchases/payments I've done with rich information about where and exactly when (including time of day).

For some reason banks don't like to tell you the time of a purchase. only the date.
>Yet, if you were to apply the same methodology there, you will get same contradicting results

Can you explain this point further? Are you saying that Khanate tax records are inaccurate or that the Khivan Khanate were more wealthy than people today?

The people at the time were able to feed themselves, clothe themselves, and so on. I have a hard time thinking of this as a less than $1000 equivalent existence, but maybe it is...

This also reminds me that GDP isn't a measure of overall wellbeing, and the article doesn't claim it is. I'd be interested to see a map of relative wellbeing. I don't think people then were 1/100th as happy as us on average.
Personally I find apologies of any kind from companies worthless. I don't get why people are so bent on squeezing apologies out of everything they can. It's a power thing most likely.

I prefer actions and we should incentivize the right actions from companies. Apologies are worthless, what people actually believe is worthless. Behavior is the only thing that matters.

>Why is integrity such a concern these days?

It's phony integrity. Social media has turned the entire world into gabbing Sunday churchgoers where everyone has to pretend to think and act in acceptable ways otherwise they'll incur the wrath of church gossip.
The point is the vast majority of regexes attempting to validate an email address will produce false negatives, reject valid email addresses. If a regex must exist, it should strip all whitespace characters first, confirm there is a single '@' with one or more characters before it, and two or more characters after it (the davidcel.is article mentions checking for a dot but a@us could be a valid address that would fail that test); it should not balk at character sets other than ASCII.

If you want to do some additional non-regex validation, like confirm the hostname exists and has an MX record, have at it.
Ah damn, missed that. Thanks.
I come from neighborhoods that are close to Detroit standards... I would move there as long as properties don't come with tax liens (which I remember reading was an issue a couple of years ago)
we [1] do most of our AMI provisioning by booting a machine, checking out our ansible codebase and running `ansible-playbook -c local -i "localhost," ...` as part of cloud-init. Build progress is piped over SQS and a management process [2] waits for completion and triggers an AMI snapshot. It works well. I'm not sure if that's what you mean by "server-less", but in our use case there is no controller.

Mine would be “user doesn’t trust Google”

I don’t trust they’ll support it, develop it, focus on it, iterate on it, etc

and that’s without getting into trusting their ecosystem and privacy issues.

I trust google less than I trust almost any other large tech company.
I've been with them since 2007 and they did have some bad years, and just last year I was getting quite a bit of downtime due to someone attaching the shared server I was on. I asked to be moved to a different server and have had like 99% uptime since. So while there are issues now and then these days, support does help you if you ask. Plus for what I pay, I think it's great value.
As a resident of the Columbus Ohio area for many years the equivalent to East Cleveland would be Whitehall. Whitehall is an inner-belt suburb that has nothing but [now] dirt cheap housing with a high crime rate. Meanwhile a 20 minute drive to the north is one of the fastest growing areas in the country, Delaware County. All suburb with upper six figure homes, retail, medical, and a near zero crime rate. One can use Columbus as the perfect example of what happens when affluent people keep moving further away from the city core. Far flung suburbs are building like crazy, like Dublin and Westerville in Deleware County. Gahanna is getting swallowed by Columbus annexing, New Albany's aggressive annexing may save part of the city from going "ghetto" in 25-30 years. Reynoldsburg, Pickerington, and Pataskala all annexed to block Columbus from swallowing them whole too.

Inner suburbia like Whitehall is not coming back. Highway infrastructue shuffles more traffic between suburbs around Columbus and many other citys rather than traffic into the city core. Poor people displaced from hip new downtown building are moving into these abandoned inner burbs and bringing all the crime with them.
Those three things seem to be the answer to so many health issues, physical as well as mental.

Howdy, author here! When someone is getting ready to come onsite, we give the more detailed information about what the onsite will look like, as this varies team by team. Our iOS and Android interviews both do 90 minutes of pair programming. Roles that we're not hiring many people for typically do not have pair programming interviews.

But our focus in interviews isn't CS textbook experience. It's the types of things you actually need to know to do the job.

I noticed something the article fails to mention.

When I was in Chicago the other weekend there was so much talk about Amazon moving their headquarters there, with a number of possible sites including the Old Main Post Office.

There is a building boom going on right now. Chicago has 54 high-rises in construction, many with residential living space. Some are smaller 50-unit buildings and the biggest, One Grant Park, has 792 units.
New Intel chips have only had minimal improvements to previous chips, so there isn't a huge incentive to upgrade if you don't mind giving up a little performance in exchange for security.

Please be advised that taking SSRIs can have negative side effects that you might not be aware of.

When people I'm close with start taking them, they are less interested in being intimate and stop "loving"/being affectionate.

In my experience, having a schedule, exercising and making sure you are around other people help a lot more while preserving your personality.

The funny thing is Billy Joel's song about the jobs actually wasn't Allentown but Bethlehem. There were plenty of jobs just not Bethlehem Steel jobs. Today it is a casino (I hate Casinos) and some art and public TV studios. Bethlehem has and is doing fine.

Allentown's demographic shift was huge to where 75%+ of the students are of Latino heritage and 90% qualify for free Federal Lunch Program in Allentown School District. The hate is real against everything Allentown.
