For anyone interesting in trying out, here are the open source Smalltalk implementations available:

Pharo [1]
Squeak [2]
Cuis [3]

Note that these implementations have FFI and which you can modify / build shared libraries for. The creator of Cuis, who works at a satellite company, did just that by integrating OpenCL because he wanted the liveliness of Smalltalk. Cuis is also the most minimal of the lot.

Adventures in Programming Interviews: Misleadingly Simple NP-Hard Problem
Although I agree automation necessarily moves wealth from labor to capital sources, I think an underappreciated concept by those concerned about automation is how increased productivity at least historically has benefited the overall economy. The industrial revolution went a long way towards advancing economic inequality, but had it not happened we collectively wouldn't enjoy anywhere near the quality of life we now do (and that goes for pretty much anyone who's worn a t-shirt).

But yes, it would be best if we could find ways to help laborers adapt to new automation and advance technology in a socially responsible way. Not that I have any great ideas for how that would work.
What I'm mostly interested to see is the rate of new projects using mongo.

Do they have growth at a rate that justifies their valuation?

If that's the case, is HN living in its own bubble? Because if you read HN you'd think that nobody will use mongodb for a new project.
Completely disagree. As someone that worked from home for 5 years, moving to shared workspace (coincidentally WeWork) provided the needed separation of church and state. I'm far more productive and I'm more than covered the costs of the space from work I've got as a result of being here.

> This cryptic error

Well....I don't think I've seen many programmer-to-programmer errors that are less cryptic than the one described in the article. It's actually quite amazing how much explanation you sometimes get from Cocoa!
Boston Properties Inc as far as I can tell hasn't much to do with blockchain. WeWork, on the other hand, may have 5 times less properties but they track them via blockchain or something like that.

While I'd be surprised if it doesn't work for that, Xwayland support is more for running older X11 programs that either haven't or won't receive a wayland port. It'd the way for backwards compatibility so that it's not an all or nothing endeavor.
We cannot do this today, but this capability, of using language, is one we are actively working towards. Eventually, you can imagine an AI that can engage in a dialog like this one, in words. For example, see the DARPA Explainable AI program: https://www.darpa.mil/program/explainable-artificial-intelli....
That’s true, vims automation is great. I’ve had some success with multiple cursors in sublime text for instance, but vim really is the king here.
I must emphasize that any time we "maintain programs, add features later on, rewrite/refactor parts of the program", we are doing so with a REPL. We don't just use the REPL for one-off scripts.
Sure. The most direct argument against that is that Postgresql jsonb is just non-relational data support in a first class relational DB, which is pretty great, so to an extend you get the best of both worlds, though I'm sure you can find a case where it's not quite optimal vs some nosql db.

This talk is a pretty nifty perf overview:

That said, if you know beforehand that horizontal scaling will be a crucial factor, probably postgres isn't the first choice. But with how fast CPUs are these days it's usually not important for a long time.
That doesn’t mean that the binaries match the repo content.
I think that one was worse in many ways. At least in the 60s they were fighting communists at a time when communists were causing a lot of problems. I find it hard to see much justification for the Timor stuff.
It also says that both of them are limited by tmux, which I use 100% of the time in the terminal. The real problem is when you run Vim in tmux and start to scroll in a large file that you notice that Terminal.app does not cut it. It lags badly. In Alacritty its silky smooth.

And yes, scrolling with j/k for longer periods may be an anti-pattern in Vim and yada yada... I scroll in Vim, and in Alacritty its smooth, in Terminal.app its sluggish.
The article states:

These rules are constraints on how to create your code
and are only intended to be applied when doing katas or
exercises.

These rules are an exercise to kick you out of an OOP mindset, not best practices for writing real code.

By that same token, I think it is a good rule when practicing OOP to not allow bare functions. It helps train yourself to think "Is there a logical class that this method belongs to?" In real code, of course, the answer is often "no". But when first learning OOP, it's good to teach yourself to ask that question in the first place.

Your code isn't a good example of "the OOP way", though. A fluent OOP solution would be:

s = x.sin()

Another good rule when practicing OOP would be "No classes without state." That helps you avoid the habit of writing pointless "namespace" classes like the "Math" class you define here. Of course, again, sometimes it is useful to wrap a bunch of related behavior in a stateless class, but that should be the exception, not the default.
Yeah, my problem is that the article is titled "Why the trial by ordeal was actually an effective test of guilt" and not "Why the trial by ordeal was a less horrifying meat grinder of human stupidity than you might otherwise think."

I went to Cal and saw many of my friends go through the same thing. EECS is one of the most impacted majors, so the weeder introductory classes are brutal by design. For those who made it into the major, it didn't seem nearly as bad.
I also briefly tried it out, being drawn to the claim of Turing completeness, but I wasn't able to get inference working over any model with interesting control flow (e.g. loops). It seemed to have about the same expressive power of PyMC3, albeit running over Tensorflow which seemed neat. It would be very cool to see something with the expressive power of, say, Church running on tf.

I seem to recall there is an app like that for Android, but it requires a rooted device.

Basically it presents ISOs over the USB connection as if they were storage devices, allowing them to act as boot media for a connected PC.
Seems like that would greatly reduce the value of labor.
Gruber makes it pretty clear in your link that the author of Dash engaged in unethical practices, just not with the Dash app (or the account used to publish Dash). Heck, publishing the phone call alone is unethical, regardless of any of the alleged app review behavior.

>"To return to the HAART example, imagine you're an HIV+ patient and I've told you that a major study failed to control for time-varying confounding, and that upon re-analysis, instead of doubling your 5 year survival, it only increases it by 87%.

Or, for a form of "is this repeatable?" that I particularly despise, that it still doubles your chances of survival, but the p-value has gone from 0.047 to 0.062.

Do you want to stop taking the drug?"

This obviously depends on the relative costs. Cost of side effects, buying the drugs, time going to treatment, etc. That all requires accurate quantification. But cost-benefit isn't even what I meant.

To begin with, if they can't nail down a quantifiable effect that is stable from study to study, who knows what is going on? Why would you have confidence in their estimates of effectiveness if they are inconsistent with one another?
The Fed has in fact raised the rates twice this years and once last year, how is that keeping rates low?

That video in your link says nothing about keeping rates low, its about the nature of inflation.
You might not think of them as a lifestyle brand but it certainly looks like that is the case they are making.

I only knew WeWork by name and didn't know much about it, after this thread, I googled a bit and their Twitter page is full of meme-level motivational images(Always be hustlin' signs, dogs at work), they are definitely trying to appeal to a specific audience here.

I share the sentiment of others in this thread, it looks to me like they are leveraging real estate to capture the trendy piece of the market.

Their latest offering(as it seems from their Twitter feed) is a wellness/fitness center called "Rise by We", as described on their feed: "a holistic wellness community crafted to enliven your spirit". Judging from that I wouldn't be surprised if their next bet is the next 'W hotels' of conferences/events where they can obtain a share in bigger companies events budget.
It occurs to me that the replication crisis largely came into being because scientists are rewarded for publishing papers that demonstrate some effect and not for publishing papers that fail to demonstrate anything, and so the right fix would have been to fix the broken incentives. But apparently (if this article is to be believed) no such change in incentives has happened - the only thing is that there are now also incentives for demonstrating that some other study wasn't replicable. Steadily doing good science, where good science is expected not to produce results much of the time, continues to have no support. Is it any wonder that the state of science seems a little better (at least we can admit the replication crisis now) but people like Cuddy feel like they have no future in the field, that having the misfortune of the one-in-twenty chance of getting a really interesting false positive at p = 0.05 means you either have to double down on the study being right after all or you have to quit the field? Are schools actually looking at past p-hacking while continuing to demand a huge publication record for hiring? This doesn't seem like we've solved any fundamental problems.

(Also, as a side note, I'd fully expect that CS is at least as vulnerable to the same thing. McSherry et al.'s COST work is a good example of something that seems far worse than p-hacking: instead of having a clearly defined hypothesis and publishing the 1-in-20 papers that falsely state it's true, as in other fields, there's nothing clearly defined in scalable systems and 20 out of 20 people who build something excessively complicated can get a paper out of it.)
That's a really cool offline experience. Works almost too well - I would have never expected to be able to simply load the site via the url when offline.
The webapp includes a copy of the documentation for Rust, Go, Nim, Lua, Julia, Haxe, Tensorflow, Numpy, among many other technologies. If you consider these "web dev" then label me crazy because I see these as system programming languages and/or data science libraries more than anything else. The lack of Scala, C#, etc is due to the complexity of the documentation which cannot be downloaded so easily as the others, or the license of the documentation itself.

Java is under the JDK section by the way.

American cities were generally not shaped directly by the companies, rather, by the economy made from those companies.

Lots of cars = big stores = possibility for suburbs.

Exxon did not say to the President: 'build suburbs because it's good for cars'.

I believe Google has considerably more goodwill - at the same time...

We've known for 100's of years how to build good cities

Cities are about people, culture and architecture - not 'wifi' and 'hyper-loops'.

Many North American cities are trying to get people to bicycle - yeah - that's retrograde ! and good. We don't need tech for that.

Utopian thinking usually ends up in dystopia because of the arrogance of the 'visionaries' - they over emphasize some things, and fail to recognize the underlying, important things.

I can't think of a single 'modern' city, truly designed in the modern era that is a glowing example of 'how it should be'.

All the great places to live are old - built before cars, interesting architecture, and some kind of local culture with nice people, low crime, fresh air. That's mostly what you need.

Want a hyperloop? Sure. Put it underground where nobody can see it, and it serves it's function: getting people from A->B.
To a point I agree. Nespresso machines are about 100x better than Keurigs. They just are and no amount of lifestyle marketing is going to change that.
When an app has been ported to Wayland, how does it work? At the risk of sounding dumb, how do the pixels get from the datacenter to the framebuffer if not by Xwayland?
At my previous shop, it was normal to silently tolerate developers breaking the rules (not locking their stations when they stepped away, browsing unapproved sites, coming in late, leaving early)... until it was decided that they needed to be fired because they were rude to someone important, or etc... at that point they lost their privilege to act like a professional and their badge-access records were pulled and compared to their time-entry.

The reason developers got fired is because of clear and well-defined rules... that were never enforced except when the decision to fire them for an arbitrary reason had already been made.

I think HR-bot 5000 would treat employees more equitably by forcing employers to confront the inequity of some HR regulations. The same way self-driving cars "drive weird" because they stop at stop signs and drive the speed limit.
Doesn't this entirely miss the point? If they froze Wikipedia as it is and it stopped keeping up with the times, it'd be significantly less useful. And considering that Wikipedia is substantially losing editors and admins, any attempt they can make to bring more in seems appropriate. There is likely a critical mass of volunteers needed - fewer than that and you lose it all.

The approach theyve taken to this issue may not be cost effective, but it's absolutely necessary.
it's probably doable as is in Smalltalk, the issue is OOP trying to ontologically categorize everything is impossible; one day we may need operations on numbers we don't know now and we'll have to "import CategoricalHomotopy as ch; ch.tropos(42)"
That's not likely what caused its decline. I used Delicious for quite a while, and my reduction in use had nothing to do with what it used on the backend. I think it served its purpose as a social bookmarking site pretty well for the time it lasted. But it finally started its decline likely due to old fashioned competition. Google pretty much made the need for personal bookmarks obsolete, and sites like Digg and Reddit were a much better method of sharing links with curated lists and discussions.
The author of the article doesn't seem to have any background in anthropology or frankly any clue at all how "cave people" behaved. Experts don't agree on everything but I'd suggest reading Sex at Dawn as a good starting point.

What an absurd and misconceived open letter. Wikipedia is a fantastic resource, as the author acknowledges, and it's up to them how they raise funds but thankfully another fantastic thing is that they are ad free. And this dude thought it was worthwhile to spend an hour writing this letter because an email from wikipedia slightly bothered his inbox one day? Does he not have better things to do? Ridiculous first world problems and ridiculous looking of gift horses in the mouth.

That's true. In part because of the great fire. In other cases, there was rolling development. There has been an influx of new tower construction over the past decade or so -- largely condos, mind you. As well as the Daniel Lee Chin crystal addition to the ROM and the new Varisty Blues stadium at U of T.

1) Any plans to include .Net Core as 1 of your platforms ? Don't see it in the popup when I visited the site.

2) I suggest you have pricing in USD also (big market here), and other top countries like Australia, Japan. Or is your payment API provider not available in US?

For an example, see Hubspot's pricing page. The values change nicely when you click the Currency Code => https://www.hubspot.com/pricing/marketing?professional
I agree with that so much that I spend all my time working on robots. I am not saying we should stop automating. More the latter, that we should work toward applying the technology in a sustainable way. The advances in labor protections as part of the industrial revolution did not come for free. People fought (and died!) for advances such as the eight hour work day, stopping child labor, and many other things.

At this moment in history, with so much automation happening, and also so much inequality, we should keep fighting for it to happen in a good way.

What is an example of non-relational data?

A tree is relational. Each child has a relation to its parent.

I can't imagine data that has no relation (no connection) to anything else. Maybe what you meant was heterogeneous (e.g. data elements that do not all have the same attributes) - but even then I can't readily come up with an example.

I love Zachtronics and eagerly purchase every game they are involved in. Even though I haven't really clicked with spacechem, TIS-100 and SHENZHEN I/O, I still purchased them. Infinifactory however truly clicked with me, and I played it endlessly.

I enjoy supporting the company because of the openness and history, as well as things like free DLC, and an obvious desire to provide good content for users instead of making a quick buck. I feel that when I purchase a Zachtronics game, I am not padding the pocket of some CEO who views me as a money printer, I feel as if I am contributing to a group who truly want me to enjoy their art.

This game seems to be a reimagining of http://www.zachtronics.com/the-codex-of-alchemical-engineeri...
