Are there examples of pages generated with Gutenberg?
I see a lot of folks complaining, but the reasoning is completely blown out. "I hate spa's because they have a 50 mb library behind them". Honestly I'd like to see an example of that.

I haven't built a static website since 2005 and I seriously don't get all the contempt for spa's or dynamic sites. Horrible user experience? Maybe for those who grew up on static designs. If you do them right, which isn't even hard, they should be a much better experience, since you're not loading all the content at once.

Maybe I don't understand because there's a bunch of gripping and not a lot of, "here's why it sucks". Other than, "the web was intended to support static sites". Yeah, and computers were built strictly for scientists, so stop using yours. :)
Pre-compiled binaries: https://github.com/Keats/gutenberg/releases

Didn't notice those at first. Read the "installation" page, but jumped straight to the subheading "mac os x" and thought it was unavailable.

Maybe you could have a"download for <Mac OS X/Windows>" button on the main page that would lead to the relevant binary for the visitor's platform.
It's even worse if you don't have records!

let x = Y (Foo (old_bar + 1) quux) baz
where Y (Foo old_bar quux) baz = y
Fabric is reacting to what the most conservative group or Linux users (sysadmins for RHEL) are asking for. That's why RHEL moving to Python 3 would be the last push needed.

chuckles I had an ex-gf who worked on the customer service side of Sprint and we went round and round about this. There must have been some serious corporate messaging to their employees to justify tethering fees.

I will say, in the carrier's only defense: when the market demanded everyone sell vastly oversubscribed "unlimited" plans at rates that were far too low to support them... then prohibiting tethering had an argument. (As anything that promoted higher data consumption led to directly increased costs)

Now? With "unlimited w/ cap" or "data-by-the-GB" plans? Absolutely a ploy to screw customers.

I use my Linux desktop through VNC roughly 50% of the time I'm using it (though, honestly, most of the time I work locally on my laptop).

It's convenient to have access to the desktop session I left running the night before remotely if I want to. I mostly use it to sync files/code I forgot to upload when I quit the last time, or to start a download on Steam or something like that.

I'm sure Wayland will eventually support similar usage, but I understand you reluctance to adopt it until it does.

This is kind of a narrow way too look at things, isn't it? I think a founder of a company is more than "Employee #1". They are literally the person who envisioned and created the company. That deserves respect and if the founder is not harming the company or breaking laws, I don't see any reason why my government should have the legal ability to make them step down.

Hmm... thats not actually whats going on. Its not like start ups wouldn't have to pay hosting costs if the big 5 didn't exist. If anything these ability to host at Google/MSFT/Amazon lowers the barrier to entry for startups.
This is not specific to HoAs. Most non-rural ordinances have some definition of what is legal to have for a lawn, and those generally forbid natural growth.
I doubt very much Ubuntu has made python3 /usr/bin/python, since the official recommendation of the Python project is to not do that.

Still true of course that it doesn't have to be installed by default even if some applications still need it.
Decline of the Midwest?
As it is with most countries in Europe and I think many in Asia as well (correct me if I'm wrong). This is just an example of America's hardcore capitalism where certain markets are dominated by a few key players and the only entity capable of stopping them from enacting these batshit insane anti-consumer tactics are congress who are more than happy to take their bribes whilst shafting the average American consumer.
Read and learn about the world. Software is an achievement of western knowledge and determination. College can possibly help you with this but it's likely to burn you out again as well. Make some art. Start making music. Travel to another country. Read some books. You might just find yourself running back to your computer to code. Maybe.
Chris Moody usually delivers great blog posts; this big-worded rehash of an ancient 2014 technique (see
https://rare-technologies.com/making-sense-of-word2vec/ for a more comprehensive eval of SVD vs word2vec vs gloVe) is weird.

But on twitter, Chris promised a sequel post, with extra tricks and tips. So I see this as a warm up :)
Looking forward to part 2.
I like trackballs, and I would much rather use one than most track pads.
I agree, the numerical results are poorly presented.

What was measured was wether their tests can find a dominant eye in the subject or not as well as the difference in Maxwell's centroids between both eyes.

Eye dominance results:

They had two types of test for this; the sighting test and the after-image test.

For the control group they found a dominant eye in 28 of the sighting tests and 30 in the after-image tests. In the 28 cases where they found a dominant eye with both tests, the tests corresponded perfectly, i.e. if the sighting test indicated the right eye was dominant the after-imagetest also did.

For the dyslexic group the sighting test found a dominant eye for 14 subjects, and the after-image test for 3. In the 3 cases where they found a dominant eye with both tests, the results corresponded perfectly.

Maxwell's centroids result:

For the control group they showed that in 29 cases the asymmetry between the centroids was at least above 0.3 (as far as I can tell from the figures), where 0.3 means "weak asymmetry" and 0.6 means "strong asymmetry". One case was slightly above 0.2.

For the dyslexic group 27 cases had ~0.0 in the asymmetry measure. 2 above 0.3 and one slightly below 0.3.

I have generalized a bit and labeled results ranging from 0.3 to 0.5 as "above 0.3".
I'd add that I also think there is a three dimensional cataloging of information that you get from using a thick textbook.

"Chapter 19" gets stored in your own memory in three dimensional space. Flipping backwards and forwards on topics can result in an unintentional mnemonic device.

Especially when you consider a typical introduction to of comp-sci textbook (for example) the foundational principles (input, output, variables, loops) are all organized at the FRONT of the book.

Things of increasing complexity are gated behind the foundations.

Now that's also probably just a window into how my 40 year old brain grew up. With textbooks etc... there's nothing to say that younger brains won't re-wire themselves to learn from a screen and find their own mnemonics - maybe it's left and right as opposed to forward and back.
There seems to be a concerted effort to paint the silicon valley elite companies as "dangerous"? I'm not sure it's unwarranted, but it seems relatively recent to me, as if to drum up political support for regulation. What's interesting to me is the big technology/infrastructure/media corporations that are escaping this broad brush, including AT&T and Comcast.

There are a few codebases you can poke around in, notably ShareDB (https://github.com/share/sharedb/tree/master/examples).

This article had some visibility on HN a couple weeks ago, perhaps it is what you are looking for: http://digitalfreepen.com/2017/10/06/simple-real-time-collab...

The fact that that article needs 10 plus pages to describe one of the simplest use cases belies the unfortunate underlying truth: OT (and realtime co-editing) is intractably difficult for all but the most constrained data models. Which is a pity because it is undeniably cool, and why we built Convergence (https://convergencelabs.com) -- general-purpose realtime collaboration.

>I'm not sure that's enough.

No. It is absolutely enough in our current legal interpretations.

"I saw naasking communing with Satan, I swear it" is enough to get you put in prison or to a death sentence in the US. We like to think we are beyond the days of witch trials, but a few weeks in a courtroom would change your mind.

Trying to change that legal interpretation is going to be very difficult. Many crimes have very little physical evidence, even the interpretations of physical evidence we have are horribly bad because of biased expert witnesses and broken crime labs. Moreso, any push for better physical evidence will get more pushback from voters that are "Tough on crime", which is a very strong voting block in the US.

In other words, they've made a lot of big changes right before an LTS version so that they can get wider usage with those who don't mind being on the bleeding edge. Sounds like they're doing it right :)

I'm putting a lot of hope into 18.04. Been using Ubuntu for over a decade now and my happiness with it has been steadily decreasing. Mostly at this point due to very laggy graphics performance (whether using OSS or closed drivers) on a system that should be very fast.

If 18.04 isn't awesome I'm moving on to something else. So I'm glad to see they're breaking some eggs with 17.10!
They can measure the performance on social media + google queries.

Then they can "scoop" it up before it's valued higher than themselves.
You do realize that AWS and GCP take credit cards? If it was just that you are already at sub $25k/mo.
So how would that work? How would that company originate? What would the founders have from it? At what point would it become owned by employees?

I wonder why no one did this before. There is certainly nothing stopping them from it today if it is such a good idea.
Do you need to use it on insert mode as well? I set to use space as the leader key only on normal mode so there's no lag.
> wholehearted

I'm sorry, but I just don't buy it. The degree to which one would have to be willing to fudge things in order to make that work seems incredible to me. I can forgive the laypeople, the people who have placed their belief in others who claim an authority they don't have a right to but I find it impossible to afford the purveyors of the belief systems themselves the same leeway. After all, if you study something more than a little bit then you should be intricately familiar with the thing and in the case of religion it would require quite an act of self delusion in order to get to the point where you would start influencing the lives of others based on the belief you profess to be an authority in.

Maybe they have some other code by which they live but a search for truth or a solid foundation under the religion at hand does not seem to factor into it.

I've met quite a few priests, not a single one - to date, I'm prepared to be surprised - struck me as willing to place evidence over dogma and reason over belief. But that didn't stop them from eating over the backs of their subjects and making promises they would never be able to keep.
That statement is directly linked (literally hyperlinked) to this study:

https://www.cbinsights.com/research/venture-capital-funnel-2...
Yeah. I have a stack of fallen tree limbs / logs in one relatively hidden corner of my lawn. It turns into super good soil. It's got a bunch of insect life there, as well as good fungal life. And my neighbor's chickens love it.
You think these watches are made because the children like them?
That's a foreign concept to people who bitch how poor they are while making $150k/year.
titzer sez: "Actually the study is couched in a lot of careful caveats and they _don't_ extrapolate to the rest of the world. I didn't see any extrapolation."

Others are using the article as support for far-fetched claims. AFAICT a 220-acre study in the hinterlands of Germany with two data points (two samples, one in 1989 and one in 2013) is causing worldwide headlines claiming a collapse of bug population:

https://www.google.com/search?&q=75%25+decline+over+27+years

titzer sez: " You don't even trust them to be able to properly factor out the weight of alcohol?"

You missed my point: My point was that they measure the weight of a mass of unclassified insects + alcohol + whatever else was in the trapping fluid and that they weren't presenting statistics based on insect count or insect species or insect age, health, etc. Beetles weight more than mosquitoes for example but we aren't being presented statistics for specific insect species/age/health/etc, we're being presented statistics for a mass of unclassified insects + absorbed alcohol + whatever else. Any gross measure of insect biomass is highly variable depending on bug species, population, location, predation, food supply, season, disease, etc. If you do your harvesting immediately after , say, the cicadas emerge, you'll get lots of insect biomass. Do it a six weeks later and the biomass will plummet precipitously. So you must design your experiments to take such possibilities into account.

titzer sez: "That's not being critical, that's just disbelief."

And that is a poor attempt at use of a broad brush to tar someone.

I _am_ skeptical of the studies, as any scientist should be. You may, like others, read confirmation from your car's front bumper, but I prefer experiments with proper controls and measurements when we're speaking of good science. And, of course, I am always wary of field experiments that may involve the use of ethyl (drinking) alcohol:

Hans: Sorry, Hauser, I yust panicked and ran. Does it hurt much? Hauser, Hauser, are you drunk???

Hauser: My hands are on fire. Zat's the last time I try to throw a hornets nest! Good thing we have a handy pain-killer available! Zis bug juice is hardly working though; zese stings are killing me! Pass me zat other bottle.

Hans: Scheiss, Hauser, you're drinking ze bugs from ze data collection!! Vat the hell we gonna use for data?

Hauser: Zis trip is a catastrophe! Scheiss! I know what! Ve can give the data to Schneider. He said he can prove anything with almost any data. Once he told me, Schneider told me, "ze less data, ze better!" He says no one pays attention to real statistics anymore.
Great for helping lose unsaved changes, too.
The tiny house movement is because people can't afford regular houses so they build glorified sheds on whatever scraps of land they can afford. Cities are breeding grounds for disease primarily because of the lack of personal space.
I have a similar thought coming from a Java/Eclipse background; why use a bunch of half baked plugins to build a poor IDE experience? Vanilla vim is very capable. Personally, I use zero plugins, and a minimal vimrc, and have for years.
I've been using vim about 20 years now.

Maybe I'm weird but I don't use any plugins. When I want more than what Vim does I use something else. Autocomplete, find usages, etc? I'll use an IDE for that. When I need to refactor a 500MB text file without hanging my machine, I'll use vim.

Thoughts on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USkEzLuzmZ4?

You've argued over the years that the justice system is in fact a justice system, not merely a legal system. In other words, you believe it's mostly fair.

I feel like I'm probably misrepresenting your position. But the overall point is that many of your comments carry a tone of "Well, there's a logical basis for why the courts work this way."

I've been trying to square your experience with anecdotal evidence, which seems to universally agree that the system is stacked against you. Those who go to court with a public defender are doomed.

In case you happen to enjoy that video, there's another on bail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS5mwymTIJU

One of my worst fears is being accused of some kind of crime, like cybercrime or anything else. I've seen how HN and Reddit treat the accused. I've done it myself: I know that the point of an indictment is to indict someone, yet when I read FBI testimony stating that the founder of Silk Road hired hitmen, I start to feel differently about him.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15414170

As cheesy as it sounds, I care about being honorable. I'd never engage in ransomware or embezzlement or anything else, let alone hurt anybody. But I know that if someone were to accuse me of those things, people would automatically think less of me, regardless of whether I did it or not. And that's why it's terrifying. Especially for those without money.

So I thought I'd ask you to please justify this system. Fundamentally, morally: is it sound?

The fact that 95% of cases end in plea deals, and that N% of that subset didn't commit any crimes -- should we feel ok with that? Yet on the flipside, it seems to work, and we seem to live in a pretty decent and free society. I'm not sure how much or little we should credit the courts for that.

The reason I'm asking you in particular is because you're one of a few people on HN with enough experience to give a thoughtful answer. You've been involved with it, and you know the territory.
So we'll get it in 2024?

I think the Youtube redesign idea is to use something like polymers or whatever they are called. They are a Google technology supported in Chrome, but since other browsers need to use some clunky and superslow javascript polyfill Chrome suddenly feels like the fast browser.
I am a big fan of freakonomics podcast, I think it is the only podcast that I have listened to all of its episodes (more than 300).

what I like more about freekonomics is the quality of the great books they usually discuss in their podcasts, they do even interview their authors sometimes.

Since I’m always seeking new good books to read, I’ve gone ahead and collected all of their books in one easy to use website, not only to fill my own need, but for anyone interested in this great list.

The Pandora and upcoming Pyra don't have FOSS GPU drivers available at all, though. The Pandora is ridden with GPU bugs because the current GPU drivers were never properly supported and have some broken OpenGL implementation.
Tethering fees made sense when the ability to tether was added to smartphones (officially.) The original "Unlimited" plan people signed up for was intended to be limited by the rate that the phone itself could use data, which was slow.

Tethering fees on limited plans are incredibly stupid, and just a cash grab by carriers. Luckily most major carriers have eliminated them now.
Openness of their component parts was a key goal. Reusing a legacy keyboard and using a super-closed platform like an iPad to get a display going seems really counterproductive in that regard.

Additionally, how would you link the iPad display linked to an i.MX board in the first place? Some kind of remote desktop app? Sounds like a terrible solution to me...
This bothers me too, as a vi / vim user of 20 years, I've always respected emacs even if I didn't want to use it. But now it's getting to be where vim too is laboring under a big pile of hacks, and in a worse language than elisp. Recently I've switched to kakoune for development, which innovated where it counts by implementing new ideas about the core job of editing text. I'll still use plain vi as $EDITOR, because I know it's always there for me, but vim-as-an-ide is not for me.

A decent sized city in the south east, its a common complaint around here but other people have done more to fight it. Since I don't own I haven't really pushed it but if I did I think I would. My guess is that it all has to do with property values, if I built a nice garden in the front lawn and it looked great it would be fine. Letting it just grow up not so much which is why I limit it to the back yard but my uptight neighbors don't want to be next to wildlife.
