Yeah but see, the tabs share the browser environment. Each electron tries to run its own chromium instance. One of these is a memory hog and the other is a literal fire under your desk.
your website at instalocate.com seems to be down (I get `No such host at :80`).
It can mean that too, yes, but if the recruiter word-by-word says 2. then it could also mean 3. But then the rest the rest of the argument quite some weight since 3. is not rare anymore, as it's included in 2., too.
“All of our observations find a complete symmetry between matter and antimatter, which is why the universe should not actually exist,” says Christian Smorra, a physicist at CERN’s Baryon–Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment (BASE) collaboration. “An asymmetry must exist here somewhere but we simply do not understand where the difference is.”

Is this true? Does it mean that physicists have to re-think the Sakharov conditions (or find another source of CP-symmetry violations) to explain the imbalance of matter-antimatter in the universe?

I went the other way around and came up with https://github.com/shosca/django-rest-witchcraft as the project is already using django+sqlalchemy and I needed to do api's on existing things.
>No offence by why are the founding fathers put on such a high pedestal in the U.S.?

Because they were exceedingly well educated, with a knowledge of the rise and fall of nations, and of the shortcomings of human nature. They designed a system of checks and balances that gives the individual the best chances at success in such a world. The reasoning behind these decisions are well documented in the Federalist Papers.

This is a reasonable example of building application understanding into your cluster management system. At what point do we get departmental access to 'AI' resources? Let's say you're BigCorp and people periodically want to create a model to filter data or look for trends or something. When does employee Bob log into his machine and say "new tensor instance; import foo.xlx, bar.csv, baz.sq3 into instance; generate model;'?

IMO the difference in the quantity and quality of packages available for React more than makes up for that difference.
First of all, the capitalist-communist and repressive-free political axes have little to do with eachother. Setting that aside...

> the difference between capitalist societies and dictatorships, communist regimes, and the like is, the majority of that the powerful have access to the every man does as well. there is no restriction from buying as much as you can afford. there is no one saying you need to wait for your turn to buy food or what brands you can buy.

No, that's the difference between a society with scarcity and one without. Rationing has existed in the West, too - outside of war time.

The difference between a communist society and a capitalist one is who owns the means of production, and how the economic profits from it are distributed.

The Communist Party of the USSR owned the means of production, but distributed the profits from it incredibly unequally. [1] (For decades, the party promised that communism would be reached Soon(tm). And we just need everyone to work hard for a few more years...)

Capitalists (And, to a smaller extent, people with 401Ks) of the USA own the means of production, and distribute the profits from it incredibly unequally. (While telling half the population that they too are going to be wealthy. Just work hard for a few more years... And vote Republican - because taxes and regulation and foreigners are the reason they are poor.)

The reason you can buy Coca-Cola at 7-11 is because the USA produces more then enough staples. Were there a serious, long-term food shortage, you'd see ration cards[2] being implemented before you could say 'But, markets!'

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkhoz

> In a kolkhoz, a member received a share of the farm's product and profit according to the number of days worked, whereas a sovkhoz employed salaried workers. In practice, most kolkhozy did not pay their "members" in cash at all. In 1946, 30 percent of kolkhozy paid no cash for labor at all, 10.6 paid no grain, and 73.2 percent paid 500 grams of grain or less per day worked.[5] In addition the kolkhoz was required to sell its grain crop and other products to the State at fixed prices. These were set by Soviet government very low, and the difference between what the State paid the farm and what the State charged consumers represented a major source of income for the Soviet government.

I keep writing small programs and each time, I'm finding more efficient ways to write it or learning new things. As I develop new web apps, its like my mind has evolved to say, "I can do this more efficiently and with less code."

Definitely have come along way from the first web app I wrote. Can't say it was not without a lot of writing echo 'test'; to see exactly where the error was, though of course, most frameworks tell you exactly where the error is now, but it helps with testing and debugging.

I do a lot more brainstorming in the beginning, designing of the web app, and then actual coding. It's really just practice. Learning how to keep your code organized and understandable for yourself. Write as if someone is looking over your code and isn't as smart as you :P
Your claim is that grad students do not know that they could be working instead of going to school? That strikes me as a weak argument.
Ask HN: A good computer desk that works well for a desktop PC

Why do "voters" (you mean taxpayers?) need to decide about grant money? If such decisions were put to the vote, AI would have never got where it is now- it never used to be a popular field, until very recently.

Not even computer science would have gotten very far- it's another niche subject that took a long time to get any traction to the mainstream.

Anyway in the UK the public distrusts "boffins" and is likely to put serious impediments in their research, if, again, such matters were put to the vote.

What does PHP offer that Java doesn't to startups?
Ask HN: Do competitive startups offer annual stock refreshers?
When I worked at a large company, I'd get an annual refresher worth approximately 1/4 of my original hire grant for "meets expectation" performance evaluations; potentially much higher for ratings that exceeded average.

Is there any sort of expectation for refreshers in pre-IPO companies? I'm not talking Uber or Airbnb, but smaller companies that are earlier stage-- think mid-sized Series B or C.
Military clothing. Tourists could visit department stores like GUM but were forbidden to purchase anything that was part of an official uniform like hats, boots, medals etc. Additionally, all outgoing baggage was x-rayed because you weren't supposed to take out money or forbidden items, but the people operating the X-ray machines didn't care even though it was perfectly obvious that I and everyone else in my high school group was smuggling out such material.

I wore a red army belt buckle on my jeans for years afterwards. I think it's still sitting in my friend's attic in Amsterdam.

Shaders really are a lot of fun - WebGL isn't ideal, though. If you want to use the same thing in an actual application, I like to recommend Anton's OpenGL 4 Tutorials for quickly getting up and running with OGL4.2-4.3. It's not Vulkan, but personally I'm the sort to leave new APIs to cook for a little while.
These kind of topics need far more depth and detail for informed discussion that a forum discussion would allow, and its easy to get tied up clarifying misinformation and propaganda.

Those who are interested already know, others are happy with a superficial understanding of issues. There is little doubt many states were terrified of communism and what its success could mean and also communist states whenever tried devolved in some form of totalitarianism and a great betrayal of the people and principles.

Communist states have not been able to deliver on the promises and neither have capitalist states. The only constant is there are always a group of elites who manage to concentrate power, influence and wealth and drive agendas.
Sorry about the others downvoting you. If you dig into my comment history, I've written about a few ways to do this.

Great suggestion.

I am beginning to realize that neural networks have their own class of “vulnerabilities” that are not the same as other software bugs (implementation errors, etc) but are at the same time serious functional flaws. Like “oh I found the bug in your program! Here you import an older CNN, which last year was found to silently fail under this specific set of lighting and lens conditions. You need to update to the latest version and the problem will go away.”
My point is that you don't have to do so to the extent that you're claiming because other people already have.

Tesla gives update on Model 3 production problems, delays ramp up by 3 months
News publishers should likely form an association like ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC for music publishers, that police venues for public performance and sell blanket mechanical licenses for all possible cover performances of any music by any of their members.

If an individual pays the journalism association, they can read any article written by any member of it. If they don't pay, they can't read any "premium" journalism content by members of that association.

This would, naturally, take away the power for individual news organizations to price their own content, but it would provide a great incentive for people to actually pay something. I'm not going to bother with WSJ if I have to pay WSJ to read WSJ articles, and separately pay WP to read WP articles, and separately pay ChiTrib and IndyStar and Info-Ledger and Bugle-Tooter and Post-Intelligencer and Mercantile-Onion and Times-Dispatch and Dispatch-Times and every other publisher of ephemeral content on the network. But if I can pay one time to one company that gives me a VIP pass for 90% of all the news sites I visit, that's a really easy sell.

The problem--like with NetFlix losing huge piles of content to Disney rolling its own vidstream service--is fragmentation. If I pay $10/mo to NetFlix now, I'm not going to pay $10/mo to NetFlix and $10/mo to Disney/ABC in the future. I'm not even going to pay $10/mo total divided between them. I'll pay $0/mo, and do something else with my time. Even if the money cost is the same, the business relationship cost is at least doubled, and possibly even squared. And that is a significant factor even if the money cost was zero. If I'm discovering content, I can only discover from one silo at a time. If I'm searching for content, I may have to search many different services before finding what I want.

With respect to buying whole albums just for one song, at least back then I could go to a physical location that had music from all the publishers, all in one place. You didn't have a separate record store for each distributor, or worse, a different store for each publisher.
Absolutely, especially if the lightweight threads are implemented on top of OS threads, which is not what was done with Green Threads.
The answer to starvation is is to store food now. Seems kinda silly to have huge strategic oil reserves, and not food reserves.

After all there are many potential causes of food shortages and the risks are getting worse with each year because of additional pollution, global warming, and increased population.

I don't want anyone to die, but does seem short sighted to depend on soil enriched by previous eruptions, then to prevent future ones.
Safe to say, everybody? I think this is why software engineers are so grossly overpaid.

Nice! How do you find SQLAlchemy integrates with Django overall? (Can you use its models with the admin?)
This is fantastic!! This should be supported in every terminal. What a dream.
While it is excellent that this implementation worked for you, I feel like it's more important that people understand generalized principles of weight loss success rather than a specific implementation which happened to fit your habits and lifestyle. Some people will need to do far more than this and some will need to do far less. The specific food and exercise regimens you pick are only one aspect of a weight loss journey.
That's surprising to me! My main complaints of Angular 2+ are around testing, but I've had nothing but love for React testing (enzyme, chai, karma)

EDIT: whoops, mistyped. We don't use karma anymore in our React testing stack. It's mocha now.
Swag is always good. Stickers are a given.

One conference I attended had a company handing out cards with a puzzle on it (encoded message). Decode the message and email it to them and they tell you to drop by their booth for a free t-shirt. Clever way of collecting email addresses for recruiting and they mention that they're hiring when you get the shirt. They never did spam me via email, so I didn't think it was too intrusive.
Good to know, thanks for this.
Congrats to the new release! I've got a lot of respect for putting so much energy into open source projects.

Predictably, the discussion evolves around Angular vs react/vue/ember or whatever (personally, I like react).

My current customer project introduced me to a new generation of web front-end developers specializing in a particular framework (react/redux in our case) but know very little about CSS and the myriad of plumbing and polyfilling going on in browsers. In the end, they delivered an app that would only run on Chrome. Sadly, the whole thing makes me realize just how utterly inadequate the web platform after all these years still is for the kind of MVw apps folks want to use it for.

I think there's a place for a new "opinionated" web framework once again which more closely matches the needs of business apps, and which has an option to stand-alone app deployment outside web browsers. Mind you, this isn't a sentimental reflection on Java applets and their failure or some such, but based on years of actual project experience, including in front-end developer roles.

For example, the other day I learned that in 2017 there's no way to query the current zoom level of a web app (until very recently with the brand new Viewport API; but it's not supported using media queries; I mean, seriously?). Furthermore, I'm using a very simple SVG background image for a text area element, and the latest Chrome release introduced laughable aliasing bugs, which I could only workaround by using `opacity: 0.99`. There are still just so many tricks and hacks necessary for even the most basic of UI tasks that a realistic web app project feels like jumping from one ridiculous issue to another, frantically searching through StackOverflow, CSS-tricks, etc.

With the somewhat naive reception of react, Angular, and co (which don't actually do anything GUI-related, nor help with browser compatibility problems), I'm wondering whether I'm the only one feeling like putting square pegs into round holes using the web for anything other than content-driven sites.
That's a very open-ended question and not specific at all. Expecting a specific answer to that is just going to lead to disappointment for you and waste the time of your candidates.

What server architecture solutions do startups use?
I am a primarily Python developer who works with fairly larger clients. We use AWS as our main infrastructure for load-balancing, networking, app servers, celery/redis servers, Postgres on RDS, etc

For full blown Test/Stage & Scalable Prod deployments for even our small/med projects this is costing between $1-3k a month.

I'm curious how startups handle these costs. You can spin up a Digital Ocean droplet for ~$25, Heroku for something similar. Do people do this and just cram Django/Celery/Redis/Postgres/Node (or their equivalents) all on the same server and go with it?

What? This is like every shit coin. Tons of them tank to near zero and deflate. Anyone who thinks these coins are legitimate are fooling themselves. They are built with one core requirement, do just enough to differentiate from other coins, pump it, get out.

The average person can't understand 99% of the specs of these coins, it's all speculation. The whole thing is a ponzi scheme.
One of the major structural problems with using neural networks in production is that all failures are silent failures. You could create an ensemble of models that base their conclusions on reliably different features and report on disagreements with the ensemble decision, but that doesn't actually tell you which models were in error, just that some models were in error. Also, reliably determining that models are using different features is difficult.
