A lot of the way experts think is actually very domain-specific. So if you want to be good at thinking about a specific domain, might be worth reading one of Gary Klein's books about naturalistic decision making. https://www.amazon.com/Power-Intuition-Feelings-Better-Decis... is the most practical of the ones I've read.

More generically: learn how to write. Most hard problems won't fit in your head. Most of the ways we think are too vague and fuzzy. Writing things down and working through something in writing can help find the limits of your thinking process, and help you find solutions. I review a book that explains this very well here: https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/06/15/writing-book/

(You could alternatively take a good academic writing class at your local university.)
The fee size is relative to the amount of competition to get transactions into the next block. Because the block size has been capped at 1MB, not every transaction in the preceding 10 minutes will fit. So miners sort by the fees attached to the transactions when selecting them. (I think the block size is supposed to be increased to 2MB shortly, if it hasn't already.)
Most people who read blog articles get there from social media or search engines rather than being a regular reader of the blog. This seems to be a pretty established form of marketing.
The influences go both ways: Perl's object-orientation model was actually inspired by Python's.
Statistics don’t tell the story. Look at a population density map of Ontario.

30% of Canadians live in Ontario. About half of Ontarians live in the Toronto metro area alone. Overall about half the population lives in the top ten metro areas.

Yes, obviously you would have to upload at some point to get them into the cloud, but I was thinking the files could be manipulated locally first then the files + a script could be uploaded and processed remotely.

There definitely would be some cost to processing in the cloud, but I think it would be worth it.

I just look at apps like Adobe Photoshop CC that can be run on a Chromebook and I'm wondering why it's not being adopted more widely.
Wow, GitHub could save a lot of storage space if they dedup'd across projects/files explicitly, rather than storing Git repos, which is what I'm assuming they do.

Even with a good deduping/compressing filesystem, the way git history is stored means that they're probably missing out on a ton of savings here. Eh, it's probably not worth the complexity/deviation from standard Git tooling.
Serious question - would you pay for it?
That's also largely a function of poor/no subway access on the East Side. It took a long time to get the Second Ave. subway running, and that doesn't even come close to servicing Alphabet City.

The west side has multiple lines (red & blue, plus the yellow line starting around midtown) while the east side only has the green line (and the yellow line south of Union Sq.).
Safari has been my main work browser for a while, and I really like it, but as soon as you need an extension, it's a sad story... It's not that you cannot make good extensions for Safari. Apple closed the doors for non registered (and paying) developers, even for homebrewing extensions for your own use. For instance, there's no good userscripts extension for Safari as of now, and the userstyles extension is adware (randomly opens MacKeeper affiliate tabs: https://github.com/350d/stylish/blob/bc8f01693000cf00421c7b9...).

The only major complaint I have with Firefox (as of 57) is with openh264. It grabs a whole CPU core for a video that Safari handles at a fourth of that or less.
Agreed! Redux is cool but often overkill for basic CRUD apps, which the majority of JavaScript SPAs tend to be. My approach has been to take a long look at the app structure - if there's a way to refactor it to remove Redux (or what have you), that's probably the most sensible thing to do. Simple code > clever code where performance and maintainability are concerned.

I wouldn't mind a use case where Redux would be necessary or at least beneficial, for the practice, but I've yet to run across it after building half a dozen or more SPAs. These would be enterprise SPAs used in production, btw.

Depends on the building. The average home is built to different standards than a castle or temple.

Before bricks were introduced and straw was outlawed European cities didn't last long either. And in modern times European construction isn't very good either. Very few social housing built in 50s, 60s and 70s still stand.

Two hundred year old houses are pretty rare outside tourist areas.
I prefer

curl -s "https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/?convert=$1" |
jq ".[0] .price_$1" | sed 's/\"//g'

for silent curl and no quotes in output. Unfortunately, this does add a third dependency to the script.
I'm not the one who makes those decisions, but I'll pass the question up the chain!
Very few of them seem to have sat down, looked at the risk profiles/probabilities of various scenarios and said "I should start prepping".

In most cases they seem like people who are terrified of a few overly specific (low probability) events to the detriment of their health, relationships and community.

What concerns me is both that there now seems to be media specifically designed to prey upon these people's fears and then turn around and sell them products to assuage those.
It scales well in theory, and as long as the devs understand separation of concerns, and keep on top of refactoring, and don't overcomplicate things with extra layers of abstraction.

I've worked on some Angular (1) apps that became very messy over time. I think it all depends on the project. React/Redux can get messy too.

Euclid's Elements teaches geometric concepts that you're probably familiar with, but with interesting proofs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid%27s_Elements

It's free, it's time tested, and probably just the right amount of rigor to get your proof abilities up. I think the ability to prove theorems and the ability to construct abstractions go hand-in-hand.
Given the fact that Indian state already run a lot food programs and passed the National Food Security Act in 2003 [1], this just adding burden to the existing system. And on that end economists are right in complaining because this is nothing but redundancy built to ensure incumbents win the next election. Once elected they might ask for central package or special status for the state.

Sure. Many are in cornfields in a small town.

So random area in my zip code:

https://www.zillow.com/mishawaka-in-46545/home-values/

It is basically flat over the last 10 years. If you go back further, it more or less matches inflation.

Now look at someplace people actually want to live, like Chicago

https://www.zillow.com/chicago-il-60614/home-values/

The value curve is much different.

So basically, it is the land that goes up. Your actual HOUSE value goes down a tiny bit every year. I.e. all else being equal, a brand new house sells for a bit more than a 40 year old house. But if that 40 year old house is on an amazing piece of land, the overall (house + land) value could very easily appreciate a LOT.
Ha, thanks - done now

Moving a large festival with hundreds of workers and thousands of attendees to a new, stable location isn't as easy as it sounds. And yes, they are doing that, but it took a couple of years of looking for a viable new location.

As for sand mining as a "not seasonal" job - that mine will be played out in a year or two. The fest jobs are more long-term viable, by far. There are a number of local small businesses that make much of their annual income in the couple of months that the festival is open every summer/fall.
It's nice to know that HN is still as condescending as ever. Making an argument that relies on the premise that everyone else is stupid says less about people and more about how you think of others.

On a related note, I'm fond of this Mathoverflow answer, "Which math paper maximizes the ratio (importance)/(length)?"[1]
Highlights include:

1. A one-sentence proof published in American Mathematical Monthly that costs $19 to download on JSTOR,

2. The 8-page paper that introduced ζ (zeta) notation, two proofs of the ζ(s) L-function, several new methods in analytic and number theory, and (most famously) the Riemann Hypothesis,

3. Lebesque's paper introducing modern measure theory,

4. Elkies' paper proving the (titular) existence of infinitely many supersingular primes for every elliptic curve defined on the rationals.

It seems it was a bit easier to publish short, dense material in the 20th century :)

There was a custom xpi of mouse gestures redox that has a few more updates, but it's sadly unmaintained and broken in 57.

That is essentially what I am saying.

What I think OP was asking for is strategies to beat the market by buying and selling at the right time. I don't have any strategies like that, and would advise against following any such "strategies."

If OP wants to take regular income from investing, the smartest thing to do is just invest in businesses that pay regular dividends. Unfortunately, those stocks are all very expensive now, but as they say, "them's the breaks." I personally only invest in crypto and don't take any income from it.

> Yes, "$foo=7" is literally 1 character longer than "foo=7" which seems to violate terseness. (This is the example you seem to always gravitate back to.) For the 2nd time, I'm stressing that I already agree with that definition. However, that wasn't what I was talking about. People unfamiliar with a language that happens to have "ArrayList" spelled out is not as terse as "@".

I gravitate back to sigils because your point, that sigils' terseness contributed majorly to Perl's decline, was all I was objecting to. Python, Ruby, and Javascript don't spell out ArrayList either, yet those languages are now being used in most of the places where Perl used to be used. I ask again, if that was a major reason people left Perl, then why did the people who had that problem move to other languages that are even terser (ie, they don't spell out ArrayList and they don't even use sigils)?
Phasma’s post acknowledges that the opinion is questionable by comparing it to an ideal (that her appearance/presentation shouldn’t matter), and calling that disparity “something I struggle with.” That was my interpretation of the post, anyway. Re-reading it now, I still see it the same way. If you do not, then clearly we will interpret the responses to the post differently as well.
The battle for control of data could be just starting
So what would the equivalent Kotlin look like?

class applicativeCovariantInstanceStringString<C>: Applicative<EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, String, String>> {
fun point(a: () => String): EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, String> = arr(_ => a())
fun ap(fa: () => EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, String>))(f: () => EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, String => String>): EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, String> = LessThanLessThanLessThan(arr((y: Pair<String => String, String>) => y.first(y.second)), combine(f, fa))
}
class applicativeCovariantInstanceStringInt<C>: Applicative<EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, String, Int>> {
fun point(a: () => String): EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, String> = arr(_ => a())
fun ap(fa: () => EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, String>))(f: () => EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, String => Int>): EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, Int> = LessThanLessThanLessThan(arr((y: Pair<String => Int, String>) => y.first(y.second)), combine(f, fa))
}
class applicativeCovariantInstanceStringFloat<C>: Applicative<EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, String, Float>> {
fun point(a: () => String): EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, String> = arr(_ => a())
fun ap(fa: () => EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, String>))(f: () => EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, String => Float>): EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, Float> = LessThanLessThanLessThan(arr((y: Pair<String => Float, String>) => y.first(y.second)), combine(f, fa))
}
class applicativeCovariantInstanceIntString<C>: Applicative<EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, Int, String>> {
fun point(a: () => Int): EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, Int> = arr(_ => a())
fun ap(fa: () => EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, Int>))(f: () => EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, Int => String>): EqualsGreaterThanColon<C, String> = LessThanLessThanLessThan(arr((y: Pair<Int => String, Int>) => y.first(y.second)), combine(f, fa))
}
// and so on for all other pairs of types

I mean, I'm not going to defend whatever library you got that from, because I don't think EqualsGreaterThanColon or LessThanLessThanLessThan are very good names (whether you write them with letters or with symbols), but I don't think restricting the language actually makes it any better.
As a developer I was about to give you an elaborated reply but I'm gonna simplify it.

Do you trust more your calculator when you have to perform simple operations like sums , multiplication or square root , or you trust your self with a paper and pen more?

The calculator is a board with written code by humans. Then please, do you think Space X does all their calculations by hand or base on computer simulations using well known and tested algorithms
> Perl is designed to make life easier for the guy who writes the code

Whenever I write perl, I feel like the binary is actively fighting me, not helping me…

perl is designed to make simple things easy, and hard things possible. Readability is up the the programmer, and writability is up to the editor.
I think the answer to your question of "What drives this line of thinking" is simpler than you think:

- More popular libraries are better maintained and have more support

- More people use them (obviously), so more problems will already have already been solved the ${library} way

- Much easier to hire developers who know the more popular libraries
> A mirror is harder to take out with a single splash of mud.

Never mind mud, what about the ice? I drove trucks for a while and the entire front of my truck was routinely coated with snow, slush, and ice. If it was heavy enough I'd have to pull over and tap at it with a 'tire thumper' to knock huge chunks off periodically. Keeping the windshield clear was a constant battle. I wonder what kind of camera or sensor could be used that wouldn't ice up. Traditional mirrors have heating and most are enclosed in a front-facing housing. They get really hard to see out of too, because the salt and sand spray kicked up by the vehicle in front of you sticks to the heated glass of the mirror and collects there. Visibility in winter driving is a difficult problem but perhaps that can be improved.

LFSR's are cool, I learned a decent amount about them while I was implementing SHA-3 in python.
In the UK there are laws you can opt out of being asked to work more than a certain amount of hours. They company should have an out of hours plan but most experienced developers will know very few things get resolved in the middle hours of the night, things need testing, reviewing and sometimes the solution is not simple, it is better like you said to have ops staff that gather data and then pass it on when devs are in fresh, however if you have, say, a big international sale which is happening in another timezone then why not just pay staff as a one off to be around?
Can you clarify your argument/provide a possible solution?

Your line of thinking seems kind of absurd to me - "Hey, we can't possibly predict our data model requirements in the future, and explicitly encoding them into a schema/ADT/etc hinders flexibility (and somehow productivity?)" doesn't really hold up to scrutiny. Flexibility is great, but if anything the lesson mongo taught us over the past few years is that stability and safety are more important, and will cause you less of a headache in the long term. I feel like the same applies to ADTs - of course its more flexible to just have a free floating `name: String` or whatever, but then you also get to have the fun of validating your data all day as opposed to letting your compiler do the dirty work for you.
There is a third thing, which is to use a dopant which reduces minority carrier lifetime and provides radiation resistance when manufacturing the semi-conductor. Platinum works really well for this. Unfortunately, this can be a poor engineering tradeoff for some kinds of electronics (power transistors for example) and usually increases electrical resistance. AFAIK nobody manufactures platinum-doped microprocessors.

I used to be a product manager for radiation measurement electronics, and we used platinum-doped diodes for the part intended to go in the beam.

See for example:

I have seen these in bangalore, in fact there is one very close to my office. One of the things that concerns me with such projects is that how they effect other eateries in the area. The one near my office that opened recently is on a street with about 5 other eateries. Having a eatery which is subsidized by government distorts this local market and adversely affects the other businesses in the area since they also cater to similar demographic with largely similar products. So while on its own this might be a good initiative, the economic impact of such initiatives might be more harmful to the local area economy. It s like creating more homeless so you can built shelter homes. A better way to do the same thing might be just to issue food vouchers which the people can use to by the food of their choice from any of the other eateries. It provides affordable food to those who cannot afford and also supports the smaller businesses.

Several years ago, I was chatting with a forensic accountant in a pub, and he was explaining about the use of Bendford's law in their work. I'd never heard of the law before, which is partly why it piqued my curiosity at the time. He explained that it was often used as a very quick sniff test for them, but not as proof of innocence or guilt.

Given the relative ease with which it could be calculated and analysed, it essentially became the first thing that they'd do once they'd got hold of the books. They'd do a quick analysis of the numbers, look at the distribution, and then use the outcome to give hints at where something unusual was going on. In his experience some 70-75% of the time, if Benford's law suggested something was odd, it was actually odd.
I switched today to firefox and it really feels faster, but also I remembered how some things annoys me on Chrome, for example you can't modify new tab to remove everything on Chrome, so in my case, it makes me to click around more and procrastinate, as I see the sites there, also I never liked the Chrome dev tools, I know the general opinion is that are better, but felt to complicated for me and somehow slow, to busy.

> New York election law is incredibly arcane and structurally makes it almost impossible to win a primary without the backing of the party, and the two parties have an agreement not to compete seriously in each other's districts. It's like how Comcast and Time Warner Cable divide up turf, so they don't ever really have to compete for the same customers.

Can you give an example of these election laws? I see you mentioned a delay in switching parties elsewhere in the thread, but I don’t see how that makes it impossible for a candidate to win a primary without party backing.
I am. I need turing complete code to build stuff very regularly.

I'd rather we aimed to make build scripts that are turing complete and as short and simple as possible rather than non-turing complete.
