This is just a miscommunication of what "better" means in this context.

No one disputes that a modern computer implementing a Turing machine is going to calculate faster than manually manipulating MTG cards.

However, better here means 'more expressive'. Turing completeness is concerned with whether or not a computational system is 'universal' or not. In other words, whether that computational system can compute everything that another computational system could. If two systems can both be shown to simulate a Turing machine, then that means that those systems could compute the same exact set of things (given enough time).

So with regards to expressiveness (or the things a system could theoretically compute), since a modern computer can implement a Turing machine and a MTG game can implement a Turing machine, they are both the same, and thus neither is 'better'. In other words, the addition of electricity doesn't effect what a system could theoretically compute.
I found it very worthwhile. My manager at the time recommended someone who had helped him.

The main, direct improvement she made was with my communication style. I had a tendency to explain things. OK, waffle. She helped me make it more punchy, keep the audience with me. Has worked well.

The most interesting, and affecting, exercise was soliciting feedback on how I come across. From family, close friends and work colleagues (senior, peers and juniors). And then interviewing them about it. Not sure it made me change anything but it affected profoundly how I saw myself.

Magic meaning "I don't understand the conventions and haven't bothered to understand them so I'll either move on to another framework with different magical rules that I understand or I'll just write raw SQL."
Localization of the iconography is pretty neat -- the Entertainment / Leisure category has a castle for "Historic" but a gateway-templey thing for the "Historic (China)". A whole bunch of Japan-specific ones too. The Buddhist temple is a swastica, but the thousand-year-old unity-of-life kind, not the rotated-45-degrees hitler kind.
The yin and yang of organizational health
To be fair, I've made connections (not in Japan) with seconds to spare due to prior train delays. I'd be pretty annoyed if I missed one due to a train leaving early, even when such punctuality isn't generally expected.
I belief that sentence to be broadly correct. First and foremost, it is making a comparison more than an absolute statement of fact. And (without having first-hand experience), it doesn't seem obviously wrong to say that someone who left for an extended vacation in 2014 would have more surprises waiting for him today than a mechanical engineer who did the same from 1926 to 1929.

Note also that the statement is also talking about the "half life", indicating an understanding that there is a part to expertise that is less susceptible to aging. One can criticize that the concept of half life is misapplied, because the underlying process isn't stochastic, i. e. that half of knowledge will not again half in another half life. But then one would be splitting half hairs, which of course is one of the engineering skills that never go out of date.
This is about tribes, not races. Midwest is very much a rural vs. urban notion more than a racial one.
>The complexity here is that the firmware updates shipped for Linux may well take a different QA path to the firmware updates shipped for Windows, as the distribution channels are different.

Assuming that they're all still Dell-made firmware blobs, I don't see why they'd be different at all. Anything that Ubuntu can "do to them" ought to ruin the signature. Only an authentic Dell firmware blob should actually make it through the BIOS' checks to installation.

It's like saying, "look, you opened our cryptographically signed file under our system, sure, but you downloaded it through an unsupported channel."
I'd like to see the social stigma around mental health eliminated. It's commonly viewed as a positive thing to care about, and work toward, better physical health. I wish that were true for mental health. I wish improving your mental health was as normal as going to the gym.

I share the author's sentiments. Vue is the first framework that actually made writing front-end code pleasant. I sometimes even find myself looking forward to it!

I use it with an Elixir/Phoenix backend and the two work incredibly well together.
There was an excellent article on how the designs of Google Maps has dramatically changed from 2016 to 2017. Screenshots were gathered every month, and the trend across months was pretty telling of a shifting emphasis from roads to places. The same was done for Apple Maps, which, for the most part, hadn't changed.

A station becoming unexpectedly busy may have knock-on effects (e.g. taking longer to make your way through and thus missing a train), so it might not be a net benefit.
I don't think I am. In this thread you're repeatedly making the point that 2.7 supported Unicode and the difference is mostly technical details of things like internal representation and/or a matter of prefixes or whatnot.
This just isn't true. The fundamental change is - in Python 2, strings are bags of bytes and in Python 3 strings are collections of Unicode codepoints and you need to go through an encoding to convert to and from bytes. This is a big (and necessary) deal. No amount of debating the finer points of implementation, feature retention or reintroduction, etc is going to make that difference not matter.

I have been progressively enhancing an older Rails+jQuery app with Vue.js components, and integration has been a breeze.

Things I'll note:

- Rails effectively now has two asset pipelines. Sprockets has been the off-the-shelf inclusion for some years. The Webpacker gem is making Sprockets look out-of-date and under-maintained. Adding Vue to the existing project has been trivial, using Webpacker. At some point, somethings gotta give and we choose one or the other. My money is on Webpacker.

- Vue components are very readable. For a Rails-first developer looking to be productive this has been a huge win over the other "big three" comparable frameworks.

- Building a real-time control panel with ActionCable and Vue was amazingly easy - there was no impedance mismatch between the client and server side - and the result is surprisingly reliable and extremely performant even for mobile clients with patchy connectivity. The hardest part was finding the right nginx+ELB configuration to handle the Websockets upgrade.

- One of the first things I always seem to build is higher-level abstractions for forms, such that (for example) client- and server-side validations render with consistent L&F and without POLA violations in the UX. Vue gives some excellent primitives to assist e.g. v-model, but some kind of next-level abstraction for forms is an obvious next step for the integration.

- I see the peanut gallery is sledging the "template language", not realising that one may switch template formats with ease. I've seen Vue components written in JSX, Haml, Pug et al. Obviously it's better if a team standardises, but complaining about the "template language" means you missed a full understanding of what you're looking at.

- Turbolinks is, as usual, a pain in the ass. By reimplementing basic web browser functions such as navigation and page caching as a frankly premature optimisation, Turbolinks introduces numerous incompatibilities and misbehaviours. There are compatibility shims, but adding and maintaining such for every glitch your users encounter is gonna suck for everybody. Top tip, if you're using Vue with Rails, disable Turbolinks.
The SPLC is not a credible organization for mapping 'hate groups'
I think what the parent post meant is that this reasoning is flawed by assuming the coin spends the same time face-up in the very first iteration as in every other one, and that's a fallacy.
To put it simply, assuming a 4 second rotation, the first second will be spent in state A, the next second will be spent equalising the time in both states, the next second will actually put state B second ahead in face-up totals, then reequalizing, ad vitam eternum - which invalidates the article's point about always having one with time at most equal, and one with time at least equal, since they alternate in total face-up time.

Edit : Basically, unless you start the coin in the vertical state, the odds-and-even comparison doesn't apply.

Your comment doesn't make sense to me given the information in your sources. I don't agree with your characterization of the FCC as "trying to take regulatory control over the internet" (implying that it doesn't have that authority) or your statement that "...their attempts have been rebuffed by the courts in literally every single case."

In your first source the case United States Telecom Association, Et al., v. Federal Communications Commission is mentioned, where the ruling was made in _favor_ of the FCC by a 2-1 margin. Additionally, the decision you cite in your third source was a loss for the FCC, but clearly their authority to regulate the internet was not in question, to whit, "The court upheld the FCC's authority to regulate broadband providers to encourage nationwide broadband deployment, agreeing with the FCC's interpretation of section 706 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act."

wasn't AT&T a regulated monopoly -- at least since 1913? FCC effectively barred competition and AT&T's pricing and policies required approval from gov't. It wasn't until late 50's and 60's when a relentless third party device maker, Thomas Carter, challenged AT&T's (and gov't sanctioned) monopoly that subsequently weakened AT&T's grip on all things communication. The rest is history.

So, in your mind what caused AT&T to become a monopoly for so long?
I'm certainly not saying nuclear war wouldn't be awful - it would be!

But in judging Carl Sagan's claims, we look at what he actually wrote to the public, and it's the specific climate claims that Carl Sagan made that appear to be wildly incorrect.

Generally when talking about tax rates in this context it's about the income tax. There is no wealth tax in the U.S. I don't think there ever has been one either. Reagan believed the tax on labor should be less than the tax on capital. I agree with him on this but the current Republican party has deviated quite far from where even Reagan stood.

It's not about "speaking publicly", it's about claiming (implicitly, typically) that Science supports a particular side in a political debate. Science very rarely actually has the power to do that - it can advise on how (probably) best to achieve a given outcome under certain constraints.

The political debate of Sagans time was unilateral nuclear disarmament and it fed eagerly on accounts of the horror of nuclear war. The unstated constraint was that it was perfectly happy to accept a significantly less restrained Soviet Union on the world stage. Science can't tell you if that's a good idea or not.

It reminds me of Bill Nye, an ME who is presented as a scientist, but isn't much more a scientist than an amateur scientist.

He's good for kids, but not someone adults should look to for science, given it's scriptwriters and producers putting forth the "science" with him as frontman.
In most public transit systems that run according to published timetable departing early is taken as more serious issue than departing late. It might seem counterintuitive, but inconvenience caused to passengers by arriving/departing late (small additional wait time) is significantly smaller than by departing early (missing the connection entirely and having to wait for the next one).

IIRC in Prague's transit system drivers are fined for not observing the timetable without external cause and the fine for departing even one second early is same as for being several minutes late (and is relatively significant fraction of their monthly salary).
>As I’ve gotten a bit older and gained more experience, I’ve found that valuable startup ideas aren’t actually a scarce resource. In fact, they’re only becoming more abundant — as the world moves faster and more new businesses are created, more novel niches appear for profitable, productive companies.

If we define valuable as "profitable, productive companies" then I very much agree that there are plenty of niches out there.

However, if we are talking about startups that can actually grow big by Silicon Valley standards, I have personally come to the opposite conclusion. Ideas with the potential to become big are very much THE scarce resource.

I used to think that things like capital and teams are scarce, but it turns out there are a lot of sharp hard-working people with access to cash. By contrast, ideas that can grow to a billion dollar outcome are very few. I remember Andy Rachleff saying a decade ago that each year 10-15 companies are started that will eventually grow to become billion-dollar outcomes. My impression is that this pattern has held.

What does change all the time is where the opportunities are. Some industries mature, thus potentially closing for new opportunities, at least for a while, e.g. until a tech breakthrough. The good news is that new markets develop all the time, and the cycle repeats.

P.S. Thanks for putting this together and sharing with the community. I hope some dots get connected meaningfully.
ActionCable chokes at scale though - you’re better off using Phoenix Channels which can scale vertically for very little money and for a long long time.

Ask HN: Experience using Segment?
Debating using an in house tracking interface (something I did at a previous company) or using Segment. Really just need this for analytics and mixpanel tracking off the bat, but dig Segment's integration with Redshift and Salesforce. Anyone have experience working with those destinations in Segment? How was the experience? Is it really "One Api to Rule Them All?" or did you find you had to do a lot of conditionals per destination?

Legalization efforts of hard drugs are not really efforts to stimulate drug use; rather they are intended to make visible addiction which is typically hidden underground. Marijuana is a bit of an odd case as it is generally considered harmless; there's an argument it never should have been illegal in the first place.

> highly unethical

How is a company leveraging intentionally public data unethical? That's quite a stretch. Stop making your information public if you don't want people or companies to look at it. It's as simple as that.

If you want to talk about unethical practices, let's talk about financial companies selling your transaction data to advertisers and insurance agencies, or social networking platforms re-purposing the content of your direct messages, or ISPs selling your browsing history. Those are actual things which have a reasonable expectation of privacy. These are actual instances of problematic PII abuse and what laws like GDPR are intending to curb.
"Good language features for value types," while retaining memory safety, means at least one of these things:

* Boxing anything you take a reference directly to

* Forbidding sum types and complicating the GC to allow interior pointers

* Forbidding references to value types

* A borrow checker

Guess which one is most flexible, and novel in Rust.

That was great work and it made RISC-V look that much more viable to me. To think that thousands of programs are ready to go whenever the hardware arrives is really amazing. It's unfortunate that some of it has to be repeated after the ABI changes, but that seems a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things. But then I'm not the one who did it or has to redo it ;-) Anyway, great job guys!

1. You do not need "net neutrality/not net neutrality" for this. if your cohort is people in nursing homes/old people's home then you provide a reference URL to the nursing home and in T&C tell them that by agreeing to this plan they agree to you monitoring their internet usage for "blah blah blah" and in exchange for that you provide price X. If they want unfiltered intewebz, they get it for price X+Y

2. If you are not providing last mile, you are not competing with comcast, verizon, at&t or whoever else owns that infra.

Why must a company be started in silicon valley? There are other cities and countries with lower cost of living and more of a socio-economic balance. This comment feels californo-centric to me.
There is no TLDR, summary, etc. clearly marked as such; by one estimate it takes 140 seconds or 468 words to get to the start of the sentence you quoted above; which is strange given your point is to stick to best practices unless there’s a strong reason not to do so. Strongly recommend moving that info to the top of your post.
We're just seeing the pendulum swing from "flexible and gets out of your way (react)" to "opinionated and tightly structured (vue)".

They're incentivized to build taller buildings so they can have more tenants split the cost of the tax, lowering the cost of their building's offering and staying competitive.

That's the whole point of the land tax... if you want to plop a single-family home on a given parcel of land, you can if the single family wants to pay for the whole thing. But there's a strong incentive to build taller so more people competitively split the tax.
I sold my collection in about 2000. It wasn't worth 5k...mostly 4th edition cards, and whatever expansions were out then.

I did a little experiment a while ago: I made a two-word update to my LinkedIn profile adding the phrase "Machine Learning" for a week just to see what happened, changing nothing else.

Im a Jew and this sounds like bullshit to me. I wonder if anyone interviewed his fellow prisoners to see how real his was.

This prison culture exists but his view is tainted by being a total outsider to it, and it appears, a desire to gain sympathy by exaggerating.

He sounds like a rich kid in prison getting manipulated and bullied because he’s not able to defend himself or attract allies.

The fact that he claims to have dealt with nazis in America outside of prison makes me think he’s a huge liar.

There are no nazis in America. There are racist poor idiots in prison and outside that wish they were nazis. The few that try anything violent get locked up in prison like the common criminals they are. Other violent crime is a massively bigger problem.

Trust me, I’ll be the first one ready to fight if anyone starts killing Jews.
