Very cool, I'd love to see a more scientific approach to understanding software development methodologies.

What might be interesting is a metric to see how 'refactorable' a codebase is - i.e once a class is created what is the probability there would be significant changes in the future for highly tested vs untested code.

Also the same metrics along a dimension of typed vs untyped languages (my hypothesis would be that unit testing would show more benefits for untyped languages like Python than .NET).
I like the explanation of the "journey" rather than just the description of "how you can do this too."

Inkscape is ok. It has serious issues though - pretty terrible performance, confusing UI, still requires X11 on Mac, etc. Probably still the best free SVG editor but I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call it good.
Just adding my 2 cents.

I'm creating a website for my parent's farm. Right now I'm using netlify for hosting(free), metal
smith as generation, and netlifycms so my parents can edit the content.

For example we raise registered goats so we need to add info for each goat to the web site. I added a new collection for goats, configured it to have the right fields, and added the needed layouts to metalsmith. The information is then used in creating both a summary page that lists all the goats and individual pages for each goat. Only thing I have to pay for is the domain.

I'm really liking it so far. It seems to be very flexible with the ability to extend the code and write your own widgets.

My only complaint about the CMS is the documentation is lacking so you have to dig through code to fix some issues.

Thanks for making this netlifycms devs. :)

Additional paid-in capital (https://finance.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ%3ATSLA&fstype=ii...) went from $3.4B to $7.8B in 2016 to $9.0B as of 9/30. Issuance of stock provided $1.9B in 2016 and $0.5B so far this year (https://finance.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ%3ATSLA&fstype=ii...).

I bet many of these would be even smaller in SWF, since that's a very efficient (bit-packed, and then compressed) binary format specifically designed for small filesize, as opposed to the textual XML of SVG (although SVG is not really "XML-ish" in the sense that path data is still a list of points, and not one-element-per-point.)
I've come to the conclusion that this often also applies to the founder / VC relationship. The best angels and VCs are relatively hands off, providing counsel when asked, hook ups and intros, and other resources but otherwise letting the founder steer the ship. Activist VCs tend to destroy anything innovative.

This didn't work for me (Debian unstable), because man called nroff, which doesn't understand the -P option.

So I put

DEFINE nroff groff -mandoc -P-i

in /etc/manpath.config . This did the trick, but I'm not sure it didn't break something else.

Surely airport security was at its peak before the 70s when they started actually screening things? Before that you just got on the plane.

Until 2001, you essentially just got on the plane. Oh, they made you walk through a metal detector, so take your keys out of your pocket. Other than that, walk right to the gate whether you hold a ticket or not. Don’t tell my wife this, but one of the pluses of increased security is I just dump her at the door now instead of parking he car and navigating the airport concourse just so I can give her a kiss seconds before she walks on the plane. And I don’t have to be waiting at the gate when she comes home. (I know, real sentimental guy I am. She’s fine with it, which is what matters.) OTOH, we did lose the ability to just go to the airport and watch planes take off. Yup, just drive to your local international airport, with no ticket and no money spent otherwise, go through the metal detector, pick a random terminal and watch them come and go. Leave your I. D. at home, no one will want to look at it.

I remember having the spouse come to a screeching stop in front of the airport 20 minutes before my flight, carry-on in hand, doing “an O. J.” (re: old commercial w/O. J. running through an airport to catch a plane). Made it, too.

They’d scan checked bags and carry-ones, but that was on a separate thread, so one didn’t notice most of the time.

In summary, yeah, it was slightly better before the hijackings of the 70s, but not by much IMO.
Ask HN: How often do you switch job?
I use iTerm2 and neovim as well and find tmux really beneficial for two reasons:

1. https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator. I use ctrl-h/j/k/l to navigate vim splits, and with vim-tmux-navigator, I can seamlessly move between splits and tmux panes. It's really nice.

2. Project management. I use a separate instance of vim per project I'm working on, and each instance corresponds to a tmux window. I have a no-prefix bind on ctrl-f that brings up the choose-window command, so I can navigate between projects with `ctrl-f <number>`. I haven't found a solution to switch between projects in a single vim instance that is as fast this.
For someone who hasn't learnt Rails or any other backend framwork and has only briefly dabbled with NodeJS, is it better to learn Rails first or should I learn Elixir / Phoenix directly? Thanks.
Nomination is not the same as confirmation. The US congressional system is built on a system of checks and balances. Even a single senator, lacking an opposed super majority, can indefinitely delay and ultimately kill any nomination. This, coincidentally, happened with Rosenworcel's initial nomination (in 2012) when the senate, thanks to a single minority party senator, refused to even consider her nomination for months until other conditions were met.

There's no gentleman's agreement like you seem to think, or at least are certainly implying. The reason that the minority party gets to select their nominees is because of the implicit threat of rejecting anybody except their picks.

Yes, but it was mostly Bush II who institutionalized that doctrine. Obama continued to some extent the neoconservative program with awful consequences. My main criticism of him is that he ran as a radical against those policies and then governed as a lukewarm yes man.

Trump, as obnoxious as he is, would have to be truly terrible to beat the neocons.
It's not a huge difference, but there is a softened between phishing and spear-phishing. It's a lot easier for a specifically crafted spear-phishing campaign to get through whatever mental heuristics you use to identify scams than the broad phishing campaigns you usually see.

I was curious about You can’t (without a lot of chicanery) unit test private methods.

Why is that? Maybe you can't test them directly but private methods should be executed and thus indirectly testable by public methods. If there is code in private methods that can't be executed by any public method invocation, it's unnecessary code isn't it?
Yes. Site is awful. Result there are important. The site is so bad that it makes the results look less credible.

wasm is more baked into the web platform than either are; flash wasn't as bad as java in this regard, but still. Nobody wrote flash libraries that your JS code could use, they used it for the equivalent of a big old <canvas>.

It also does not require a second runtime; integrating wasm support into existing JS VMs took very little code compared to an entire JVM or flash runtime.

Except that it’s all relative. What you’re describing would merely be a shift, and only on some issues at that. Even within the most progressive / conservative groups, there are divisions. You would never get a place with universal acceptance of every issue. There would certainly still be conservatives and liberals, but at different places in the scale for each issue, compared to somewhere like the USA. See other countries for examples. It’s not so black and white between ‘left’ and ‘right’.
This article reflects an opinion I've long held about game reviews - it's okay for other people to have different opinions. All a review can be is one person's opinion. It might be insightful, helpful, great, terrible, but it's all just an opinion.

There should be room within artistic criticism for critics to have different opinions. If Polygon wants to analyze games through the lens of left-leaning politics, that's fine! Readers who want games examined in that way will find that useful. If Totalbiscuit wants to rate games based on their PC ports and framerate, that's also fine! He has an audience that enjoys that.

It is acceptable and even valuable for there to be a wide variety of opinions and criticism for an art form. Forget Metacritic bonuses. It's not our job to worry about that. When you read criticism you disagree with, have the confidence to say, "I understand why you didn't like that game, but I did and that's okay."
It is due to computing resources. LQCD calculations consume a large fraction of all the world's supercomputing, and there's never enough to go around.

The procedure is essentially an evaluation of a millions-of-dimensions-large integral via Markov-chain Monte Carlo. Each step in the Markov chain requires inverting extremely large ill-conditioned matrices, which we can make better-conditioned by moving away from physical parameters (and then trying to extrapolate). People are glad to have only hundreds or thousands of independent samples in an ensemble. You need ensembles for multiple lattice spacings and spatial volumes in order to ensure you can control your discretization and finite-volume artifacts when you extrapolate to the continuum and to infinite volume.

What is generated in the Markov chain is essentially the configurations of the gluons and quark loops. With these configurations in hand we can measure physical observables on each.

Observables with baryons have an exponentially bad signal-to-noise problem in the temporal direction (time on the grid, not Monte Carlo time) and you either need an exponentially large computer, an exponentially long time, or an exponentially wealthy funding agency. There are attempts to circumvent this issue, we'll see how successful they prove...
>which can scale for every potential use case

For a certain type of lowish-level programming, yes. But there's a reason that many projects include something like Lua for the majority of the actual application-level work.

I highly recommend reading "The Rational Male" (book). Besides other valuable insights it will give you a good understanding of what you describe here as "groupthink" and "secret pact".
I also believe that this feature has been somewhat deprecated since there is no authentication involved in caller ID at all.

That resulted in cold callers camouflaging themselves using either suppressed or incorrect phone numbers, reducing the value of called ID to zero.

Yup. Am curious how much further you guys go beyond that.
When gamers organize, usually the press will mysteriously start making up a barrel of salacious lies about them. Some subset of the public then gets a nasty impression of them, and life goes on. This time, something of an organized boycott (by way of large numbers of people realizing that to purchase the game or its DLC is to be complicit in EA's merchandising choices) it really hit EA's bottom line, so they'll say whatever they can to discredit and play down the consumer's opinion of their product and practices.

Is coloring creative? I think that's a different question from whether a complete, clean re-implementation of a software library is creative.

As for that question though, I'll push it a bit further - is drawing an outline of a bird creative? I'd argue it's more interesting than the next person coloring the bird. But it's also decidedly less interesting that what evolution has done in generating a bird from billions of years of evolution.

But I'd say yeah, something was created because the artist had a desire for the bird, and then produced it. Or, the artist (for some definition) had a desire for a green bird, then colored it. Of course, neither the drawing of the bird nor the coloring was novel.

So as it's not an autonomous manufacturing process, it's creative. Your bones generating blood cells is not creative work.

Software that adds colors between lines isn't itself creative, but the person who developed the software used creativity.

To me, it looks like a typical website design of the 90s: a left navigation frame, with the contents in the right frame. In fact, according to the <meta> tags, that site was made with FrontPage, as was common on that era.
If it's a fully private entity like Facebook, is it truly "censorship" in the derisive sense that we associate with it?

If a user on Facebook posts aggressive and distasteful white identity propaganda which begins alienating other users, do Facebook and its advertisers not have the right to use the platform they created to exclude such content should they desire to do so? Does a fictitious "right to be heard" from a privately-administered entity supersede Facebook's actual right to property and self-determination over that property?

If "censorship" is truly a problem here, only another free-market alternative to Facebook is the correct solution. Gab did it with Twitter. Now, whether or not Gab will ever be as successful as Twitter because of the userbase it curates is an entirely different story. One is not entitled to a specific outcome, and if rejecting racism is what makes big business big, there's not much left that the other side of this debate can complain about.

I've had a similar debate. Someone kept trying to exclude some of our data objects from test coverage reports. I agreed we shouldn't bother testing getter/setters. But, those object better be used in other tests we are writing.
It makes a ton of sense when you think about all the hype, preorders, franchises, exclusive IP grants, etc. that go into these events.

Battlefront 2 (2) is a great example. AAA game, so people felt comfortable preordering. Has the Star Wars IP, one of the most famous universes there is. Is continuing the old Battlefront 2, an insanely popular game and likely a cherished childhood memory of a large part of the now adult population making the purchases and complaining. And despite all the bad press, it is generally considered a good game, it's just that greedy policies ruin it for a lot of people.

The way I see it: there is simply not enough wealth accumulated to keep these flights running. Perhaps in a future world were aviation kerosene is cheaper, engines more efficient, and airframe and power plant maintenance more heavily automated, we'll see a revival of supersonic transportation. Until then, I'd rather airlines not bleed money keeping these planes flying. One might get teary-eye'd over the shuttering of the program, but more efficient allocation of resources is a real cause for celebration!
